posty 2,296 Posted February 25, 2021 https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/mister-no-more-mr-potato-163741315.html NEW YORK (AP) — Mr. Potato Head is no longer a mister. Hasbro, the company that makes the potato-shaped plastic toy, is giving the spud a gender neutral new name: Potato Head. The change will appear on boxes this year. Toy makers have been updating their classic brands to appeal to kids today. Barbie has shed its blonde image and now comes in multiple skin tones and body shapes. Thomas the Tank Engine added more girl characters. And American Girl is now selling a boy doll. Hasbro said Mr. Potato Head, which has been around for about 70 years, needed a modern makeover.

TBayXXXVII 2,117 Posted February 25, 2021 Yes, because Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head promotes a nuclear family... and we can't have that in Liberal America. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 816 Posted February 25, 2021 Pros) Any publicity is good publicity -- "I didn't know they still made that Potato thing" plus make over-stocked inventory of Mr. Potato hotcake collector items. Cons) Piss off some people even though there's no chance of public push-back if ever called out on "Mr.". Conclusion) Uptick in short-term sales. No change long-term.

Voltaire 4,558 Posted February 26, 2021 Hasbro makes their money selling to people who have kids. The alphabet people don't have kids. Even the woke allies of the alphabet people have low birth rates. We're the ones with kids. Here's another company to keep in mind. I don't know that I'd boycott Hasbro for this, but I won't buy Potato Head. Any other birthday present decision that is a coin toss....I'll go wth the non-Hasbro toy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,083 Posted February 26, 2021 On its own accord is this a big deal? Of course not. However it is a perfect symptom of the pervasive culture that that big corp, big tech, big (dem) politics are not only moving towards but becoming. I have really hated the term "cuck" because it is used to much on this bored. With that said, it may be apropos. Even if you have Democratic / Liberal point of views, you can still have a focking backbone. Stand up to the ultra liberal left who are taking over your party and social mantra. You will not though, because you are scared to be "canceled" or are just scared period. The definition of a cuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTSkiBum 1,594 Posted February 26, 2021 Clickbait. I actually opened the link in the OP. Read the below, it is the 2nd or 3rd paragraph from the article. But in a tweet later that afternoon, Hasbro clarified that while the brand is changing, the actual Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head characters will still live on and be sold in stores. In a picture posted on Twitter, the “Mr.” and “Mrs.” names are less prominently displayed at the bottom of the box, instead of the top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just now starting to realize that people who call the liberals around here 'cucks' aren't really talking about their wives. They're talking about the 'cucks' souls. They're either cheering on, taking part in, or being compliant doormats who just readily accept being pissed on as the price for societal progress. Or are you guys really literally talking about MDC's (et all) wife? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
