On occasions all too rare in Australia, on occasions all too infrequent (which means “all too rare”), one man (or a woman, if you insist) will rise above the seething mass of anonymous humanity, will rise above the tide of the ordinary and the average and, with a few wise and well-chosen words, strike at the very root of complacency that lies within the hearts and souls of us all to awaken the otherwise dull minions of humankind to the presence of darkest evil lurking in our midst.
Today, such a man is Sam Watson, deputy director of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit at the University of Queensland.
Mr. Watson implores us all to realise …
THIS BISCUIT WILL GAS YOUR BABY.
This biscuit will rape your mother, sodomise your wife, gouge the eyes from the nodding head of your old, gray papa and inject the veins of your first born with a mixture of dishwashing liquid and food dye.
This is one evil motherfucking biscuit.
It will skin your dog, flay your cat, and throw your goldfish into the compost heap.
This is the biscuit that other biscuits fear to share a tin with.
It will blow up bridges, drain harbours, bring down tall buildings and kill off the stock exchange with one bite.
This is the Bernie Madoff of biscuit bastardry.
This biscuit will invade Poland.
At the peak of its deranged megalomania, this biscuit will imagine it’s a full size Weston’s Wagon Wheel and roll into Russia.
Who will stop this biscuit?
Who will stand with Mr. Watson and, in trenches dug deep, fight alongside this brave and outspoken warrior for justice in his fearless quest to bring about an end to the evils of Biscuitism once and for all?
…
…
We did think of asking the ANZACS, but they crumbled. As usual.
Fucking losers.

So the aboriginal guy has issues with race, what a shock. Why not call out this bullshit from Coles though:
>But Mr Cooper today disputed the racist claims and said the name Creole Creams referred to the “well-known Creole cuisine style that originated in the US”.
>”The biscuits in question were named in reference to the well-known Creole cuisine style that originated in the US. It was certainly not intended as a racial reference, nor intended to cause offence,” Mr Cooper said this morning.
I’m sorry but your mixed vanilla and chocolate biscuit has fuck all to do with Cajun food.

I would suggest most mass-produced biscuits not only have fuck all to do with Cajun food, but have fuck all to do with “food”, period.

Very funny, biscuit boy, but what about the Afghan biscuit? Or is that just a kiwi thing?

I’d suggest that the marketing muppet at Coles squeezed his or her brain for a word that started with the same sound as “cream” and came up with “Creole”, blissfully unaware as to its meaning let alone racial undertones.

There’s a cafe round the corner from me does a Mulatto Melt – Eggplant and cheese on lightly toasted rye.
I’m making that up.
As for the Afghan biscuit Stace, it’s a dry variety. A dry variety of cracker.

I think it has cornflakes in it, disguised with a walnut on top of a dollop of concealed icing. Sort of like an IED perhaps. Whatever, they’re kinda swarthy and certainly, not to be trusted.

Creole also looks like Oreol so it gives that association with the buy.
I personally understand where Mr Watson is coming from. As someone with Maltese parents you don’t the know pain we have gone through because of those equally racist Maltesers.
These chocalate balls of grief imply that all Maltese are dark, round and crumble on the inside. And while perhaps I do much to perpetuate that stereotype I do demand that Mars change the name immediately.

What we really need to be concerned about is the number of shithouse homebrand knock-off biscuits there are doing the rounds. I think Coles picked the name so the general crappiness of their product might go unnoticed.

I managed to buy a packet of these Creole biscuits before they were withdrawn. I’m currently eating them with a slice of Coon on top.

No, but they are ‘teasers’ made with ‘malt’.
Why didn’t you guys attack stupid marketing that comes up with retarded names like ‘creole’ rather than someone who is sensitive to racism… because they’ve suffered from it?

Fruit pillows are heterophobic. I don’t personally have a problem with this, but I think it’s worth acknowledging.

Scotch Finger Biscuits is a slur on the sexual habits and preferences of Scottish people, and Kraft Easy Mac implies that Scottish women are whores.

The word “sandwich” has sexual connotations that could prove upsetting to impressionable young children and sexualise them.
I demand that this item of food be renamed “Bread Fasteners”.

My local bakery continues to display buns. I don’t know their gender or if they are in fact intersex but surely Kevin Rudd should demand they remain covered.

@DAvid Bonnici – You think scotch fingers are bad – I had some chocolate fingers and couldn’t pick my nose for a week.
