I'm nearly certain, but not 100%, but wasn't there a Mrs Potato Head character in one of the Toy Story sequels?

This world went mad a long time ago, my advice is ignore this WOKE crap and just go with your heart on what feels right and wrong. Unless you're an intrinsically bad person, 99.9% of the time you will be right. :bluebird:

I think a lot of very clever marketing people are wringing the life out of this phase and the donut head "wokies" are being played like fiddles.

Hasbro marketing team - "How can we get a 70 year old board game in the news and talked about"

Young exec: " A McDonald's game promo ? , new packaging, an internet version ?"
"nah, lets do nothing and say we are going gender-neutral on the main character, a male potatoe"

"cool idea bro !!!!, BBC,CNN,MSNBC, Channel 4 will love us and talk endlessly about our progressive agenda and the old folks will go out and buy the game before we fcuk about with it and the beauty is we have done sweet FA..."

Boom, bonus time

Spot on mate. Win win for them. The amount of free advertising they get from the main stream then from social media like this. I never heard nothing about it till reading a football forum. Lol they are geniuses.

'Mr' Potato head was hardly a representation of a man. I mean, he never even had a dick. 'Mr' was always a bit of a stretch anyway. You just stuck plastic features on a genital free potato. I am surprised its still around.

My action man from the 1970's didn't have genitalia. A friend of mine, who didn't come out until the 90's, used to dress his action man in 'cindy doll' clothes and called him barbra. My action man used to frequently reject the advances of barbra.

Point is, it's really not worth getting upset about attaching or detaching a gender to lumps of potato or plastic.

Mrs Potato Head in Toy Story is great. Once asking if her husband had packed his "angry eyes" for a trip.

Voiced by the superb Estelle Harris who played George Costanzas mum in Seinfeld.

Calm down you snowflakes.
The BRAND is being changed to potato head, Mr & Mrs potato head aren't having their names changed.
