Agatha Christie novels reworked to remove potentially offensive language

No need to read the story. Headline tells it all.

This is actually nothing new.
'And Then There Were None', is a re-working of 'Ten Little Indians', which was originally released in the UK under the title of, wait for it.....(prepare the fainting couch for any passing Americans....)
Obviously, this topic is a whole new opportunity for many different groups of people with nothing better to occupy their time to get enormously upset, whether it's because of racist names (Guardian readers), or bowdlerizing of really quite offensive titles (Daily Mail "readers").
If we're honest, I think most people would find getting really upset to be a lot more fun than reading an Agatha Christie novel.

I guess both sides of the politics are actually closer on this issue than ever before.
Depending on which side you follow, insert your words below.
"We cant have books in our school libraries that have words such as XXX or talk about topics such as YYY!!!! The world will fall apart if we do!!! DOWN WITH BOOKS! DOWN WITH BOOKS!"
