How ironic.

In New Zealand there’s a movement to ban killer cats.

Same time, Monopoly game owner Hasbro opts to replace the classic iron token … with a cat.

WHAT ????

Is nothing sacred?

This move hits home since I peddled irons for GE and Black & Decker.

Gotta love your product, right?

And, as reported in prior posts, I don’t have particularly strong affection for cats.

Hasbro is hiding behind the old “America has voted” line.

Doesn’t soften the blow to know that cat lovers banded together to jam  a feline down our throats.

I may never play Monopoly again ….

How many “active”  Monopoly tokens are there? Can you name them?

Can you believe that the iron lost to the thimble?
