Golli in the window

Is it being racist to display a legal toy in one's window?

[emmie]

one example, what about Frankie Boyle, who makes jokes about anyone and anything, and he is not alone. That is the 21st century for you, and video games that show women being killed, and films that are as nasty as its possible to get, modern life. Perhaps that's something some should think about. So an old rag doll that's offensive, fine, but let's get our priorities right.

The neighbour isn't the same colour as the golliwog, she is brown the golly toy is black!!!!

you can say that again

>> Prank calls

On Thursday 16 October 2008, Sachs, best known in Britain for his portrayal of Manuel in the television comedy Fawlty Towers, was scheduled to be a phone-in guest on Brand's evening radio show, which was to be pre-recorded due to Brand's work commitments.[5][6]

On opening the segment of the show due to feature Sachs, Brand stated "In a minute we're going to be talking to Andrew Sachs, Manuel actor. The elephant in the room is, what Andrew doesn't know is, I've slept with his granddaughter."[5] After being unable to reach Sachs on his home phone, Brand and his guest of that week, fellow Radio 2 DJ Jonathan Ross, left four messages on Sachs' answerphone. In the first message, Brand joked about Fawlty Towers and the fact that both he and Sachs had appeared in The Bill, but was interrupted by Ross shouting out "he wonderfully fluffed your granddaughter". The rest of the message and the following three messages were all characterised by Brand and Ross attempting to apologise for Ross' outburst, but each quickly descended into farce, with, for example, Brand singing to Sachs: "It was consensual and she wasn't menstrual" and Ross asking to marry him.[6]

Brand later said that when he listens back to those calls it is like hearing 'two idiots dancing towards a canyon.' <<

[ummmm]

What has Frankie Boyle got to do with this?

[DrFilth]

read the post above yours ummmm

[sara3]

yes, DrF, em10 had responded to my previous comment, and that was my reply to her.

[emmie]

DF no its not. Neither is this, so no one would give one to a child, nor should the person have put it in the window of her home, but the whole story is absurd. If the lady was offended, then she had recourse to the law, which i believe she did.

[sara3]

but feel free to take it out of context.. a bit like em10 mis-quoted me :o)

some people will read what they like into anything.

[DrFilth]

thing with this case and the same as a lot of other cases is we do not have all the facts

this person says the child put the doll in the window how can the police prove her wrong

[ummmm]

DrF - Did you watch the FB stand up where he made that gag?

[DrFilth]

no

[ummmm]

Watch it first then....

Also...anyone who buys FB tickets or buys his videos knows exactly what kind of gags he's going to make. You can't get offended when one of his gags relates to your personal life...but laugh when it relates to someone elses.

The dailymail, surprise surprise, made it sound much worse than it was.

[emmie]

DF I watched ten minutes of his last show and decided if that's supposed to be funny, then i will go back to watching Morecambe and Wise.

[DrFilth]

i have seen some of fb and he is not to my taste

[joeluke]

So Jim Davidson's humour is unacceptable but Frankie Boyle's is???

[ummmm]

You aiming that at me Joe?
