Default Blasphemy!

Monopoly is replacing the pieces with "modern" versions. They've
selected a freakin' LABRADOODLE to replace the Scottie!

Eww! Considering how variable they are, how are folks to know it's
a "Labradoodle"?

By the labeling, silly! If they say it's a Labradoodle, it must be a
Labradoodle. At least this one is guaranteed non-shedding!

They are actually keeping the "classic" version as well thank
goodness! I have a few "special editions", but won't be buying this
new one!

I wrote them! I urged them to replace the Labradoodle with a generic
shelter dog (or at least label the "Labradoodle" as a shelter dog?).

Just lovely!

And I just found out that AKC has entered into some sort of deal with
Petland, having Petland register all their dogs with them to increase their
(AKC's) revenue stream. The day just keeps getting better.
