Thank God we won't be making another updated version of Gone With The Wind.  Much too politically incorrect vision and language. 

well gollee gosh!!

Could this "correctness" be because "golliwog people" are ashamed to be black?

 

No.

Are you ashamed you're pink?

Not at all, nor afraid to call a spade a spade, or a club a club. How about chou?

Will it ever end???

Australia, probably the most over governed and over regulated country in the world.

The most over-governed and most majority-punitive!

Not true Dave R and as long as we can laugh at the idiocy of it all, it never will be either...............

"Laugh"?! That is exactly the problem with this country - laughing at something, turning your back on it, and making believe it doesn't while it only gets worse - no matter how irrelevant it may first be. This is the apathetic mindset which will bring this country undone. "poorwomanme" may well be the person you made of yourself by turning a blind eye to your circumstances and not DOING something to better your life.

Why are golliwogs thought to be symbols of racism? They are happy black dolls - what's wrong with that? I still see quite a few for sale around the place and don't see anything wrong with them being used in ads.

A golliwog from 7 Camp St no less, very suss. Address should be banned.

I thought that we elected Pollies to represent OUR will.  Do we really need a mob of do gooders to tell us what we like/don't like?  If somebody advertises with a gollywog & the populace don't like it, they won't buy it & they will stop buying & the ads will stop.  I am really curious as to why the athiests haven't objected to the sale of the Bible. (the biggest seller of fiction in the history of books)  We are told every day that women are more equal, in every way, than men.  So, will some wise do gooder please advise me as to why we still have seperate events for women & men, in every sport known to man/woman kind?  We are instructing children to study transgenders & gays etc, at school, BUT, we can't expose their brains to that awful rascist Enid Blyton.  I just looked up the word "mankind" in the Collins & Webster Dictionaries & it is in both.  Shouldn't they both be banned & removed from all schools & libraries? 

A golliwog from 7 Camp street sounds like a cynical joke. Not sure if it is a good or bad joke. Sounds like a point is being made against people who are anti golliwog and anti gay?

 

Innes,

Quote you: "We are told every day that women are more equal, in every way, than men". 

We are not told that. Perhaps it is only what you hear? We all see what we want to see, hear what we want to hear, don't we? 

Yes Robi, I think innes sees a different world from many of us.

And he does seem very grumpy today.

Fast Eddie. Take your hand off it, you w**ker.

I have a fullfilling life and love every minute of it especially when I get a nong like you to respond in such a way, hahahahaha.

The only complaint I have in life is the inability to load a photo up and have to endure a male image as my avatar that gives me the same likeness as you.

Shiver.........creepy! hahahahhahaha
