Help with Packaging
In the last few days
various companies have changed or announced plans to change the names of some
of their products in response to demands from Black Lives Matter and other
leftist groups. Clearly the products will need new names. In the spirit of going along and avoiding
divisiveness, I have some suggestions.
The first one is easy. Replace the picture of a black man on
Uncle Ben’s rice packages with one of
Stalin and call it Uncle Joe’s rice. Featuring one of their favorites in that way should earn the rice company all
sorts of praise from BLM, Antifa, and a good number of Democrats and media
people. Coming up with a replacement for
Aunt Jemima is a little harder, but I think Auntie Eva, in honor of Eva Braun
might work. She is not that well known
anymore, but she decidedly wasn’t a person of color, and she was the partner of
a famous vegan activist and advocate for strong vigorous government and the politics of direct physical action. That
could be a good sop to the Antifa crowd. For Eskimo Pie the company could replace the
picture of the Eskimo on the ice cream bar with one of a happy, re-educated inmate of the
Gulag and call it a Kolyma Freeze. Of course
they would have to check and make sure Ben and Jerry hadn’t trademarked the
name already.
The Disney company is also making some changes. They need something
to replace the Uncle Remus characters on
the splash mountain ride. I don’t have a good idea here. They could use
the characters from Animal Farm, cuted up and slanted properly, but I doubt that would really work. Somebody
might have read the book. Orwell is so problematic.
