I used to do a bit of equal ops training many years ago...When did we stop recognising and accepting difference?...or does that only count if skin colours are involved these days?

I'm convinced drugs were put in our water in the 90's.

I'm convinced drugs were put in our water in the 90's.

I'm convinced marketing department realised around 3 years ago that they can get loads of free publicity by doing shit like this.

Which is a step up from about ten years ago when the tactic was to say something a bit racist, and 15 years ago when the tactic was to 'leak' a sex tape. And no-one wants to see a Mr. Potato Head sex tape.

Surely the correct practice would be to create more versions of said Potato Head to represent the different groups?

Am I getting all this wrong..........
