Just re-reading through the thread & thought I'd have a look at this point Jay made, although it's a "Mail" story, shock & horror ! A UK company being racist & offensive by making fun of the Afro ???

How could they, so I decided to look further at this Paladome companies portfolio, well what a surprise, they make all kinds of novelty objects the bottle stopper quite tickled me but I don't see any outrage !

But onto the offending articles the Afro scrubbers, right alongside them there appear to be a punk & a young lady in a 60's styley & if I'm not very much mistaken, they seem to be white or am I going colour blind ?

Goodness me, where's the yowls & yammers of indignation that white's have also been so horribly maligned along side their black brethren ? Why isn't someone up on their hind legs about this injustice, or is it because offence only seems to go one way ?
