You might say Piers Morgan had a meltdown after hearing about gender inclusive "snowpeople" on a BBC Children's Show. Morgan, a frequent skeptic of political correctness, just roasted the notion of "snowpeople" on Good Morning Britain.

Critics are saying Morgan acted like "a total snowflake."

Catie Munnings, a 20-year-old BBC Children's presenter, has received some backlash for referring to snowmen as "snowpeople" in a recent episode of CBeebies. Morgan took issue with the gender inclusive term, insisting that snowpeople must be referred to as snowmen.

Why? According to a grumpy Piers Morgan, it's because that's the way its been for 10,000 years.




A few people on Twitter agreed with him, complaining about "politically correct madness."




But others found Morgan's cranky take on snowpeople to be ridiculous.


Ricky Gervais posted these ice cold tweets about snowpeople, leading to more carrot-related humor.






Sure, these new terms can sound weird or unnecessary at first, and that's okay! The development of language can be awkward, but we doubt anyone's Christmas will be ruined by the simple option of using "snowpeople" instead of snowmen this holiday season.

Chill out Piers!

GOP Rep. Ousted From Chairmanship By Trump Calls Out Colleagues For Russian Propaganda In Resurfaced Clip

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
