(as seen here)

I can't believe this thread only scraped 1000 posts

I saw those Diana Wash things in a... I wanna say Matalan.

As an afficiando of all things kooky, fun and afros, I wanted one until I realised that scrubbing dishes sucks.

Watching Breakfast At Tiffany's for the first time. Fucking hell. Mickey Rooney.

Didn't quite get the extent of America's issue with this until now.

with what

Yellowface.

Witness at Berlusconi trial in Rome claims Italy's ex-PM watched a striptease by a woman wearing a football shirt and ... a Ronaldinho mask

Product mentioned upthread, but useful to have Daily Mail's input on this:

They're not exactly politically correct, are they? Race row after Afro washing up sponges go on sale

Paladone said the range had been a phenomenal success since hitting the shelves. But its attempts to give the humble cleaning implement a funky 70s disco makeover seems to have backfired.

I was thinking of this thread when I read the essay linked on the "Is This Racist?" thread about the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia. http://www.ferris.edu/jimcrow/collect/

These anti-black depictions were routinely manifested in or on material objects: ashtrays, drinking glasses, banks, games, fishing lures, detergent boxes, and other everyday items like that bottle opener, obviously, ffs!

Did Scik Mouthy ever get one of these amazing Ronaldinho bottle openers?

I think he got a golden troll doll instead.

I actually went as far as taking a photo of one of those sponges in a shop window several months back, w/ a mind to bump this thread, but either forgot or couldn't be bothered

lol @ the Mail seeking a quote for this from a spokesperson for UAF

Good player Reizeger and this proposed transfers been suggested for a good while. I wouldnt say Michael Reizeger is ugly but you could open a bottle of Bud on those buck teeth of his!

Which Ronaldo? If you mean the bloke who could open a bottle of beer with his teeth (easily) then is Real Madrid again. Come to think of it you won't go far wrong with Real Madrid. The bench probably costs more than most clubs (not just the price of the players). When I say bench I obviously mean the substitutes that sit on the sidelines during a game. Not a piece of wood....

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

lol (not directed at you koogs)

also DJP's post needs to be in the first response hall of fame if it is not already

i love that the first three posts so clearly demarcate the lines of the oncoming clusterfuck

*incredulousness*
*unflappable enthusiasm*

looking like ronaldinho is racist now

I have to assume all the british posters at the start of this thread are paying tribute to stewart lee's routine about jimmy hill by acting out the part of hill

I have to

every few months i skimread through this thread

at last, some good humour to defuse the situation! some of you highly-strung types ought to learn a lesson from this. looking at you, ethan.

2 weeks pass...

let us discuss whether the portrayal of Ronaldinho on the Simpsons was as offensive or whatever as the bottle opener:

That's Ronaldo, not Ronaldinho. Probably best not to think all black guys look the same on this thread, Alex.

the duration and recapitulation of the arguments here is quite something, mostly one would expect a 1000 page thread like this to be perhaps 400 posts of argument, 200 posts of partially related sniping and then a long cadenza of meta and periodic reminiscence

in this thread people are still trying to determine whether or not the ronaldinho bottle opener might, in fact, be racist after about 850 posts

I don't think I've got that far although there are always a couple of die-hards no

like the japanese guy who thinks it's still ww2

first response hall of fame

the thing is so grotesque and repellent, quite why anyone would want such an object even if it weren't racist
