Mr. Potato Head is Dead

Hasbro is killing Mr. Potato Head because of gender issues. The toy will now be called "Potato Head."

This insanity is creeping into beloved toys!

The term "Mr." should not be deemed a problem.

No matter what a child considers his/hers/its/etc. gender, Mr. Potato Head can still be Mr. Potato Head.

I suppose Mr. Rogers should no longer be called Mr. Rogers.

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

This is interesting. Hasbro doesn't seem to mind human rights abuses in its factories, but good on them for making Mr. Potato Head gender neutral.

Here’s an article on it for those of you interested https://t.co/Fk0E99B5AM
