Village of Whitesboro, Lampooned by 'The Daily Show,' Changes Its Seal

The old seal for the village of Whitesboro is being replaced after it was ridiculed on Comedy Central.

A New York village has changed its official seal after it was ridiculed on Comedy Central.

Meant to commemorate a friendly wrestling match between village founder Hugh White and a member of the local Oneida tribe, the image appeared to show a white man choking a Native American.

In January 2016, "The Daily Show" aired a segment after village residents decided to keep the traditional logo for its historic value. After the controversy made national news, village officials said they would change the seal's design.

The new seal maintains the wrestling match theme, but with newer graphics and more historically correct attire.
