  1. As a kid I used to use a razor blade and cut the butter she was holding in a u-shape and fold the top up so it became a flap. I would then cut her knees off from the other side and and tape it behind the flap. Insta-boob.

  2. The nutters of the Left have to “save” the American Indians by disappearing them.

    BTW, if you never read it, what are you waiting for?

  3. Hmmmm….

    “Land O’ Crazy Muslims” probably wasn’t marketing very well.

    Whatever. Not like Injuns and butter have a long and storied history together.

    Personally I’d buy “KAISERS OWN” if they made that brand of butter.

    What’s your favorite imaginary ethnic butter?

  4. My best friend’s brother is Ojiwe.

    Every time My best friend and his wife (American Pennsylvania) visit the states he asks his brother to bring back “Land O Lakes Butter”

    He is a very Leftie type person but even he sees nothing wrong with the image OR the product.

    He Even Likes the Chicago Blackhawkes Logo. I love wearing the Jersey out in LEFTIE TORONTO where it pisses OFF the General Faggotry but as usual, No One Says Shit!

    When I want to Piss off Maple Leaf Fans I Wear a BOSTON BRUIN JERSEY.

  6. this author is trying to have his ‘butter’ & eat it too … he makes a living berating everyone about stereotypes, then defends dear old mom when she created what is considered today a stereotype … which was why all those harpies were caterwauling about to remove it … he helped to create this PC mess, ffs

    oh, & ‘any Red Lake Ojibway can clearly see this is Red Lake’ (paraphrasing)… oh please!
    & mommy clearly created a white squaw …. w/ a lovely bunch of coconuts

    where’s that crying Italian Indian when you need him?
