Also, let's make sure that the color of the backhoe doesn't depict the
color used by any particular manufacturer of backhoes, as they might
want to sue based on defamation of their product/brand name.

Reall, kids, if you're that bent on creating a politically correct
expression of your negative emotions toward backhoes, just give up!
If this society has advanced to the point where one can't make fun of
anything without the fear of being sued/fired/shot stopping them, then
it's time to depopulate and start over. Being a minority (having common
sense and intelligence), I am offended by this "cleansing" process that
seems to have taken control of a little joke. I'm going to sue!
