Those of a certain age will recall, on Top Of The Pops, images of darts players Jocky Wilson displayed while Dexys Midnight Runners song 'Jackie Wilson Said' played out.
It's not racist, it's a mistake that'll be rectified I'm sure.

Buenchico - Always worth re-reading the de-bunking of some famous rock and pop myths.
No-one with a basic knowledge of anatomy could believe that Marilyn Manson had a rib removed, the human body would simply collapse without the requisite number of ribs.
Interestingly, the story about Van Halen demanding a bowl of M and M's in their dressing room with all the brown ones removed is actually true.
It's nothing to with overpaid rock star pettiness, it has a sound reason -
Van Halen were one of the first bands to take stadium PA's to Asia, where wiring and earthing were not subject to the same rigours as at home, and a lax approach could lead to fatalities.
The band alaways wrote a complex and detailed contract ensuring that all safety measures were in place, and the final line demanded the M and M's with the brown ones removed.
On arrival, the band could see right away if their contract had been read correctly - and if not, they could start getting their crew to carry out safety checks before the show. If the brown M and M's were absent, then the contract had been read, and all would be fine.

Naomi - // How can it be racist? I can understand her being miffed, but it's a mistake. That's all. //
It is a mistake, but since the image accompanied a feature about the treatment of black women, and lack of respect, the lady in question has a point when the publishers didn't even show sufficient respect to provide the correct image to accompany her point in print.
It's not racist, but it was careless, and I understand her upset.

hi DOug
do you remember when Pres Trump said that there were areas of Birmingham white people couldnt go into?
he had confused it with dayton ohio ( ten dead ) or columbine ....
( insert name of latest massacre to taste)

A spoof piece was written 1911 about Artemus Jones present at the Races Daueville or somewhere with his mistress
carried by Daily Mule
unfortunately he actually existed and sued
Conrad Black ( later did time for fraud ) didnt enjoy being the villain in the Express's James Bond cartoons
I thought everyone would pile in with their fave mislabelled photie sstory

.There was a book on Hong Kong in the 70s - hey did you realise that the dogs graffitti bit recently during the protests in HK were a play on 'No Dogs or Chinese" sings from the good old colonial days? Hong Kongers dont really look on themselves as mainland chinese
Anywaaaaaay - the review in the Sunday Times, - was illustrated with a photie of Old Hong Kong
and was in fact a photie of the factories in Canton before they burnt down in 1855. bit snotty when I pointed it out
( as a fren said - how did you know that for chrissakes)

rib resection is commonly done - the ribs arent weight bearing so you can take them out without much loo-loo ( keep it simple Peter..)
The weight is born by the vertebrae - and you can take one (vertebra) out and it is ok so long as you stabilise the gap.
