[Flanagun]

Mmmm yum. Colon cheese. Sounds like a cheese you could recycle after the first consumption.

Sustainability.....another reason for the conservatives to renounce it!

Why turn it into left v right? Us normal people can think it's fucking stupid to get triggered by some guys surname.

This world is turning to shit and people are crying over cheese?

Like many threads, I'm not here to cry about anything. But where there's potential for humour I'll be there with bells on derailing the thread if it's needed to promote laughter.

BTW, when i googled "fucking cheese", this came up (apologies for the late edit):

I am not the one turning it into left vs right..... it's those on both sides who have threatened to boycott it who are doing that. As I said in my previous post to wahesh, they just want to sell cheese. I think the outrage on both sides is crazy.

Yeah both sides are fucked.

PS I might buy a pack for the first time and keep it. Might be able to sell it years down the track to some KKK **** lol

So maybe Coon should have changed its name to Colon....

Eww. I just buy provolone instead of paying ridiculous prices for some shitty lactose free cheese lol.

If I were lactose intolerant, I'd happily pitch a tent in the toilet just so I could continue to enjoy cheese in all its varieties....lol.

Na, it's not worth it..

This is how it works mate. It's never enough. Nothing will ever be enough.

Give an inch, take a mile.

 

[off-tap-robbie]

I'm lactose intolerant and have to spend like $7 for 4 sandwiches worth of cheese ffs.

so you are going to act like cheer cheese is still called coon? how is that? imagination?

i think the normal move would be to relax and view it as cheer cheese from now on

for example they changed the name from telecom to telstra but now everybody i think is comfortable with the telstra name

Before telecom i think it was P.M.G.

Bloke Who Claims Everyone Is Too Soft Nowadays Hasn’t Slept For 3 Nights Over Cheese Rebrand

One of the town’s biggest defenders of personal freedoms has this week blown a fuse over the idea that a multinational dairy company might want to change their name.
This comes as the iconic Coon Cheese has been renamed Cheer Cheese, after decades of Australians pretending to ignore the rather obvious racist connotations associated with the word.
While in context, the outgoing brand was actually named after one of their products initial founders whose German surname was ‘Coon’ – as this slur wasn’t common place in Australia at that time.
This has outraged Betoota Grove boomer Paul Carne (61) who has taken a moment from being outraged by how outraged everyone gets these days to instead focus his outrage on this cheese company changing their name.
“You can’t do anything nowadays” says Paul, apparently not in reference to the cheese company who wanted to no longer be confused for a racial slur against black people.
“Everyone is so quick to get offended. They want to be offended.”
“This is has really pissed me off”
But it hasn’t just pissed Paul off, it’s actually done his head in.
He hasn’t slept a win in three nights, as he comes to term with the fact that the world he grew up in during the prosperous post-war economic boom can’t stay exactly the same forever.
“Why does everything have to change”
“Peoples feelings being hurt by seeing a word that gets yelled at them in the school yard as kids aren’t as important as my feelings being hurt by a couple letters being changed around in a cheese brand that I sometimes buy”
Paul has since vowed to no longer buy this specific brand of cheese, which will not really have much affect on the bottom line now that they are likely to attract quite a few more consumers after making the executive decision to no longer have a horrible racial slur plastered across all of their packaging.
The rebrand has began rolling out across supermarkets across the country, according to a press release from the company today.
“Our decision to change the name of Australia’s much-loved cheese reinforces this commitment to build a culture of acceptance, inclusion and respect where everyone feels a sense of belonging.” read the press release.
While the decision might appear to be a bit behind the times, the company is taking the opportunity to pat themselves on the back for doing the right thing by Indigenous community – many of whom pay four times as much as the rest of the nation to even buy this product in remote communities.

Haha, think I heard today on radio, that the fella behind the name change. Can’t remember name, didn’t thank company for changing name. He’s now suing for 2.1mil as it took so long. He also complained that the aboriginals weren’t involved in the new naming process. I guess they had a hand in inventing the cheese so should be part of the naming process....Some people are never happy..

Just a guess, but I'd think that the whole idea was to try to sue. And while I understand that many Aboriginals found the brand name offensive, I fail to see why they need to be involved in renaming it. As long as it's been rebranded to a non offensive name this should be counted as a win for anyone that was having sleepless nights over it.

Davy Crockett wore a Coon skin hat. Will that change?

Yes mate but mainly because it wasn’t vegan friendly. He should’ve worn a sustainable grown and carbon neutral lettuce leaf

That’s the thing, it was probably two indigenous people and twenty thousand wankers offended on behalf of those two. It’s pathetic
