Colonial Brewing Co the latest company to suffer the wrath of cancel culture as one random non-indigenous bloke in Melbourne demands his local chain of Bottle Shops stop stocking it. Way to completely divert attention away from the real issues, brother. BTW their beers are fantastic and I encourage you all to drink them.

So we have Coon cheese trying to get renamed but it's the name of Edward William Coon who founded a specific ripening method of making Coon cheese.
So we have our second largest state, named Victoria after the Queen, trying to get renamed due to colonialism but we have a shitload of places named by Indigenous already e.g. Uluru (you know the giant fucking rock we're famous for), oh and our capital city "Canberra" is also an Indigenous name.
I suppose we'll be renaming Black Mountain too (called that because it's a mountain of black granite rock).
Coco Pops has a British MP going after their name vs Rice Kripsies, but the cacao tree from which cocoa beans and hence cocoa powder is derived is native to the Amazon Basin where there are monkeys.
WTF is going on? This is like we slipped into a parallel dimension where the Nazis have a base on the moon. I called a slippery slope for this shite but here we the fuck are. Stupidity at its finest. I said it in the other thread but Chess is looking worried placing black vs white. Light and Dark is next. Fuck I think we should rename the colour Black, it's too racist.

Bro the rules of Chess state that white goes first at the start of every match. Check your privilege.

For some reason Americans can’t do an Aussie accent.
It’s genuinely bizarre.

Nestle to change names of 'Red Skins' and 'Chicos' lollies
Nestle has announced it will change the names of its 'Red Skins' and 'Chicos' lollies.
The company, which makes the lollies under its Allen's brand, said the "names have overtones which are out of step with Nestle's values, which are rooted in respect".
Redskin has been used as a derogative term for Native Americans, while Chico has been used as a derogatory term for people of Latin-American descent.
"This decision acknowledges the need to ensure that nothing we do marginalises our friends, neighbours and colleagues," Nestle said in a statement on Tuesday.
A spokeswoman for the company said new names have not been finalised but rebranded packaging will likely take months to hit stores.
She said the two products are only sold in Australia and New Zealand and the decision to change the names was made locally.
She said she didn't know the background of why the Australian products had been given the particular names.
"The products are really old so we don't know the background," she said.
"This is just part of looking at where we want to be as a company and making sure we don't do and say things that marginalise people."
Packaging for the 'Red Skins' lollies previously featured a photo and cartoon of Native Americans, which were removed in the 1990s.
Nestle's decision follows an announcement last week by US company Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream that it would rename its Eskimo Pie product.

Red Skins should have been renamed decades ago.
Chico just means boy in Spanish, so it's not really that bad.

I have heard from a very good source that if you have dark features and a crapload of money you can own delta for a night or 2
this source was a drunk mark phillaposusous at crown casino after he dropped about 15k on the big wheel and we rescued him from dropping another 5k
when asked what he is currently stalking...a certain weather presenter that has a last name bun...or lots of bunz in his drunken state

Hes dumb as doghshit and has an aura of douche about him..he actually tried to put money in my friends mouth like a pokie machine...thats how smashed he was....crown security were happy to see him blow thousands of dollars but he literally could not stand up properly
so we helped him out pretending to be his friends as buddy of mine is a tennis nut
he kept going on about porking famous women and the incredible amount of sluts that he has on his phone to bang at anytime.....he passed out when we got into fresh air and we had to use his thumb to unlock his phone and we used google to navigate to home but it was obviously set to some overseas location so we had to trawl his messages and we found a recent message from his nanna so we called it and she sent a dude to come and pick him up...the back of his car was decked out in plastic sheets which he got thrown into so he was either a serial killer or its a common thing...no news reports on him being missing so he must of got home
Also most of his messages were girls telling him to fuck off...he also had a fair amount of messages with dick pics ...which most were not his or he spray tans his dick black
he also had a fuckload of money in his bank account as there was a widget on his phone with the bank balance......we should of made some withdrawals but judging by the balance he could of paid someone to make us all disappear
