Load of shite

In light of these developments, I will no longer use Birds custard until they come up with a more neutral name for it.

The change comes as one customer questioned the firm after her four-year-old son asked if "girls, boys and mummies" can use them.

 

Hi @Kleenex_UK. My 4yo son asked me what was written here. Then he asked, why are they called mansize? Can girls, boys & mummies use them? I said: I don’t know & yes of course. He suggests you should call them “very large tissues”. It is 2018 pic.twitter.com/SeOg32RsDV

Basically, some company has decided to give one of its brands a refresh  (as companies do) and they've dressed it up in a way that will achieve maximum publicity at minimum cost.

Not sure it's maximum publicity. I reckon they'd have got more publicity if they'd renamed them Kleenex Spunkrags.

I know the names of 5000 footballers and minor celebrities but learning a few pronouns to be respectful to struggling people is too hard.

Hmmm....

Family packs of biscuits are surely discriminatory too, what if someone doesn't have a family?

 

Reminds me of a mad thing my dad used to do: when his mum died, he was well into his 60s, but he took it as an opportunity to tell everyone he was now an orphan.

Fuck sake

Some Indian American started bitching about the character Apu in the Simpson's and was trying to get fox to fund his documentary over it. So Apu has been written out the show. I know the Simpson's been average for years but Apu was great

No frigging way! I can't believe they've done that, last I heard Hank Azaria was willing to stand aside for an Indian actor to take over voicing the role, I can't believe they've gone that far!

 

I don't like to use the phrase political correctness gone mad, but it is a bit ridiculous!

The Simpsons should have been written out of the Simpsons about ten years ago.

Will Rowntree’s hold their nerve.

That's not really it.

 

An Indian American made a documentaryabout the obvious fact that although everyone  (including the documentary maker himself) loves Apu, there's no getting away from the obvious fact that he is a racial stereotype of the sort that was acceptable in the 80s.

 

More to the point, kids are getting bullied and Hank Azaria isn't happy about it.
