cjsdowg 10/25/17 8:21:56 PM #1:	A Marvel Comics Author thinks so. What Say you CE? Kellogg's will be redesigning Corn Pops cereal boxes after a complaint about racially insensitive art on the packaging. The Battle Creek, Mich.-based cereal and snack maker said on Twitter Wednesday it will replace the cover drawing of cartoon characters shaped like corn kernels populating a shopping mall. The corn pop characters are shown shopping, playing in an arcade or frolicked in a fountain. One skateboards down an escalator. What struck Saladin Ahmed was that a single brown corn pop was working as a janitor operating a floor waxer. Ahmed, current writer of Marvel Comics' Black Bolt series and author of 2012 fantasy novel Throne of the Crescent Moon, took to Twitter Tuesday to ask, "Why is literally the only brown corn pop on the whole cereal box the janitor? this is teaching kids racism." https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2017/10/25/kelloggs-replace-racially-insensitive-corn-pops-boxes-following-twitter-rant/797911001/ --- I guess the Brown guy does kind of just POP out at you. --- Bender: Well, everybody, I just saved a turtle.
