I’m not sure if I can do strike-through in these comments but the following is ripe for it…
So please, for the sake of the children Jeff, let’s rename it Commie Re… I mean chestnut.
21. Indian Red
We’ve received feedback that some kids incorrectly believe this color name represents the skin color of Native Americans.
The fact is, indian red was never intended to represent anyone’s skin color. The name originated from a pigment, used by fine artists in oil paints, commonly found near India. But the fact that some people are confused is reason enough for us to rename the crayon.
This is only the third time in Crayola history that we’ve changed a crayon color name. In 1958, Prussian Blue was changed to Midnight Blue because teachers said students were no longer familiar with Prussian History. In 1962, Flesh was changed to Peach in recognition that everyone’s skin is not the same shade.
You forgot “CS” Red, the preferred shade of both female impersonators and transvestite hookers the world over, not to mention California female politicos.
I understand it was a favorite shade among White House Interns for years.
My popping facial blood vessels red, because I’m typing my tediously long contact info for the billionth time, coz Jeff’s molly-faggin’ cookies don’t work!
Aside from describing Nancy Pelosi, this is also a specific color, at least in my household. It is the shade of dusty pink we had blended for painting our sitting room, which has molded plaster floral trim.
Heh. Diaper rash red. Put a little zinc oxide on it, Jeff.
And wipe up that mustard.
I always thought Democratic leaders had a thing for cigars, in which case Nancy Pelosi might look good in a little Red Auerbach.
