Seriously? Mr. Potato Head License Plates Now a Crime Against Rhode Island?
Are you KIDDING me?! Apparently, our elected officials have nothing better to do than fret over…Mr. Potato Head license plates. Because Hasbro decided to relocate its headquarters – gasp! – to Boston, two lawmakers are now proposing we revoke the honor of displaying a smiling spud on our vehicles. Honestly, I cant make this up.
It’s just peak ridiculousness, isn’t it? As if a few novelty plates suddenly represent a catastrophic loss for the state. Did they even think about all the other things that might contribute to Rhode Island’s economy? Like, maybe focusing on infrastructure or…I dont know…anything useful?
Instead, we get this petty symbolic gesture. Apparently, showing affection for a beloved toy is now an act of treason against economic development. I bet theyll be proposing legislation banning clam chowder next if someone from out-of-state opens a restaurant.
This isn’t about Hasbro; it’s about finding something, anything, to complain about. Its the performative outrage we’ve come to expect from politicians desperate for attention. Let people enjoy their silly license plates! Let them celebrate a toy company that once called Rhode Island home! For goodness sake, lets have some perspective – and maybe a little bit of common sense.
