Have A Very Politically Correct Christmas, Gingerbread Men Now Under Attack
In our world where everything is offensive to the snowflakes, we’ve now encountered our second change to the Christmas season this year.
First, after last year’s attack on the Christmas classic, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”, John Legend and Kelly Clarkson have decided to make a new version of the song which doesn’t contain what they’re suggesting is essentially date rape.
Now they’re going after gingerbread men. A cafe in New Zealand is no longer offering gingerbread men. Instead, they are offering a gender-neutral gingerbread “person” so as to not offend a small minority of snowflakes who are upset if there are too many white clouds in the sky citing them as racist.
According to the New York Post,
The Tannery cafe in New Zealand has taken the sex out of gingerbread men, instead offering customers the redundantly titled “GingerBread Gender Neutral Person” cookies this holiday season.
The Auckland, New Zealand, eatery is peddling their P.C. Christmas biscuits for $2.50.
Andre Cettina, owner of the Tannery, told Stuff that the more “inclusive” option was inspired by a customer who asked why the vaguely human-shaped treats weren’t called “gingerbread people”?
Cettina says he decided to make the switch in October as a joke — but it has yielded a positive reaction.
“It was completely tongue-in-cheek at the start,” he said. “But it’s become a really good conversation piece in the cafe.”

Who knew gingerbread men had genitals in the first place? I guess I’ve never had a real gingerbread man, because I’ve never seen a p***s on my cookies. Oh wait, I forgot. You no longer have to have one of those to be considered a man nowadays. As long as you think that you’re a man, and believe it in you’re heart, you too can be a real live boy! (That’s sarcasm, folks!)
