Al’s reaction here reminds me of people who get mad at other people for being vegetarian. I mean, you don’t have to buy one, but why bother getting upset about it?
The problem with not reading past the headline. There will still be a Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head. They are expanding the line and Potato Head is the generic term for the line. BTW, from childhood memories, the Potato Heads were transgender more often than not, depending on which lips, eyes etc you could find. ;)
I guess in Al’s universe, this is an issue. In the real world, not so much. In my younger days, you didn’t even get a potato to go with the parts, so any fruit or vegetable could work, but most weren’t as durable as a potato.
Two issues can make Republicans foam at the mouth: the existence of non-binary sexual identities, and family planning. Were it not so poisonous, it would be very, very funny to watch.
Bet Al’s had to throw out several destroyed TV’s after seeing commercials about HIV vaccines, Gay couples enjoying food while watching TV, seeing multi-racial families driving down the road commenting on their new car, etc.
CPAC is going on complete with a golden Trump(think calf) statue and mind numbingly stupid conspiracy theories about the election, support for the mob that attacked our government, open dismissal of Covid precautions, and full embracement of the idiocy called Q and all you can effing worry about is a stupid child’s toy.
Potato heads were originally made of styrofoam. This way, you were not told where to put the eyes, nose, mouth….you could make some really strange alien creatures.
Creativity doesn’t sell these days. Toys must tell you how to use them, or play tricks for you.
Back to the original Mr. Potato Head of the early 1950s, which required you to supply your own potato… surprised this conservative is upset about turning back the clock like that…
Obviously no Republican politician or voter has ever had a gender conflicted relative and if they did, then that conflicted kiddy was undoubtedly told to ‘just get over it’. It’s only ‘woke’ left leaning kiddies who have these problems and the right simply cannot bring itself to mustering up some empathy. Shame on you.

First world problem – NOT!! I wonder what Al-Boi will have to say when the 04 MAR “insurrection” will not happen??

Goodwyn is so weird about this stuff. Someone needs to tell him that it’s not the 1950’s any more. And we’re all thankful for it.

Can anyone describe an issue that is more of a non-issue than this??

Al has mastered the self-portrait. And just like Van Gogh, he has lost an ear.

Al can purchase official Potato Head genitalia (sold separately), and assign (or change) sex as he sees fit. Capitalism, meet personal freedom.

Should we change Mr Foodwyn’s name to “Mr. PotatoHead?”

The Mr and Mrs potato heads have interchangeable parts. What point is he trying to make?

Don’t look at Jan 6th. Look over here at transgender issues. Don’t look at insurrection. Look at cultural made up issues.

It’s capitalism, Al. It’s a business decision. They think it will sell, that’s all. I thought Republicans approved of capitalism?
They also aren’t discontinuing Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, they’re just coming out with a third, separate product.
And you’re obviously a snowflake, looking for an excuse to be offended.

Oh, and Al….you could try being a little more Al and a lot less potato.

Fact is, in the original Mr. Potatohead, you supplied your own potato. The kit just contained all the body parts, hats, etc.
