NEW YORK - 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.

Toy makers have been updating their classic brands to appeal to kids today. Barbie has shed its blonde image and now comes in multiple skin tones and body shapes. Thomas the Tank Engine added more girl characters. And American Girl is now selling a boy doll. Hasbro said Mr. Potato Head, which has been around for about 70 years, needed a modern makeover.

Wait, isn't there a Mrs. Potato Head though? Why the hell would that need to be changed when it's already inclusive of both genders??

Or is that the problem, that it's assuming his gender?

This world is fricking stupid.

Are they including a penis that can pop on and off? You know, just in case Potato Head is feeling gender fluid?

He's a potato. He was always gender neutral. There was no difference between Mr and Mrs Potato head.

Wouldn’t those be different characters than Barbie then?

Or is Ken also Barbie?

You can buy a Mrs. Potato Head too. So what's the problem?

Should we rename the boy scouts and girl scouts too? Get rid of any gender in the names.

Can't begin to describe what an enormous relief this is to hear. Making a toy potato gender neutral was at the top of list of problems in this country.

So is Mrs. Potato Head now out of a job or did the millennials at Hasbro forget they had her in their product lineup?
