Kleenex to scrap 'Mansize' tissues

[Imploding Turtle]

I’m not bothered they were called man sized and I’m equally not bothered that they are changing the name. It’s just you getting flustered over the name of a tissue.

Don't be so mean to him. His tissues are the only intimacy he gets.

Wales is offensive to Whales. Name change coming soon.

Wales is also offensive to any right thinking human being.

Edit: oh, you meant... oh.

Glad to see the left continue to fight the battles that really matter.

I don't recall this one coming up at the weekly meeting. Maybe they just decided it on their own. Or maybe someone wrote to them and they thought for themselves that it would be a good idea.

[Imploding Turtle]

Kleenex don't care about being right or wrong on gender issues.

They've just changed the name to protect their brand and maximise sales.

Anyone on here getting upset either way needs to chill out and get a grip.

This is the whole point of companies being "PC". It makes no sense for them to exclude anyone because all they're doing is limiting their potential customer base.
If the racist, sexist, bigoted brigade ever became such a significant customer base that appealing to them would make more fiscal sense then these companies will be right back to marketing towards them again.

Just recently booked some panto tickets for Dick Whittington; I hate to think what that might be renamed by the time December comes round.

Probably Dick Whittington.

Another thread destroyed by TIT. 4 or 5 consecutive posts of drivel. Well done lad - if you are one.

Got the total wrong end of the stick their IT . The corporate world HAS to be seen to be Uber PC so as not to damage the brand . Can you imagine if the owners of the Kleenex brand said “ feck off you hysterical feminazis it’s simply their given name “ ( even cheapo sh1t tissues were known as mansize simply based of the flat boxes) and were not changing end of” Twitter mobs and liberals would utterly roast them alive and end up forcing the issue with v v bad publicity . As it is they get a great bit of publicity and debate and the corporate suits sleep tight

[FactualFrank]

What are they going to rebranded as.. 'Free internet porn size'?

Literally the point I just made. It's a fiscal decision.

You'd best ask Impliding Turtle if they are suitable for that use.

You can't even call a Muslim a Paki without getting in trouble these days. This country has gone to the dogs. But not literal dogs, metaphorical dogs because they've locked up all the dogs because they are unsafe.

Good to see the right getting worked up over something so trivial. It distracts them from waging war on Muslims.

the number of deaths in the UK from each respective group suggest one is at war with the other, yes, but I think you are getting mixed up as to which way around.

You know these days if you say you're English you'll be arrested and thrown in jail.

As long as you don't include the Iraq and Afghanistan wars then yes, it's true that one group kills more than the other group.

Also, if you exclude all the temperature data that shows the planet is warming then you can clearly see that the planet is actually cooling.

This is nice. That's climate change dealt with. What else can we apply this unimpeachable logic to?

I bet more murders are committed by white British in the UK than by Muslims.

I challenge you to prove me wrong.

Don’t joke, I’ve spent the afternoon down the nick after saying hello to a woman!

Exactly as the liberals and the EU want. Good, good! I hope you've learned your lesson you misogynist pig.

[kentonclaret]

The world's most fiercest predators are described as Man Eaters.

Is that not sexist?

This board is beyond parody at times

Reflects the times that we are living in Brexit et all.

No, we can still parody your lot quite easily. The trouble for you is that you can't tell when you're being parodied.

[Hipper]

How exactly did you indentify the person as a woman?

I think you will be doing more time soon as well as having some re-education.

Who decides the new name for Manchester ?

The thin streaky bloke with a beard, glasses, sandals and baggy pants along with the overweight, ugly, brusque woman with cropped hair .

You did indeed ,apologies

Notice there have been no objections to manhole covers.

Manhole covers are now often referred to as "raised ironworks"
