TRANSGENDER KEN DOLL CAKE CAUSES RUCKUS

A Northern California bakery is under fire after making a transgender Ken doll birthday cake. Freeport Bakery in Sacramento baked the cake. The cake looked like a Ken doll wearing a pink dress made of frosting, a sash, a tiara and some jewelry. Co-owner Marlene Goetzeler said it wasn’t one of the most unusual cakes the bakers have ever made. Goetzeler said, “I guess I just thought this is a really cool cake, and look at how great they did with the butter cream. What’s wrong with a Ken cake?” She posted the creation on the bakery’s Facebook page and was immediately hit with negative comments. The cake sparked a fierce LGBT debate. The bakery lost dozens of Facebook likes and Goetzeler feared it could damage her business. Chad Graham said the cake was made for a birthday party for a member of a group that meets once a month for a dice game. He said the recipient of the cake isn’t transgender nor was the cake supposed to be a political statement of any kind. “I thought it was a little ridiculous. It was just cake,” Graham said.

* Besides, who wouldn’t want to carve up Ken with a knife?
* I think the Ken doll, from day one, has always been transitioning. Although with that crotch of his, it’s hard to tell which way he’s going.
* Wait – is this a transgender Ken cake or just Ken having a little fun dressing up?
* Barbie knew something was up when she found the waistbands of her slacks all stretched out.
* “Ken! How did ketchup stains get on my angora sweater?!”
* It could have been worse. The pink-dress wearing Ken could have been shooting Cecil the lion.
* Now THAT would have made Facebook go nuts!
* A group that meets for a dice game? You mean the Hotsy-Totsy Yahtzee Club?
* Meanwhile, I’m just awaiting instructions from the PC police on how to respond to this.
* I think I see the problem: If you give a transgender cake to a person who isn’t transgender that’s being insensitive to all the transgender people who wish they had some cake right now.
* This could be how the universe ends: We tie ourselves into a politically correct knot that just gets tighter and tighter till we disappear.
