Coon Cheese has been a part of the Australian food experience for years. It has never been used in a negative connotation. On the contrary, Coon Cheese was not named after the slang that originated in America - Not Australia where it was created, and defended for many years. It was actually named after the creator of a fast and easier creation process for cheese - a gentleman by the name of Edward Coon.
So now judges are ruling that this is a derogatory remark, and it should be changed. Are they saying that everyone who has a name that may be considered derogatory should have their name changed too?
And who is going to pay the millions of dollars that it is going to cost to rebrand a company that is no longer allowed to use their own name? And what will happen when those 'precious' people that can't leave well enough alone can't get their favorite cheese? Will they finally realize what wankers they really have been, and get a life?
I doubt it. Pigs will surely fly before then. That is if someone isn't offended that pigs are actually flying and threatens to sue them for misrepresentation.
Get a life people. Stomp on those precious or delicate little feelings that you have and realize that life wouldn't be nearly as interesting without all the little things that annoy you. Hell, I wouldn't have near as much fun if I didn't have stupid people to pick on every day.
Enough said.
