Pork Chops & Apple Sauce


Formerly Pork Chop, the mascot's new name is Ferrous

To make a long story short, this is one more example of our society bowing to political correctness. A 5yo girl for crying out loud chose the name of the mascot and had no intention of offending anyone. A few complained and they gave in. The mascot is a pig, not a Latino. I searched google images for pork chops and guess what? NOT ONE Hispanic or Latino showed up in the search! Next thing you know, they will want the name of the cut of meat changed as well. It's all in the context as this gentleman points out Context of mascot's name made it inoffensive. Buck up people and quit crying every time something doesn't make you happy. By the way, after this post I'm writing a letter to Nabisco to have the word cracker taken off of their saltine packages. It just makes me sick each time I reach for that box. ;)
