Another Crazy Change, Utter Stupidity

[saintpeter48]

I bought 3 gingerbread men yesterday from Sainsburys for my 3 young grandsons, on checking the receipt they are marked down as 'gingerbread persons', you couldn't make it up, it's an insult to the intelligence of 99% of 'normal' thinking people!

[burlyshirley]

Totally agree.

[steg]

If thats what winds you up, I hope I’m not ‘normal’ whatever that’s meant to be

[Spicerack]

They might not even identify as persons.
I hope you gave them a darned good dunking. (and nibbled them slowly)

[misscherry]

It's just undoing men being the default for something, and why should men be the default?

[Spicerack]

Rest assured, steg, you're not normal.
The gingerbread men might not matter in the grand scheme of things but they could be the straw that breaks the camel's back, the spark that ignites a revolution. Etc. and so on.

[youngmafbog]

Dont buy them then, but from expensive lefty Sainsburys I'm not surprised.

By continuing to purchase such items you are, in effect, endorsing their action. At least thats the way they will see it if sales are unaffected.

[Spicerack]

Have you been on a course, by any chance, misscherry?

[douglas9401]

Strawberry blond bread persons, shurely.

Misscherry //It's just undoing men being the default for something,//
Why is that a problem? It has been thus from time immemorial.

[misscherry]

Would you say "why is that a problem" if the default from time immemorial had been women?

[douglas9401]

Run, run as fast as you can you can't catch me I'm the non gender-specific, lightly spiced confection without an agenda in a troubled world.

[Spicerack]

I'd rather be a ship than a gingerbread man.

Cheers spicy.. brawwww :)

Gingerbread persons want their willies back

[dannyk13]

Misscherry. No, if that had been the default it wouldn't matter to me. Some things are male and some things are female.Not everything can be neuter.

saintpeter.....

Stupidity is now the norm and one must adapt.....as I am endeavouring to do.

I've seen gingerbread ladies for sale in the Co-op. I was truly concerned for them. They had been made with dresses on, with pink icing I may add, and made to conform to their biological Sex. I nearly wrote a stiff letter to the CEO, I mean, pink is so last year!

[Peter Pedant]

yeah foo totally agree
at the church fete - some woke prelate
insisted that - confitured leddies of the night for sale !
replaced the existing sign - Jam tarts
well the stupid fellow got - for sale right - innit?

I wrote a strong letter to the Times about it

( thx to - the ever wandering hands of sqad of course and Mr Pooter of Diary of a Nobody who once wrote a strong letter to Bicycle News)

[calmck]

Snowperson next!!??

[Peter Pedant]

heavens I thought you going to say anatomically correct ginger bread leddies
Princess Ferge would throw a fit - or a pair of knickers

this thread is - - - going down and THAT is the wrong direction

[steg]

//Snow person next!!??//

Aye, as long as they’ve snow balls
