Does This Mean No More Eskimo Pies??

Postby Boots » Mon Aug 24, 2020 1:03 am

Chalk this one up in the “your government tax dollars at work for you...”. The Poindexters at NASA have decided Eskimo is a banned word. I think they’ve spent too much time wearing tinfoil hats. And you can’t own a Siamese cat anymore, looks like that’s out too.

And Parts, don’t even think about sending in yer $10 to the “name a star” website to register for the “Cat Head Nebula”, NASA will cite the inference of cruelty to animals and send you to a re-education camp in Hoboken.

The world is going crazy.

Our biggest ice cream producer has an eskimo in their logo. Been like that for almost 100 years. Now they have to discard it due to some people don't like it.Image

Most folks respect their past. Some deny it. Those with respect roll with the flow. The others realize “the squeaky wheel gets the grease”. They are also destined to repeat the history they deny.

I'm surprised that the Washington Football team (Who's name shall go unmentioned in case the Politically Correct Police are watching) are allowed to keep their name.

Here in New Mexico, there "was" a statue of a hero (for what I'm not sure) that had been there for many many years.
Recently, a small group of Native Americans decided they wanted there 10 min. of fame and complained about him not being a hero for some reason or another.
And, you guessed it, the State pulled it down.

They have renamed The Washington Football Club. From what I read they retained rights to their original name as to keep anyone else from using it. Of course with all the shutdowns I’ve found so much better use of my time. I’m basically down to NHRA. No PC problems there. Under normal circumstances their field is 26% minority.

AMEN - - - safety is most important these days :tup:

However, now that you mentioned THE Eskimo, it brings to mind The Suckle Buster's Logo with the Longhorn Head on it :dont: :scratch:
Isn't that discrimination against the Pig, Fish and Chicken? :laughing7: :lol: :D According to Eskimo Pie's action, Gator should either remove the Cow or put the head of Every Animal that can be BBQ'd on it ? :whiteflag:
