#1 Woefully inadequate. Until the very idea of a trader is expunged from our society, we're just shuffling chairs on the deck of a slave ship.

#2 Remove all ethnic images from all food. I want everyone to see a white guy with a pitchfork every time they eat anything. Let them know where their next meal comes from.

#3 "Jungle Trip"?

How hard is it to check the name of a classic ride at the oldest theme park in the world? It's Jungle Cruise.

And Trader Sam is a character in the ride -- a headhunter who's running a sale -- two of his heads for one of yours. Best thing -- Disney cornered themselves by naming bars after Trader Sam; they can't remove the character without renaming the popular bars.

#6 Free publicity for low volume products.

Guess "pickled pig's feet" will never be "drunken blue shoe".

#8 Why doesn't Trader Joe's just name all their products, "Product X" to really confuse patrons? Of course, you are then discriminating against Product A, B, C,...and Z.

You could just have everything come in plain brown rapper. Oh, wait a minute, "plain brown rapper"could be considered racist.

Would this be acceptable?

#10 Ah think 'light' is now a bad adjective.
