Politically Correct Bullshit Alert!

From the New York Times:

In a newly revised edition of Goodnight Moon, a book which has lulled children to sleep for nearly 60 years, the publisher, HarperCollins, has digitally altered the photograph of Clement Hurd, the illustrator, to remove a cigarette from his hand.

Censorship in general...

[(Anonymous)]

According to the Wikipedia article about Fahrenheit 451, a 1967 version of the book was released without the words "damn" or "hell" so that the books could be distributed to schools. When Bradbury objected to censoring a book about censorship, the words were restored and an afterword was added with Bradbury's comments about "well-intentioned censorship."
