Now it's really getting ridiculous. From the story:

>Mr. Potato Head has gone gender neutral as toy maker Hasbro announced it is changing the name of the 70-year-old toy because it needs to break from gender norms.Hasbro, the company that makes the potato-shaped plastic toy, revealed Thursday it is giving the iconic spud the gender-neutral new name of Potato Head. The Mrs. pronoun will also be dropped from the toy's spouse Mrs. Potato Head.

>Hasbro Senior Vice President Kimberly Boyd said the toy's current gender identities were 'limiting' to children and were in need of a modern makeover. The rebranded toy will hit shelves sometime later this year.

Actually, Facebook tried to censor the word "faggot" even when it was used in non-sexual terms. Facebook threatened to close a Black Country group's page after members discussed the classic local British delicacy faggots and peas. Faggots in that context are meatballs made from pork and tripe. After an outcry, Facebook backed off.
