They haven’t cancelled Mr. Potato Head. They have made the decision to recognize that he never had cojones, even when he was a real potato, so indicating a gender is neither necessary nor profitable.

Shouldn’t Mr. Pea Brain be ORANGE?

let them be distracted by trivial issues. Then we can actually make some progress.

When 70% of the American public demands action on an issue Republicans make sure it never happens. THAT’S cancel culture.

Why are some people obsessing about the genitalia of a plastic potato?? First world problem – NOT!!

I salute the marketing folks at Hasbro for reminding people that Potatoes are people too.

And in tomorrow’s news …Marjorie Taylor Greene discovers Ken dolls have no genitalia, decries Barbie dating trans male (“what message does this send to our children?”) and demand he be pulled from the market ("why can’t she date a real man like G.I. Joe … wait, whaaaa?).

Cancel culture in the pot, 9 days old.

I think if Hasbro would replace Mr. Potato Head with Mr. Kale Head, everything would be all right.

Small minds

Political correctness to the enth degree….disgusting.Did some twit get hurt feelings?

Hasbro has stated that other than dropping the “Mr.” and “Mrs.” prefixes, nothing at all has changed. Not one thing altered, removed, or added. Could this be… nothing more than yet another con-servative distraction? Oh no, never (cough, cough, cough…)! Couldn’t be! Egads, Noooooooo! (cough, cough, cough…) Pay no attention to those little old, extremely wealthy, extremely wacko, extremely white men behind the curtain. Nothing to see there.

Seuss and Hasbro have dominated the right(eous) for a few days now. Critical thinking is proven, again, to be something they avoid.

A whole lot of nothing

Standard Diversion 101 — unimaginative, in fact just stupid.

Hasbro should have just said they were going to put all the eyes, ears, etc. in one box and change the name to “Potato Head” and nothing about ending anything. They had a “New Coke” moment. And now with a bunch of free publicity they will probably realize an uptick in sales.

That’s okay, we’re not a first world country.

I see poor old (M)BS is upset that his side is exposed yet once again for their narrowmindedness.

Mr Potato Head has not been cancelled.

“First they came for the plastic toy potatoes and I did not speak out- because nobody is coming for the plastic toy potatoes……”

As a kid we had a Mr and Mrs potatoes head the body was the same and you could put the parts on one set onto the other. So what is the big deal?

Dr Suess. The Muppet Show. Mr Potato Head.

The only peabrains in the room are the insane social engineers who see racism and gender issues in EVERYTHING.

Wait until they find out that Ken has a gender identification problem

I think some people need to take a remedial reading comprehension class. Mr and Mrs Potato are still out there doing their potato thing it is just the brand that is being updated to Potato Head. The classic couple is starting a family!! Here is the scoop straight from the Potato itself.https://corporate.hasbro.com/en-us/articles/create_your_potato_head_family_launching_this_fall

No respect, I’ll tell you… -Rodney Dangerfield.

The Potato Head product never had a piece that actually indicated gender nor was there a hole for it to be inserted.
