Anti-ironers rejoice! Big news story inside

Seriously though, this is BIG news!  Monopoly has decided to get rod of the iron game piece, and replaced it with a cat.  Whoa.

What do you guys think of the change?

Now they just need to ditch the thimble. I always thought those were the two lamest pieces. I wonder how they decided on a cat, though.

Why fix something that ain't broke?

I'm pretty excited about the cat piece.  Nobody ever wanted to be the iron.

But I thought this was going to be about ironing clothes.  I am anti-that.  I need a movement for wrinkled or wrinkle-free (without ironing) clothes.

A cat? I wish they had picked the robot.

Apparently, they had an online vote.

ETA: a 3 page post from yesterday says this was a stupid idea... Who voted, I'd like to know

FWIW, I don't iron.

Stop hating on the iron. It's my favorite piece.

I kind-of like the iron.
