"Bonkers decision to make gender neutral Mr Potato Head is rampant wokery"

As any fan of Toy Story knows, MISTER Potato Head is very attached to his title.

It’s what sets him apart from all the Johnny-come-latelys in Andy’s toy box and reflects his seniority.

Because kids have been viciously stabbing Mr PH him with little plastic hats and pipes since 1952.

And, when Mrs PH came along they got to smack her in the chops with a pair with red lips and pierce her skull with a blonde wig.

But, as far as I recall, Mr and Mrs PH were both devoid of stick on genitalia.

So, until you dressed them up they were actually gender neutral tubers.

And kids ALWAYS chose to break gender stereotypes by giving Mrs PH a moustache and putting Mr PH in her red stilettos.

But now, thanks to rampant wokery, makers Hasbro have decided these much loved characters need a mash up.

Their old identities are being peeled away because male and female vegetable toys “do not reflect modern families”.

Poor old Mr and Mrs PH must be rolling their eyes in horror.

Because the world has gone starch-raving bonkers.
