Leftists, illiberals, Dems and their mainstream media co-conspirators are doing their collective best to try and redefine the "cancel culture" as some Republican or conservative psychosis. You know better. And deep down, so do they because members of their ranks are breaking away decrying the cancel culture and warning that one day it will come for each of them.
When toymaker Hasbro caved to the culture, likely from within, and determined Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head would be reintroduced as "Potato Head" - a gender neutral toy - an uproar ensued.
In an update on the story, Hasbro got so roasted over its decision it sent out a follow-up release stating that the introduction of "Potato Head does not mean Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head are no more." Whatever. I've heard those kind of statements before. It further illustrates how wishy-washy the toy titan is and I took no chances. I knew I had minutes to spring into action.
I mean unless you routinely go to Sonic for a fast meal what could become of Tots without the venerable Mr. and Mrs.?
So before the buyout was complete and Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head were no more in the retail space, without paying ransom, I scored a happy couple...brand new and now, safely, stowed in my studio with a security force of SEALS who have likely been deemed too violent. Their days are probably numbered, too.
Since Mr. and Mrs. returned to prominence in the Toy Story movie series I figured I would paraphrase from ol' Buzz Lightyear and conclude by saying that I have done my part. This couple is safe from the cancel culture and will forever remain - "In perpetuity and beyond!"
