What The Hell Happened To Aunt Jemima?

Who's the genius that decided Aunt Jemima needed an upgrade?
I haven't had home made pancakes since I was a kid. Now I have a kid of my own and decided to start making pancakes on occasion for my family. We ran out of the Hungry Jack syrup my wife had originally bought and the store didn't have it so she got Aunt Jemima.

The real Aunt Jemima is fat, and wears an apron and bandanna. She looks like she makes the best pan cakes in the world and makes you feel all warm and at home inside. This new imposter looks like a business woman who's never cooked breakfast in her life. She looks like she's about to run off to work after quickly throwing some cold crap on the table.

This is an outrage. Just looking at that picture made my pancakes taste like they just went from the freezer to the microwave.

I want my fat Aunt Jemima back!
