Hasbro toys – Lee Duigon

Have I got insight? Back in 2016, five years ago, I wrote a sprightly little satire about Mr. Potato Head being banned by presidential executive order–for reinforcing Hate against “gay families” (a total oxymoron) and trannies.

And this year Hasbro, the company that sells the toy, announced it was dropping the “Mr.” so children could create Potato Head families with “two dads.” See “Canceling Mr. Potato Head,” March 2, 2021.

Exec Order Bans… Mr. Potato-Head

Actually, it’s not much fun being right about schiff like this. Even silly little toys can’t escape having abominations heaped on them, these days. Our popular culture is very much in the abomination business.

Although I do like to think that canceling Mr. Potato Head just might possibly maybe could wind up canceling the cancel culture itself.

Good grief, it’s 4:00 already! How did that happen?

Blogged, went grocery shopping, blogged some more, cranked out a Newwithviews column–that’s how. And now I’m feelin’ it.

There really are too many stories for me to cover. The other day “Unknowable” suggested I visit the Wikipedia article about the Hasbro toy company, to see how deeply Political Correctness has debauched our culture. I did; and the thing that stood out was the storm of protest that greeted Hasbro’s “Star Wars Monopoly” game. A lot of people went on the warpath because there weren’t enough female characters in the game. Oops. Was I allowed to say that?

Hey! If that’s what’s important in your life, you need a new life.

But then just about every game or toy they come out with winds up with somebody, somewhere, protesting it. Like these dips just live for something to complain about.

Our popular culture wearies me, sometimes.
