Some morons are writing kid-friendly versions of famous lit, "to get them really psyched about these books now, so that they’ll want to read the originals later." Or, as non-morons might put it, "to ruin the books for the poor kids subjected to these dumb knock-offs."

And how do they write this article without any mention of Thomas Bowdler, or his work?
