Author	Topic: The British Hate Mr. Potato Head
Zach KingPin of the Monkey Farm	posted 08-20-2001 10:20 PM OK, let me get this straight . . . British town spurns 'Mr. Potato Head' gift Pawtucket Rhode Island felt the need to send their sister city in England a very large version of Mr. Potato Head to display in their town. Now please don't ask me why their was a sister city situation in the first place. That concept confuses me. Anyway, the town of Belper couldn't stand it and removed the seven foot tall gift and Pawtucket RI is a bit pissed. Come on, did they think they were giving them the Statue of Liberty or something?

It sounds like they needed some positive attitudes in that town. Maybe not a Potato Head though. It's sort of insulting really. as usual ------------------ "Ignorance is not so bliss when you are on the receiving end."
