... is no more! 

Hasbro are rebranding him as a gender neutral potato character who will henceforth be known as plain old Potato Head! 

Not sure what is happening to Mrs Potato Head, maybe she will be self identifying as a non gender specific root vegetable? 

FFS! 

[STEMO]

Oh no! 

[STEMO]

Barrie dolls also come in multiple skin tones and different body shapes (anorexic to fat cow) now.

  Look what Apple did to my Barbie post, they change her sex for me.

[STEMO]

I'm glad I'm old and can ignore all of this shite.

[Doctor Gollum]

Even the Muppets are no longer sacred.

Sesame Street was always pretty inclusive from what I remember... Even Big Bird is probably offensive now

[Mr Skrunts]

I see Dragons Den attempt to fund a business here.

Mr Potatoe now available in the following packs

Wonder if Tukka would put up an ofeer to do the clothing range.
Childs version.
Crossgender version
Explicit version

[STEMO]

Love the headline in the Daily Star:
Mr Potato Head loses meat and two veg.

Racist as f*uck, apparently.

Apparently there will be no more white 'voice overs' for black cartoon characters. It's racist.

The same does not apply the other way round though.

Keep up with the times, Sir Tig. Gender neutral is the new normal.

Presumably there were not thousands of enraged gender fluid people and woke white liberals demanding Mr Potato head become gender neutral....so why has Hasbro taken the woke route?

Why not leave him with his manhood in tact?

what's going to happen about sausages ? too phallic  or does "Donna the kebab" and donuts cancel that out and make the woke balance right  ?

....or Mr Benn.

I suppose he will need to get changed in a gender free changing booth, before he goes on an adventure to fight gender free lions and tigers.

Clearly not ,or she'd have been pulled log before the kebab shop 
don't think I've ever come across a HOT "Donna"

Not strictly true. The manufacturers Hasbro have stated that the name of the toy will simply be Potato Head with no "Mr", however the characters will remain Mr & Mrs. So a slight nod to PC-ness but not really so dramatic. Mr & Mrs Potato Head have been around for some time. It really is just a very minor brand adjustment.

Gender neutral potatoes 
 boil them in hot oil that's what I say .....



and add salt and vinegar to taste

Why the need for 'adjustment'?

Why the necessity for Hasbro to demonstrate gender neutrality?

99% of the world are happy with being gender specific. 1% of the world are not. Yet it seems the the 99% will need to fall into line with the woke 1%.

 The words Man, woman, boy, girl, husband, wife, brother, sister, mother, father, Mr and Mrs......have been around for thousands of years because they are apt, and they work. If it ain't broke don't fix it, least of all for the 1% of misfits.

Sorry, missed it

But happy to re-emphasize the point that there has been quite an anti-PC pile-on about quite a trivial matter that is well explained in the video. There is a danger that some will see excessive wokeism where little or none exists. In this case the toy now includes lots of different Potato Heads, so they removed the very specific "Mr". As a purely commercial business decision, this makes complete sense to me, and I am certainly not one of the woke gender neutral loony left.

[dave the builder]

Or , they are using the current WOKE debate to publicise Mr Potato head and succeeding very well

Indeed, and good on them then. It's a fun toy that I certainly had as a child.

For the future, as a separate product line . . . . Cross Dressing or Trans Gender Potato Head? Remember you heard it here first

Exactly what is wrong with the term Mr and Mrs?...99% of adult people are either a Mr or a Mrs. Every letter (bill) I receive starts with the word Mr.

I did too, but you had to use your own potato.

They have NOT changed Mr or Mrs.

They have simply changed the name on the box to Potato Head instead of Mr Potato Head. Mr and Mrs, along with uncles, Aunts and others still exist as individual characters inside the box.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

 As a child's toy Mr Potato head is unimportant in the great scheme of things, but if it leads ( as seems to be the direction of travel) to everything being gender neutral/fluid rather than gender specific in future, then we are going down a dangerous path.

Yes, I know......and my question was why the need to do so.

I think Sir Tigger summed it up when he said the 'adjustment' will be seized upon by the world of woke as a step toward a better world. Gawd help us...

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Some within the 'trans' community dislike the word woman to such an extent that.........

Still, I sure 'real women' won't mind.

JK Rowling got into trouble for saying there was a word for people who had periods. .....and that word was woman. She got such a kicking from the trans community and the woke community that she won't make that mistake again. Whatever was she thinking.
