Is monopoly seriously trending because an iron is being replaced with a cat? Jesus fucking christ

— Jack(@jackcraig23) February 6, 2013

Indeed it is. And no worries, the New York Times is on it!

It’s the BuzzFeeding of America.

What hath @buzzfeed wrought? Cat in, iron out as #Monopoly token.

Or perhaps, a War on Housewives:

Reflecting changing American society, Monopoly no longer has Iron, for stay-at-home-moms, replacing with Cat, for spinster cat-ladies.

Hasbro’s announcement that the Monopoly iron will be replaced with a cat might seem like minor news to you, but some are heartbroken. When will this assault on our childhood end?

Only a matter of time (if not already) before we see the “BRING BACK THE IRON!!!” Facebook campaigns. #ImportantNews #Monopoly

Monopoly removes the iron & replaces it with a cat?WTF

— Steven Shaw (@czechov) February 6, 2013

whenever I play Monopoly I always choose the iron; very said to hear it’s being dropped

— Richard Morris (@richardmorrisuk) February 6, 2013

I’m thinking of reporting the removal of the iron from Monopoly to the Monopolies Commission.

Too late to Save Your Token now, guys. But hey, for better or worse, the thimble is still around.

Cat introduced as monopoly piece… iron is out. How the HELL did the thimble survive?!?

We’re stuck with the thimble?MT @startribune: Monopoly fans vote to add cat as the game’s new token, replacing iron. bit.ly/XNB3EY

Post Office cuts Saturday mail instead of 5 days’ worth, Monopoly fails to replace horse, iron & thimble with tablet & smartphone. #smh

Coming soon?

Only a matter of time before Monopoly rolls out the Predator Drone piece. Obama’s America.

— Sean Agnew (@seanagnew) February 6, 2013

But don’t toss those irons just yet.

Apparently they replaced the iron with a cat in #Monopoly. Everyone save your iron because in 50 years, it will probably be worth thousands.
