This again?

Oprah's handlers tell Melbourne doll shop to remove golliwog | News.com.au

lol, first Hey Hey and now this?

Americans should really look in their own backyard before trying to preach PC bullshit here.

[Sabbath']

My thoughts exactly. Dont like it...#### off back to your own country and take your gaggle of underworked housewives with you.

[VT-565]

Are any of the white dolls getting pulled?
No.

If there is any act of racism or discrimination, its the one to decide they are different from the rest and justifiably pulling them off the shelf.

If she wasn't wealthy, it wouldn't happen.

[ShadowMyst86]

This is the annoying bit;
"Golliwogs are deeply offensive to Americans because of their perceived links to slavery and racism. "

Perceived links? Not actual links. No real ties to slavery or racism. Its just perceived to be offensive. FFS!

[soop]

What a joke, tell the fat bitch to piss off.

[CSP]

Yeah! How about people fix their perception problems ffs!!!

[S.T.K.E]

Someone should go down dressed like MJ from the Hey Hey it's Saturday Skit. See how that goes.

[Jesterarts]

The thing that annoys me the most is that it was the Americans who had all these major racial issues, etc and now they run around the wolrd telling other countries telling them they are being racist because something is offesive in the US based on THEIR racist history and culture.

It's pot meet kettle but the kettle thinks it's a spoon!

[soop]

If someone called her a black bitch, why would that be racist?
It's true, she is black and she is a stupid bitch.

It's not saying she's a bitch because she's black.

[minux]

Hmm, wonder when they will want black barbies removed? I mean after all, when is there skinny negro women with perfect arse and boobs?

Seriously, more PC junk.

[Julie]

Stupid bitch why couldn't Jerry Springer have come out instead of her that would be so much more entertaining having feral bogan sluts fighting over midgets at the Opera House

[ari666]

i still liked that KFC ad

[jetboy]

Hear Hear I've nuthin to add you blokes have said it all , F#@&K off back home Opra you bitch .......... Oh i like the Jerry Springer idea I'd buy the firstt ticket

[Drawnnite]

and what happens if an aussie or other country in this world (or is it all america to americans?) went to the Usa and said those things.
thats right. we would be shot dead on site, or run out of the country while having sticks and stones thrown at us.

then again its american talks and the world is ment to bow down and roll out the red carpet.

[Jesterarts]

I want to know what Mingee and Gary would have to say on this topic.

[sik_dose]

It looks like a vodo doll. Stab it with pins and watch oprah squirm.......hehehe.

[rb26dett]

What an absolute nothing story.

[TA 91 WA]

Who's next?

[ClairBear]

Imagine being so rich you had your minders in other countries telling shop keepers what they can and can't display.

Disgusting. If it offends her she can just stay home next time.

[Troy711]

I want to know what Mingee and Gary would have to say on this topic.

Gary got shot and then Mingee shot himself... with Gary gone it's no surprise Oprah is full of shit...

[Jesterarts]

Gary got shot and then Mingee shot himself... with Gary gone it's no surprise Oprah is full of shit...

Bababababababa *beer all over screen and keyoard*

Call of the day, nein, the week right there!

[STEEV888]

this be why oprah i hate.

[Richo923]

we should all go buy every Golliwog doll we can find and line the roads with them to greet her...... hang them in the rear windows of cars and if anyone has any money rent a bill board sign advertising them outside the hotel she will be staying at, maybe then she will get the message

[Calaber]

Following on from Sashyre's comment, who in hell do the minders think they are, and what is their purpose by visiting Melbourne AHEAD of Winfrey, to be in a position to tell shopkeepers to remove the dolls? What are these clowns - official "Oprah Censors", who travel ahead of her to clear the streets of anything that might offend her? Imagine being a shopkeeper in Melbourne. Some American clown walks in and tells you that Oprah is coming, you have to remove those dolls".

My reaction would be automatic. "**** off, pal!"

If that media article is accurate, this is typical American heavy-handedness. "What's wrong for America is wrong for the world" stuff. And the way the media is fawning over Winfrey makes me want to puke. She is just a very successful and wealthy American media person, but to watch the nightly news coverage, you would think she was the President or the Queen.

Just more cultural cringe making us look like we are still children in the big world.

[HamaTime™]

####ing clowns....mind your own goddamn business in your own goddamn country.

#### OFF

Politicall Correctness bullshit absolutely drives me up the wall...who do these punks think they are coming to preach in our country....just because you represent half of America's wealth and Talk show doesn't mean you can tell people what to do. GTFO of Australia....

And Tax payers are paying for this.
