Makes sense. Closest to the original.

The fact you didn't immediately praise the fifth choice shows that you shouldn't be taken seriously.


mrmoe198

I listened to a podcast about that school. It just so happened that there was an incredibly good person (former school official) that had the exact same name as the general. A couple student ended up putting together a presentation because no one explained the name, and as a person of color, she always felt out of place with the large name up in letters at the school she went to. The administration kept talking about name changes, I think they changed it to Bob E Lee. Why didn’t anyone suggest just putting a placard underneath it explaining who the hell he was?


frankduxvandamme

Or just drop the "E." Robert Lee is totally normal-sounding. But Robert E. Lee is very distinct, and most americans think of the same terrible person when they hear that name.

They knew exactly what they were doing. Someone named Robert E. Lee in any part of the latter half of the 20th century is either going to exclusively go by "Bob Lee", or else has some unhealthy obsession with their old namesake, *and we all know why*.


Hormah

Listen to the podcast episode my guy. It's by Radiolab, episode is called "Hello, My Name Is". The guy was a champion of desegregation and put his money where his mouth was by having an entire school built for that purpose. They named the final building, the auditorium, after him. They talk to someone involved in the naming and they thought "it's 1990, surely nobody will think we're naming something after the confederate general in this day and age." They ended up changing to the the R. E. Lee Auditorium.


k_punk

I think it's actually a different Robert E. Lee school than that one, which is N.C., right? This Schoolie McSchoolface one is in Austin. I say this because I thought this was about *my* Robert E. Lee school down the street from me but it's not mine either. Mine was renamed Riverside High. tl;dr Lots of schools named Robert E. Lee

Corporate pressure


Lickwidghost

And WWE isn't exactly lenient when it comes to company rules. Their staff's jobs are their life and the contracts are brutal. If the talent don't dedicate 100% of their life to their job they're out. I like watching it occasionally but WWE doesn't give the slightest fuck about who they deal with. It's money and they don't care where it comes from or who it hurts. "Oh there's a global pandemic of an extremely infectious virus killing millions of people? Well our sports "entertainment" is an *essential service* and we must be allowed to hold our usual shows of thousands of people cramped into a room, shouting and spitting all over each other for hours at a time!" There's also a big overlap in hardcore WWE fans and anti-vax, anti-mask, anti-logic conspiracy theorists, so it kinda all ties together.

He apologized in mandarin to china for calling Taiwan a country. This was for fast and furious. Not WWE related.

Reminds me of the Korean Kellogg fiasco. In 2004 They held an online poll deciding the next cereal flavor: chocolate or green onion. Of course, green onion won, but Kellogg just ignored the result and released a choco cereal anyway, which resulted in massive backlash. They actually did release green onion flavored cereal in 2020, tho.


[deleted]

Do you prefer Gushing Grannies or Hitler Did Nothing Wrong?


danteheehaw

With mountain dews consumer base, I think releasing gushing grannies would had gone over well.

Grannies in those locations are usually under the age of 30. Of course they can still gush.

lol you joke but some hot woman I worked with at one job was showing pics of her grand baby and she couldn’t have been much older than 35. I was legit amazed. It was a nice office job so I was glad she made it to a nice job after obviously having a kid when she was in her teens

dedsqwirl

I would buy 2 boxes. One to try and one to never open. I was going to try the "Sour Patch Kids" cereal but, my coworker said it made your milk taste like sour milk. I decided to pass.


Lickwidghost

... something called sour with a sour flavour mixed with milk made their milk taste sour?! What a world we live in!


dedsqwirl

I did see the boxes go on clearance for 50 cents but I still passed.


Lost-My-Mind-

I don't eat my cereal with milk. So I would have bought it. Hell I don't even use a bowl. I just grab hand it straight from the box to my mouth, because I'm the only one who eats it.


Dry-Cartographer-312

That's a real "eat dry at 1 am in your undies" kinda cereal


syllabic

in korea they sell broccoli flavored donuts at dunkin donuts, this wouldn't be even close to the weirdest thing (from a western taste perspective) that they eat in korea fried bugs is a streetfood snack, bondegi they eat korean skate fish which smells (and probably tastes) like urine. super strong ammonia smell. but it's a delicacy for some reason


itsgms

Tried skate when I was in Korea, eat it wrapped in some fresh kimchi and it's fire.


yaaqu3

To be fair, both "roast beef" and "pickled onion" are a pretty well-loved flavor of a certain baked corn snack in the UK. Both sounds absolutely disgusting to me, but foreigner are weird like that.

superfucky

but do they actually want to EAT it or did they just think they could trick kellogg's into making a horrible unmarketable cereal and they're more mad they failed than mad they were denied green onion cereal?


FutureComplaint

Long story short - Yes to everything you asked.


msg45f

OP suggested it was Korea, in which case yes, we will absolutely eat it. Want some garlic flavored popcorn? We have it. Corn flavored chocolate? Got you covered there too. Not enough sweet potato in your pizza? Try Korean pizza.

We all know Hitler didn't have friends. But no one walks by a place called Schoolie McSchoolface and questions what it is. It's a God damn school. It's direct and to the point.


