ALDI has been forced to change the name of its “rape yellow” paint after a victim of sexual assault complained.

The woman, in her 50s, told how she began “choking” up when she saw the offending item on a special offer stand, reports The Sun.

The discount chain explained the paint was named after rapeseed — a crop that is yellow in colour.

But the woman, who cannot be named, insists it was an offensive name.

She was shopping with her son at the budget store in Coventry, England when she noticed the paint.

She told the Coventry Telegraph: “I looked at the paint and thought it can’t possibly say that, you have got to be kidding me, there’s no way they would sell that. I started choking.

“I got straight out of there. I was furious and upset.

“I thought maybe I was being sensitive because of my situation, but I sent pictures to my friends and they were all shocked by it. They couldn’t believe what I was saying.

“I contacted Aldi afterwards and they just assumed I was being sensitive because I was a rape victim.

Quote:

“How the hell did it get out with that name in the first place?

“You wouldn’t sell something called abortion red or poo brown. To me it’s the same thing, it’s offensive.

“It is a word that is a problem. How many other words can you think of for yellow without using that one?”

On Aldi’s website the one litre tins of paint are sold for 4.99 pounds ($9.3) and listed as “rapeseed yellow”.

Quote:

However in the store the lid of the item says “rape yellow”.

Aldi has now changed the label.

The chain said in a statement: “This paint is a colour widely referred to in the industry as ‘RAL 1021 Rape Yellow’, which refers to rapeseed.

“The colour name will be altered to rapeseed yellow for all future production of this paint.”

Hate to say it....yeah kind of an obvious.

Are SJW's going to protest and uproot all rapeseed plants because they're rapey ?

Maybe they'll destroy all grapevines because the last four letters of grape spell (GASP!)?

The real trigger was when she bought a gallon and they gave her this as a stir stick. The horror of stirring rape paint with a rapier

[zombiejimmorrison]

At least they kept the rape in rapeseed and didn't cave in completely. Doesn't she know people actually cook and eat with rape(seed) oil

[eatthishomie]

Guarantee you there will be a feminist petition to change the name of rapeseed at some point.

[Scoundrel]

I agree it's a poor name.... Vitamin Pee would be better.

Every time i walk past the coking oils aisle, I think of a bunch of almonds ganging up on an unsuspecting sunflower seed.

Rapacious marketing by Aldi.

Found this disgusting rapist. Look at all the rape paint she uses!



(and if you know anything about colour mixing, you can see just how evil she is by mixing her rape-colour paint with blue to get that triggering green)

[GoldHawkStar]

Watch out, Webster's Dictionary. You're next.

[Horus]

This should also be banned.

While we're at it, all those Therapists have to go...

[BortimusPrime]

Guess they should have been less niggardly with their label text.

[Conscious Pirate]

That's right boys. There is a website for that...

It's disgusting & soooooo problematic just how much unconscious rape is happening all around us & we are seemingly oblivious to the blight it is on our collective consciousness. This is just the tip of the trapeze swing.

When I was a kid we used to grow "rape" here on the farm (and yes as young boys we used to snicker about it, just like if a man's name was "Dick" or a rooster was called a "cock") Then some time in the eighties "rape" became "canola"

Quote:

The name "canola" was chosen by the board of the Rapeseed Association of Canada in the 1970s. The "Can" part stands for Canada and "ola" refers to oil.The name was coined partially to euphemize the name of rapeseed oil, to avoid the negative connotations of rape as a violent sex crime,

Though Canola is technically just one variety of rapeseed, the terms "rape" or "rapeseed" are rarely used in Australia nowdays. I didn't know until today that they still were elsewhere.

"Daddy, what is rape?" asked Jenny
"Why don't you follow me down to the field behind the barn and I'll show you honey"
Meanwhile Dick was in his room showing Johnny his balls.
"I've got a football, a basketball, and a baseball"
Suddenly Dick had an idea
"Hey! Do you want to see my cock?"
Dick and Johnny skipped gaily together towards the hen house, Dick couldn't wait to show Johnny his big red cock...

My 11 year old self would be sent out of class and unable to speak for at least half an hour.

Rape!

Oilseed rape!

I've got the perfect package for this person. She will want to think twice about opening it.

See 1:10.

Concerning the name change, why change it to "Rapeseed Yellow"? Clearly it's the fields of rape that have that yellow colour, not the seeds.

I propose: "Rapeblossom Yellow".

Doesn't that have a pleasant ring to it? It evokes Summer skies and fields full of blossoming rape. Brings back memories...
