Ginger persons?

The politically-correct police are at it again.

The Indiana Daily Student noticed recently that ginger-flavored cookies for sale at Indiana University in Bloomington are called "ginger persons" instead of the more traditional "gingerbread men."

The cookies are reported to have been stripped of their gender in order to appease the gods of sensitivity.

Mary Frohliger, an IMU employee of 23 years, wonders what the folks who wrote the Mother Goose rhymes would do today.

"You can't go, 'Run, run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm a gingerbread person.' That doesn't work; you can't do the rhyme without 'man,'" she said.
