Nudity, the f-word, witches, child molestation, public urination, grave desiccation, hatred, prostitution, and it all ends on a nice note of spite... and I guess those changes were added in to make it politically correct?

I guess the old milktoast ghost story about redemption wasn't politically correct enough, so adding in the f-word, witches, child molestation, and prostitution... all somehow made it more politically correct.

In this version women all have magic powers, because women, and can use them to spite people, and it all ends on the uplifting note that there are more men to smite.

So, I guess the old version about redemption was somehow politically incorrect, so they had to change the ending to give spite the last word over redemption?

Ultimately, it's already a ghost story, there are certainly ways to make it darker and still keep it a Christmas story about redemption. I guess somewhere along the lines it went darker and replaced redemption with spite, and something tells me that the new message resonates much stronger with it's target audience than the concept of redemption ever could.
