Adios, Mr. Potato Head
 
Alas, poor Mr. Potato Head! I knew him, Horatio (that's Shakespeare, mutilated)

and you too, Mrs. Potato Head.


Mr. Rogers is likely in the on-deck circle. Some things I don't quite understand anymore.

Mr. Potato Head brand goes gender-neutral, dropping "Mr." title

There is no such thing as majority rules or common good any more, it is simply who screams the loudest or has the most viral posts.

yep, that certainly applies to almost all of this "cancel culture'", "identity politics", "politicizing everything", and so much more.

It's a troubling time in the good old US of A. IMO.

this is yet another example>

A plastic potato?! The potatoes were real back in the day with plastic parts attached to a push pin. It was just plain fun for us kids. Now I've read that due to complaints about rotting vegetables and government safety regulations the plastic potato came into effect in 1964. Where was the outrage then? Time to refocus your angst on happier times when potatoes were cheap and we didn't confuse a potato's eye with one of our own

Too much PC

It has been reported that.........
“GLAAD, an LGBTQ advocacy group, applauded the more inclusive Potato playset.”

What else matters? Surely not common sense.

Just keep my Law & Order, Blue Bloods and Chicago PD running to infinity and I’ll be just fine.

Our country is going to a giant wasteland commanded by those who have nothing better to think about. Logic no longer works...It should be laughable, but it’s not...really we need to be terrified...
