In fairness, #TonyTheTiger has long felt typecast in the role. He took the gig straight out of drama school, not realising it would be the only thing people knew him for. He’s desperate to be taken seriously as a theatre tragedian. His friends call him Anthony the Tiger

First they came for Tommy Robinson, and I said nothing because Tommy Robinson is a prick and deliberately broke the law to get attention. Then they came for Tony the Tiger and frankly I was fucking confused with their plan.

Banning Tony the Tiger et al is the wrong way of looking at the issue. The challenge is surely to give healthy food a cooler mascot. Promote fresh veg using Elvis The Pterodactyl. He has laser eyes and fire for hands.

Here’s how it works:
1. Prison Paul loses his shit because someone says they might ban Tony the Tiger
2. Literally everyone points & laughs
3. Prison Paul thinks he’s triggered everyone into being offended, and thus has won again
4. Prison Paul necks a couple of Brain Force Plus— heartbeeps (@hrtbps) May 30, 2018
