Tom the Dancing Bug's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Corrected to Reflect Modern Sensibilities


Q: If Huck were a millionaire gangster rap star, how would he refer to Jim?

:rofl:

2. thank you for posting that. shows the idiocy of this whole thing.
we cannot just pretend history didn't happen. it's like in school i remember being taught how great our ancestors were for coming her and helping the indians. america was always the great country and the good guy and it wasn't until college that I learned just how wrong that was. we need to acknowledge our past and teach our kids just how our country was founded.

3. +100. Every 10 years or so, someone suggests revising Huck Finn.
The press always acts like it is a new idea. These revisions never catch on and the original endures.

5. LOL
Great use of humor to highlight the silliness of editing Mark Twain. Our history is our history, for better or worse.

6. Awesome
I will be sharing that with my high school Juniors. We just finished Huck and talked about the censorship decision.
