ReCensored Barks

[99E]

When the story about the Jade Elephant was printed in Denmark, I
remember wondering about a translation. I do not remember the exact
original, nor the exact translation.
Someone with the story handy might be able to help>
One of the soldiers are complaining about hist wristwatch. In english he
says something like "Dont ever trust those watches from Workers
Paradise", whereas in the Danish translation the watches seems to be
from the $crooge McDuck-factories. (Not exactly Workers Paradise, eh?)
Would that be censorship? It cannot just be bad translation...?'
 
 -99E.

Fernando asked if there were any other censored Barks stories in the CBL

apart from "Atom Bomb" and "Marco Polo". Yes, at least four: a cosmetic 
operation was carried out for the faces of the Brutopians in "A Cold 
Bargain" (US 17) as well as the faces of the natives in "Voodoo Hoodoo"
(FC 
238)(including the zombie), "Bongo On The Congo" (US 33), and "In
Darkest 
Africa" (MOC 20), although in the latter case it wasn't the censorship
that 
ruined the story forever, was it? :-)



I seem to remember reading an older Gold Key issue that featured a Barks
story where Scrooge searched for a jade elephant that featured many
lighthearted parodies of various races of people, and strange
almost-violent acts, which I found somewhat startling (for a Duck comic)
when I read it a few years ago. I'm not sure why...

I don't recall hearing much about the story since, or seeing it
reprinted. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and has it been
censored? I can definitely see something like that upsetting the "Disney
is CLEAN FAMILY FUN, I say!" attitude the current Disney seems to
attempt to be pushing into our laps.

Just wondering...