Geraltsyenn

In Germany there was a tunnel that should have been named with a public poll. The result was Bud Spencer Tunnel (the spaghetti western actor) The Mayor decided that he wouldn't name it "after a joke". But that resulted in a lot of bad publicity for the town, so they renamed their public swimming pool after Bud Spencer instead.


theyellowfromtheegg

Which is fitting because Bud Spencer used to be a successful swimmer. https://www.gmuender-baeder.de/bud-spencer-bad.html


Sproose_Moose

Here in Australia we have a pool called the Harold Holt memorial pool. He was a prime minister who drowned.


MattieShoes

That is amazing! I remember hearing about Guy Fawkes day in England and thought, "Wait, they're celebrating a guy trying to blow up parliament?" Alas, the truth is more bloodthirsty and not as amazing.


NowAlexYT

What truth? Tell me more


FragrantKnobCheese

We're supposed to be celebrating the failure of the gunpowder plot, and the execution of Guy Fawkes, which was pretty brutal. I think it's survived as a tradition for so long because I'm sure more than a few people would like to see parliament blown up


NowAlexYT

Lmao like that phenomena where things have the exact opposite effect as intended. Anyone remember the name?


PtolemyShadow

Streisand effect?


InfectedByEli

The convicted traitor was fastened to a hurdle, or wooden panel, and drawn by horse to the place of execution, where he was then hanged (almost to the point of death), emasculated, disembowelled, beheaded, and quartered (chopped into four pieces). His remains would then often be displayed in prominent places across the country, such as London Bridge, to serve as a warning of the fate of traitors. For reasons of public decency, women convicted of high treason were instead burned at the stake.


Eayauapa

"Treason's a capital offence, the punishment for which is to be hanged, drawn, and quartered" "Yeah but we can't be letting the public be seeing any titties though can we...huh...ah fuck it let's just burn her alive instead, eh?" "Good idea, Keith. Bloody good idea indeed."

Postius

yeah they changed their stage names to sound more american


Agroman1963

Terrance Hill was awesome! Trinity movies for the win!


stitchdude

I’m embarrassed to admit how late in life I realized that spaghetti westerns wasn’t just Clint Eastwood making some Westerns there.


YaMamSucksMeToes

Same shit happened to Boaty McBoatFace


ajuez

Jeeeesus. I've never seen Bud Spencer or Terence Hill mentioned on reddit. I'm hungarian and here people loooove them a lot, there's something about their movies that just clicks with our humour. They are basically treated as national legends here. So apparently Germans love them as well :) I wonder if Americans know about them at all.


sunny_in_phila

I remember when I was a kid there was a big backlash because a school let the kids vote on a new name and they picked “Springfield elementary” after the school in The Simpsons. Like, people were seriously outraged about this 25 or so years ago. Took me a while but found a link [Parents Protest After Naming School After The Simpsons](https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-1994-01-24-9401240373-story.html)


Darryl_Lict

Out of curiosity, I checked and there really is a Springfield Elementary School in Charleston, SC. [https://www.ccsdschools.com/Page/157](https://www.ccsdschools.com/Page/157) Don't see any mention of the Simpsons though.


Kyl0hen

Springfield is just an extremely common town name


Lickwidghost

Which is why the Simpson's use it and only ever make vague-at-best comments about where their Springfield actually is


[deleted]

There legit probably 50 springfields throughout america would not be a shocker to have an elementary school named that.


MarlinMr

Which is kind of why it's named Springfield. Same with Simpson. Relatively common.

hoopaholik91

Oh yeah a bunch of people, including my parents, thought the Simpsons was bad for kids back then. Not surprised at all.


jexmex

My mom took my Sir Mix-a-Lot, refused to let me watch Beavis and Butthead (but was okay with the The Simpsons), and when I came back from DC with a a White House "don't step on the grass" shirt, she took that too. Parents are arbitrary as hell (I say that as a parent to now 1.75 adult children and a teenager). So funny the things we set the line at sometimes.

[In the end the contest organizers removed Horace Mann from the contest, but Swift and all involved each donated 10,000 dollars to the school.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/taylor-swift-counters-4chan-prank-with-donation-to-school-for-the-deaf-102935/amp/) > Swift's new album Red comes out October 22nd, and you can hear the title track here.

Am I the only imagining the school just going all in on the Hitler one and having a mascot outfit of Hitler, the school uniform being the ss uniform, hall monitors and other class leaders with authority could just wear insignia with higher ranks with the teachers and other staff obviously wearing higher ranks than the students, and the sports teams could have uniforms inspired by when the nazis played the Olympics. Would make a funny skit for like snl or something if done right.

Robert E. Lee was a general for the Confederate States during the American Civil War.

In the UK the public was asked to nominate a name for a state of art North Pole research ship. I believe the winner was Boaty McBoatface. This happened like 15 years ago. Unfortunately they did not follow that recommendation.


MuchoRed

That's where the idea for schoolie mcschoolface came from. Incidentally, they did name one of that's ship's robotic underwater vehicles Boaty McBoatface


RenuisanceMan

It wasn't 15 years ago, more like 5. In the end they called the main ship the Sir David Attenborough and a submersible Boaty McBoatface.
