FOG BLOG RIDICULOG: IRONY OF REMOVING ICONS FROM BRAND NAME CONSUMER PACKAGING!

IT FINALLY HAPPENED! THE MAN SERVING A BOWL OF CREAM OF WHEAT HAS BEEN REMOVED! I SAW A BOX OF CREAM OF WHEAT RECENLY AND THE LETTERING IS BIGGER AND THE MAN REMOVED. NOW IN ALL FAIRNESS HE WAS PROBABLY AN ICON ONLY . THE THING ABOUT THIS IS, IT PORTRAYED A TRUST AND RELIABILITY OF THE PRODUCT. PEOPLE OF ANY RACE CAN BE THAT WAY BUT USUALLY CHEFS AND COOKS ARE PEOPLE YOU CAN TRUST TO HAVE YOUR FOOD CONSISTENLY DONE RIGHT! THE ONLY REASON THAT ALL THE PEOPLE OF COLOUR HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM PACKAGING IS ALL THIS POLITICALLY CORRECT ATTITUDE WE HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH FOR THE PAST WHILE. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY, WALKING ON EGG SHELLS ETC. ALSO THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT AND THE KILLING OF BLACK PEOPLE BY POLICE. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE QUAKER MAN. TALK ABOUT STEREO TYPES. THE QUAKERS WERE KNOWN FOR THEIR CRAFTINESS AND CARPENTRY SKILLS ESPECIALLY THE MEN. I LIKE THE QUAKER MAN ON THE QUAKER BOXES GREAT LOGO, BUT HE'S WHITE, RIGHT! THAT IS WHY HE STAYS , KIND OF IRONIC WOULDN'T YOU SAY! EITHER YOU KEEP ALL STEREO TYPES OFF PACKAGING OR REMOVE ALL! NOW IT'S GOTTEN INTO SPORTS AND OTHER AREAS LIKE FIRING OF ICONIC NEWS ANCHORS FOR THIS 'WALKING ON EGG SHELLS ' APPROACH TO OUR LIFE THESE DAYS. LET'S ALL GET ON THE SAME PAGE WITH ALL OF THESE ISSUES, AFTER ALL WE ARE ALL HUMAN, NO ONE ABOVE THE OTHER!
