OMG, "Diana Wash" sounds somewhat like "Diana Ross" DYGI? My first thought on looking at it was uh, that looks nothing like princess diana, IDGI. Then I got it. I don't recall Diana Ross ever having a big afro haircut, though.

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.

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!

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....

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
