Gay American Novelist Rolls in Pink Grave

international / social/political / commentary

Mark Twain, famous homosexual social commentator, journalist, raconteur, novelist and adventurer must be having a fit in fag heaven at the moment. An oft quoted Twainian statement, "the difference between the almost right word and the right word is … the difference between the lightening bug and lightning," becomes highly relevant today as the U.S., in true Orwellian mode, and without any intervention from the Capitol, flagrantly attempts to re-write American history.

The value of all literature as an indicator/measure of the culture in which it was/is produced is jeopardised by this lunatic American action; where will it end? Perhaps Germany now has license to edit and sanitise Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ and portray the mass murdering Nazi dictator as a martyred saviour of Germany who tried but failed to save Germany from the Zionist scourge which TODAY, coincidentally, threatens the peace and stability of the entire world – hmmm!

The word “nigger,” which occurs 200 hundred times in the 1844 edition of Twain’s famous novel, Huckleberry Finn, has been edited out and replaced with the politically correct word – in today’s culture – ‘slave;’ give the world a break you 'anal' American homophobes. Next they’ll be burning liberal poofs and dykes at the stake!

Fortunately the old adage applies, ‘only in America;’ the sane, tolerant, culturally diverse and enlightened WORLD would quickly interpret this absurd action as just another symptom of the rapid social, economic, moral and cultural DECLINE of the world’s leading insane superpower – we can’t wait for the next lunatic instalment from that asylum nation.

[Please note, that 'taste' is subjective and culturally specific; the disparaging (of) gay tone is quite intentional and is meant to emphasise the absurdity/import of the major theme/s of the story. Ed]
