Does Ronaldinho remind you of the man from the Darkie toothpaste box?

That bottle opener does!

i dont know who the fuck ronaldinho is but im pretty sure i saw that bottle opener at the end of 'bamboozled'

I'm fairly sure even Tuomas and Lex know who Ronaldinho is.

Bamboozled used that "Black man bottle opener" didn't it? He looks nothing like Ronaldinho.

It's wearing 10, has big teeth and a ponytail - it's not Roberto Carlos is it?

Bizarrely, I found it while image searching "aranyscapat" looking for pics of the Hungary 1954 squad. wtf?!

Scik Mouthy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm pretty sure I've seen a "LOL RONALDINHO BUCKTEETH LOOKS LIKE BOTTLE OPENER" comment on ILX before somewhere. Someone is going to be owed some royalties.

His teeth aren't HUGE, but they're very pronounced because his gums are enormous.

onimo, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

If it had been a Luke Chadwick/Esther Rantzen/other comedy-toothed character bottle-opener, would this be creating controversy? It's a caricature of a man with fuck-off big teeth. His colour is neither here nor there.

I want one too.

For reference, people who have no idea who Ronaldhino is:

Um, xxxxpost. You people are weird. Ronaldhino is basically 90% teeth and gums.

ailsa, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Who the fuck is Luke Chadwick? :)

ailsa otm, comedy bottle opener has nothing to do with his colour.

I think and what is saying all comedy bottle opener (and toothpaste tube) black men look alike.

I thought people would've been used to ethan trolling by now.

Well, it was the first thing I thought of too, fwiw.

by "ethan trolling" you mean dan perry expressing his revulsion circa the second post?

ghost rider, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:17 (seventeen years ago) link

all blackface minstrel representations of black men usually do look alike

Ailsa was OTM. Can't say it any better.

Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:20 (seventeen years ago) link

'if it was a white guy you wouldnt say it was racist!' well uh yeah

and what, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Plus Dan and Ethan's response is obviously because of the toothpaste thing. Which is something I have never seen before and I doubt many of "us britishers" have.
So yeah ok Ethan may not have been trolling. Sorry.

Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

darkie toothpaste was a stand-in for any number of racist products throughout us & uk & basically every other country's history, of which this bottle opener fits neatly into the history of

and what, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha, the first google hit for Luke Chadwick leads you to uglyfootballers.com

ailsa, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Kerr, are you really not seeing this? Ethan and Dan aren't responding to the toothpaste thing, they are invoking the toothpaste thing because they think it's the same thing. Which it isn't.

Please someone explain clearly to me, because I am clearly an idiot, exactly *how* this is racist.

ailsa, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link

But ethan this bottle opener has nothing to do with his colour. It's about his teeth. Sure that's still discriminating, but if the worlds most famous footballer was white and had big teeth the opener would still have been made.

Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link

And I think I better go and google Luke Chadwick to see who he is.

Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:27 (seventeen years ago) link

guys, its called DARLIE now.

(the bottle opener I mean. And btw, I am aware of the toothpaste and several other stereotypical things of days of yore. The toothpaste issue = all black men have shiny white teeth. Wrong. The bottle-opener = Ronaldhino has great big silly teeth. Fair enough. He does. It's not saying anything about black people, or Brazilians, or Barcelona players, or men, or whatever. It's saying something about ONE MAN.)

four months pass...

Ronaldinho has made 14 appearances in all competitions - scoring only three goals and making two assists.

However, the Mexican club's fitness coach Roberto Bassagaisteguy recently revealed the 34-year-old hasn't been pulling his weight in training.

''He doesn't do physical exercise,' Bassagaisteguy said of Ronaldinho. 'I can't force him to run because he doesn't like it. He does special exercises with special players. I know what they like.

no love deb weep (nakhchivan), Saturday, 14 February 2015 22:16 (nine years ago) link

Kabuscorp president Kangamba expects Ronaldinho to be plying his trade in Girabola - the top division of Angolan football - at the halfway mark of 2015.

"It's a certainty. We are negotiating, but Ronaldinho has to terminate the contract with his current club, and then be able to join us in June," Kangamba told Public Television Angola (PTA) .

"You may ask why I picked Ronaldinho... Well, I want quality in my squad."

If Ronaldinho does complete a move to Kabuscorp, he would follow in the footsteps of former team-mate Rivaldo, who joined the club on a one-year deal in 2012.

Kind of glad there wasn't a more appropriate thread for it? This one barely is tbh.

In the wake of DJP's link, there were some local stories here consisting of the same "bad taste" element. Online vendors pull xmas stuff or postcards or canvas posters that were "decorated" w/ images of concentration camps. Any morality is lost on bots (and those who let bots roam free), but I've seen shops online presenting posters/stickers/canvas etc with questionable content before. Basically, the "store" works as follows: if it's an image that exists on the internet, we can print it for you on X, look: here's an example.

I'm in a facebook group that documents US conservatives' weird obsession with AOC, and there were some bottle opener images recently that gave me flashbacks to this thread (especially with the handful of "I don't see how that's racist" replies).

Just goes to show, the real divide on the "Racist trinkets: classic or dud?" issue has never been UK/US
