Colbert hits it on the head.

From Huffpost:

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/stephen-colbert-fox-news-legos_n_63f85867e4b0a1ee149959b3

He said that Fox has found something else to PRETEND to be pissed off about: woke Legos. PRETEND. I loved it. It's about time viewers hear this, and hopefully they'll start talking about it.

I live in a pro-Lego household. More reason to buy them as far as I’m concerned.

The land of "blonde", busty, leggy, and way pre-menopausal females and hair-dyed, Botoxed older males has a hard time with Legos, and everyone, that embrace differences

By all Fox News watchers. Especially, the impossible to get new releases that the grandkids ask Santa for Christmas. Stamp out “sold out” Legos.

Stephen Colbert: America’s Bizarro Weather | Buttigieg Finally Visits Ohio | Fox Frets Over “Woke” Legos



Weird winter weather is impacting Americans from coast to coast, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg regrets waiting so long to speak out about the Ohio train derailment, and the folks at Fox News were triggered by a new set of Lego characters.
