Anyway, apparently they changed the title because "a child would not want to read a book that sounded as though it was associated with philosophy." Well, that's understandable. Actually, come to think of it, a lot of aspects of the book titles might be unappealing to morons. This is what they should've done:
The "issue" still grinds my gears because it's used in the media much more often than it should be. It doesn't even make sense. A sorcerer is not the same thing as a philosopher. There is no legendary "Sorcerer's Stone" supposedly capable of turning inexpensive metals into gold. And don't get me started on "The Golden Compass." Gargh. It's not even a fucking compass, it just looks a bit like one.
Yeah I know these Photoshops are shit but I'm sure it doesn't alter the point of the joke.
