MULESHOE, TEXAS– A group of mules is leading a campaign to try and have the word “Jackass” banned, saying it’s a derogatory slur used against mules, who\u00a0are a cross between a female horse and a male donkey.<\/p>\n

The group Mule: I Ain’t No Jackass<\/em> argues that the J-word is one of racial, religious, and species hatred, saying there’s nothing funny about its use.<\/p>\n

Howdy, a 3 year old mule from Muleshoe, claims the J-word is being improperly used against his kind and that it gives others the impression that donkeys are more intelligent than mules.<\/p>\n

He claims this has also caused mules to lose roles in movies to donkeys, such as in the animated film Shrek<\/em> where the part originally called for a mule, not a donkey.<\/p>\n

Howdy protesting against the use of the word \u201cJackass\u201d. Many mules are coming forward and asking Congress to do away with the derogatory word.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“We’re calling on Congress to have the J-word banned for life,” Howdy told local Fox news reporters, holding up an anti-Jackass sign. “The J-word is antiquated, impartial, discriminatory, racist, prejudiced, biased, and drives a wedge further between us and donkeys. It’s about time we all came together and put an end to this segregation.”<\/p>\n

Even though most mules are in favor of banning the J-word, some believe that doing away with the word will limit opportunities that mules have over donkeys whenever a jackass is needed, especially for movie roles, comedic situations, or when calling a moron<\/a> a jackass.<\/p>\n

“I think we should keep the J-word,” Guss the mule said, protesting against the other mules. “What’re we gonna call\u00a0someone whenever they do something stupid, or when Hollywood needs someone to play a jackass? These other mules don’t realize the negative impact this’s gonna have on our industry.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
