Agitated, not circulated
rerwtriting to make it 
Remember the other day we talked about how Penguin and the Dahl family were nicifying Raold Dahl’s work by removing anything potentially “triggering”, “hostile”, or “hurts someone’s widdow feewings”. Well, now they are messing with Holy Writ, trying to de-ball the ultimate Man Books and emasculate the ultimate Male Archetype. I refer, of course, to Bond. James Bond.
Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels are set to be re-released in April to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Casino Royale, but the books will look a little different: They have been altered to remove potentially offensive language at the recommendation of “sensitivity readers.”
Fleming used the n-word repeatedly throughout the books he published during the 1950s and ’60s to describe black people. Now, the word will be scrubbed from the texts and replaced with “Black person” or “Black man.”
A portion of the book that described accented dialogue as “straight Harlem-Deep South with a lot of New York thrown in” was removed altogether.
Yeah, the N-word is not acceptable nowadays…but these books weren’t written nowadays.
In the Bond books, meanwhile, many mentions of ethnicity have been removed from several of the novels, including Thunderball, Quantum of Solace, and Goldfinger. Controversial references to other ethnicities will remain, however, including the racial terms Bond uses to refer to East Asian people and Bond’s mocking views of the Korean character Oddjob, according to the report.
So Bond will still be allowed to kill them, just not talk badly about them? Will Blofeld cradle a white cat instead of a Himalayan, will Rosa Kleb will become a height and weight challenged person of Central Asian Slavic extraction? Me, I have the entire set of Signet paperbacks (inherited, Dad was a fan) on a shelf and I ain’t trading them for the purer holier James. I want mine with the “juice” still in ’em. My James Bond wouldn’t trade his DB5 for a Prius.
You have to wonder what Jack Kennedy would have thought of this… he helped catapult Bond to prominence when asked what books he was reading and he mentioned “From Russia With Love.” However, I suspect I do know which finger Auric Goldfinger will be raising?
Category: Book Review, Liberals suck
Fuck political correctness sideways with a syphilitic mule dick.
Well stated [/nosarc]
So much for respecting the wishes of the artist.
Bowdlerization by petulant harridans of hackery. Bet these ‘sensitivity readers’ never published anything more complex than a 144 character Tweet. And that had typos in it.
Have to wonder…..
What books is it that POC love and enjoy?
Ones that denigrate white people?
Now, take one of those and bowdlerize it, taking out and replacing the parts that would offend whitey. Say what you’re doing publicly.
Then step back and listen to the LibTard screams and popping of heads.
Sauce, goose, gander.
They HAVE NO JOY…EVER
Have you ever met someone on The Left that’s happy and content? Are they ever grateful for what they have? No, even when they have all they asked for they still want more. To complain, to piss and moan makes them “happy”. That’s why you never appease them because they will see that as weakness and simply push for more.
No. They just want to feel better about themselves by making everybody else feel worse.
It’s that OR they want to drag everyone else they can into the misery they keep themselves in and I offer Comrade Major Moonbat from UC Berzerkely as evidence of that!
Rewriting? 😉
Yeah.
Rewriting a book probably violates the copyright.
Book burning by increments.
“Penguin To Publish ‘Classic’ Roald Dahl Books After Backlash”
https://www.kare11.com/article/news/nation-world/penguin-to-publish-classic-roald-dahl-books/507-b8f00833-8d11-45e6-9f4d-578aeea85dd8
“Along with the new editions, the company said 17 of Dahl’s books would be published in their original form later this year as “The Roald Dahl Classic Collection.”
“Publisher Penguin Random House announced Friday it will publish “classic” unexpurgated versions of Roald Dahl’s children’s novels after it received criticism for cuts and rewrites that were intended to make the books suitable for modern readers.”
“The move comes after criticism of scores of changes made to “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and other much-loved classics for recent editions published under the company’s Puffin children’s label, in which passages relating to weight, mental health, gender and race were altered.”
I’ll be looking for those in a boxed set at my local Costco, and buy at least one boxed set. For history & posterity.
Come to think of it, I think I saw them late last year in the Costco table of books. I’ll have to look again.
Viva toxic masculinity, “woke” p*ssies!
😉😎
NETFLIX HAS ANNOUNCED that they will be airing “Blazing Saddles” albeit edited by them, it will air tomorrow night from 8:00 to 8:05.
Actually live in that place Mel Brooks took as a model for Rock Ridge– he was quite accurate in his depiction:
Exactly what qualifies one as a “sensitivity reader,” aside from being a thin-skinned, sniveling pussy?
Gelding.
At least they didn’t take out the chauvanistic and masoginisitic references. Who else would run the Galor Circus!!?
Soi Boi Galor of course. 🙄
If Y’All need a good laugh, check out what this Dude said about the last James Bond movie…
What A Maroon….🤭😉😎

I’m always going to take advice from a guy wearing a shirt of multi colors, that he has to zip up, wearing all clear glasses, sporting a beard (?) that a cat could lick off, and the whiny tone of a broken electrical line.
He made me want to go see it.
Fucking idiot tool bag. Getting his panties in a wad over a fictional character.
He may eat a bag of dicks. Although, by looking at the fucktard, I believe he already has. Many time.

My dad has a fair collection of the Ian Fleming “Bond” books, so I’d read them by the time “Dr No” came out.
(I even have a copy of “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”. The Disney movie SUCKED!)
Allowing to artistic license, the first few Bond movies were fairly close to the books (except for the fantasy endings with the babes).
Then they started used the titles and place settings, but went off into more and more fantastic plots.
Still good movies on their own, but not the books.
We have all the James Bond Books as well as the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang book.
Sadly, reading a book is becoming a dying art just as cursive writing, sending handwritten cards, saying “Please” and “Thank You.”…
We Miss Captain Kangaroo…
I’ll believe that certain words are offensive to certain demographics when that particular demographic quits using that word in conversation, music(?), and as descriptive adjectives.
👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Yep!

Why is it that modern “people” need to be protected from everyfreakingdamnthing by socially woke nebbish? So much for freedom of speech if you cannot even decide for yourself what to read, see, speak even in the privacy of your own home.
Will they come for Remo Williams next? What about Craig Lowell?
I don’t know what’s wrong with all you people. I think this korrection of old patriarchal, cis-gendered misogyny is completely warranted. The language used by those old, dead white guys is double plus ungood.
So, SMERSH won…..
