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. https://t.co/yUAO4bVYG0— The Associated Press (@AP) February 25, 2021

All jokes aside, this is so stupid. Isn’t there already a Mrs. Potato Head anyway?

Will the gender neutral potato head now come with both boy and girl parts? A consolidation, if you will.
Will there no longer be a mrs potato head?



Will this affect adults in any way?
Will adults flip their **** even though they dont own one and dont plan to own one?

The gender neutral potato head will come with *human* parts and accessories that are not intrinsic to any gender. Hasbro has some balls to man up like this, knowing what kind of hysteria will ensue**

Can’t wait until we get an anatomical correct TransBarbie and transKen. Guess Miss Piggie is what the muppets are having the warning for and it’s to complicated to change all the past content to just refer to the character as Piggie but then that might offend PETA

Not a “lefty” by any means, but I don’t really give a **** what any company does on their own accord in regards to the gender identity (or lack thereof) of the products they sell. It’s not like this was some big controversy and Hasbro was forced into a corner by the media, politicians, etc. They did this on their own.

Smart marketing. Mom's buy Potato Heads not guys triggered by the dropping of the title Mr.. When's the last time anyone talked about Potato Head till now? Crazy thing about Hasbro I just learned is they also own Death Row Records. Ya know the record label formally owned by Suge Knight whose currently in prison doing like 15 years for murdering a guy by running him over with his truck on the set of Straight Outta Compton. Same record label that Tupac, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg and MC Hammer were once a part of. Suge Knight is also the scumbag who supposedly held Vanilla Ice off a balcony till he agreed to hand over the rights to Ice Ice Baby although Ice denies it happened.

So long as it comes with all the possible parts to satisfy all the possible pronouns, I'll try to keep it together.

They should just go back to selling the parts and making you provide the potato

Jay Leno had the best (politically incorrect I guess) joke about Mr. Potato Head. He said a starving kid in a 3rd world country would see a Mr. Potato Head and say "Kimba eat potato!". Reply: "No Kimba, you can't eat it. You stick little plastic body parts on it and play with it".

Not an etymology expert here, but I believe "ho" is derived from "*****", which Merriam-Webster suggests is mostly gender neutral even back to its Old English/Norse origins, though we'll have to account for the heaps of microaggressions, microinsults, and microinvalidations that have invariably shaped our present patriarchal linguistics. Hos plural, however, triggers me because it looks too much like "his", so I think we'll have to stick to the singular. Also "***** *** ho" would be frowned upon, even in singular, though "stank *** ho" is more open to interpretation

On the contrary my good fellow, the root of "ho" is "nympho".

I certainly remember growing up wondering why Mr Potato head didn't have a giant dick attachment.**

If you didn't agree with this, you would not be shaming others with an 'I don't care' message.

Fight for what you believe, minimize and shame the opponent's viewpoints. That's right out of the Weimar handbook, bro. The only reason why this **** continues to happen is because people DON'T CARE. When people truly start caring, then it won't be a very good situation, seeing how this country is 50/50 split at the moment. The riots in the streets all summer and at the Capitol were only the beginning.

So yeah, you're entire premise is flawed.

Exactly! Im not offended by the change, but if this is done in the name of "inclusivity" then its sort of annoyingly stupid.

Mr. Mandingo Head would probably sell well to soccer moms. You're a genius Beardo.
