Imagine having so little going on in your life that you manage to find the time to be furious because a company has changed the branding of a toy it makes
Just in time for the weekend spittle rags too, it's going to be " How Boris saved Summer" or " Spudyounolike"

I didn’t fight forinners all through the Second World War in the trenches of Trafalgar, so my grandchildren ( bless em’) will have to play with nonce toys.

Except they’re not.


It’s only the firm branding that has become gender neutral, not the actual toys themselves.

You will still be able to buy’Mr Potato head’ or ‘Mrs Potato head’ made under the brand name ‘Potato head’.

Oh, that's not fair I was just gearing up for a proper fume at this.

Offended I was, really really seething.

You do realise the renaming is a reaction to the woke mob being that upset about "Mr. Potato Head" right?

So? They made a case and the company agreed, feel free to do the same.

Did anyone else have a Mr Liver Head? Not as successful as the potato one, but in my mind it was miles more fun!

This was always likely to happen , although I'd wager nobody ever found a set of plastic testicles when they purchased a man looking type Potato Head toy before .

The world has turned into a giant snowflake that's melting at a unsustainable pace and Mr and Mrs Potato head can take comfort in the fact that a few short years from now , there won't be any of those name changing double crossing humans around to interfere with thier birth rights .

Besides, potatoes reproduce asexually. They aren't gendered in nature. This is just the man imposing its own gender constructs on everything. Down with this sort of thing!

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
Thought I'd chip in to the gender mash up to ask why members of the anti social driving community are still referred to as 'boy racers'.

Crodo stirring again. What a surprise!

Me, I’ve always wanted a Divine Potato Head in classic Pink Flamingos pose.

Adults lap up those rather monotonous Funko Pops, so they’re missing a trick not making this.
