How did this happen?

[RandomGirl42]

I often wonder about things that are prolly completely pointless but I wonder them anyway.

Todays question is about the old Land O' Lakes ,"butter maiden", now long since removed.:

" Land O'Lakes removed the Native American "butter maiden" from its packaging due to criticism that the logo was a racist and stereotypical representation of Native Americans."

However , another unpublicized reason they removed it was 'cuz someone figured out if you folded the box up so her knees were to her chest it looked like bewbs.

Now, this just begs the question, how the hell bored/desperate/high/whatever does someone have to be, to be sitting there staring at a box of butter and suddenly go, "Wow, her cartoon knees look just like bewbs! Now all I gotta do is fold this box up!"

And that , dear members of the G@G community, is Random's pointless question of the day! 😊

The internet is full of such useful information.

This question is worthy of @purplepoppy

It's most likely some Uber leftist white virgin who never saw boobs in his pathetic life and simultaneously got offended on behalf of a people he/she/it/they have never spoken to (and wouldn't) decided to both create and solve two problems that nobody with multiple functioning brain cells ever saw.

he/she/it/they probably discussed it with Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima first, then the Washington Redskins before making his/her/its/their normal out of touch unilateral decision...

Thanks for the MHO

I doubt any "protest" gathered at any reservation casino to complain, we feel insulted... offended. Nothing demeaning in the picture, of one lady, nobody said all wear leather not even a stereo type! Just one... and a stereo type that is not bad... cannot be an insult.

We in EU the the dutch Antje, a dutch girl in folk clothes and wooden boots, as depiction on diary products. The difference Holland has a lot of cattle is significant diary producer. Black white cows are called often Holland breed so I think Antje is okay and no one complains.
How close are native Americans connected with diary products, isn't my business but I don't think Pocahontas had a cow farm. So I think an native amercian Indian girl in submissive pose on butter is a little bit off.

Same as folding a uk bank note to see the queen's bum.

[RandomGirl42]

lol, I had no idea... but why would anyone want to?

I learned this trick with a dollar bill when I was very young... changing George Washington on a US one dollar bill into a mushroom.

[strateguy632]

Aah the symbolism!

There’s always somebody that’s going to make something look sexual that isn’t on a box but it gets me is why do they remove all these things when I never thought anything of it and now she’s gone Aunt Jemima is gone and Uncle Ben is gone , yet they were on these things for probably more than 50 years without any problems, now they’re trying to rename the Chiefs and the Red Sox

Commercial artists are always doing deviant things like that. The towers on the castle on the Walt Disney logo are penises. The bathroom lights on both sides of the medicine cabinet on the TV show King of Queens are dildos.

I wonder about a lot more than that. Think about all the videos that uploaded to youtube. Even the good ones. Why does so many people spend the time making them instead of doing something else? The market is saturated.

[strateguy632]

Because they want to get "many likes'.

[Lliam]

That's one I never heard of.
Imagine how hard up a guy would have to be to get off on that. LOL

@RandomGirl42 US and its offensive issues while easy to commit genocide.

@RandomGirl42

also, aunt Jemima was removed from the Maple syrup, or should I say disappeared.

[RedInnocent69]

What did the syrup look like?

[Phoenix98]

I think people are far to worried about what other people think or might think.

You had to be a teenage boy in the 60's. Sexuality was seeping out of our pores. We knew those things.

[Flower7]

So you heard of this before?

[Sal_Monella]

@Flower7 sure. We all did.

[zagor]

Better yet, they were proud enough of their discovery to post it on the internet.

[guesswhereivebeen]

Because the new generation are a bunch of crybaby twats

[msc545]

This had to be a very bored/desperate/high/16-year-old boy.

[exitseven]

I was shown this neat little trick many years ago. After all, butter is a dairy product.

[Anonymous]

I see nothing unusual.
