Gollywogs, politically incorrect children's toys
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golliwogg
Excerpt:
Golliwog as racist insult
After the publication of Upton's first book, the term "golliwog" was used both as a reference to the children's toy and as a generic slang term for Black people. In the UK and the
Commonwealth, "golliwog" perhaps became "
wog," a
racial slur applied to dark-skinned people worldwide, especially those with darker skin.
[3] In Australia many young people of Greek,
Lebanese, Syrian and other
Mediterranean descent have
reclaimed the name "wog" as a humorous identifier. An example of this from popular Australian culture is the 2000 movie
The Wog Boy starring the actor
Nick Giannopoulos.
In the early 1980s, revised editions of
Enid Blyton's
Noddy books replaced Mr. Golly, the golliwog proprietor of the Toytown garage, with Mr. Sparks.
In March 2007,
Greater Manchester Police seized two golliwogs from a shop after a complaint that the dolls were offensive.
[4] In September, 2007, retail chain
Zara put a T-shirt on sale in its UK stores with a Golliwog-looking little girl printed in the front.
[citation needed] The design spurred controversy, coming only weeks after the company had been forced to pull a
swastika-emblazoned handbag from its shelves, although the swastika is also a religious symbol for
Hindus and
Buddhists.
[5]
In September 2008, Amanda Schofield from
Stockport claimed she was arrested for keeping a "golly doll" in her window. Greater Manchester Police denied this and said she was arrested after a series of complaints of alleged racially-aggravated behavior were made against her.
[6]
In February 2009,
Carol Thatcher, in an off-air conversation at the
BBC, referred to the black French tennis player
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, competing in the
Australian Open, as looking like a golliwog.
[7] The comment was considered by the BBC as "wholly unacceptable" and Thatcher was informed that unless she apologized she would no longer be a reporter on BBC's
The One Show. Thatcher stated that it was a silly joke and declined to make an "unconditional apology". Thatcher claimed that her comment was a reference to the golliwog motifs that she saw in her childhood on "jars of jam" (Robertson's Marmalade).
[8] In April 2009 she appeared on the BBC in an interview on
The Andrew Marr Show for the first time since the scandal, defending her use of the word.
[9] The French publication
Sportsweek' claimed that Thatcher, in talking about a previous competition, referred to another player as "the one who was defeated by the
golliwog in the previous tour." The French publication, which showed a picture of Tsonga above a picture of a toy golliwog, claimed that Thatcher was "mortified" and that her comment was about the similarity of Tsonga's appearance to the doll that she had as a child.

Creedence Clearwater Revival was the Golliwogs before CCR.

History
[edit] Before Creedence: 1959-1967
John Fogerty, Doug Clifford, and Stu Cook (all born 1945) met in junior high school in
El Cerrito, California and began playing instrumentals and "juke box standards" together under the name
The Blue Velvets.
[4] The trio also backed singer Tom Fogerty— John's older brother by three years—at live gigs and in the recording studio. By 1964, the band had signed to
Fantasy Records, an independent
jazz label based in
San Francisco at the time.
Fantasy had released
Cast Your Fate to the Wind, a national hit for jazz pianist
Vince Guaraldi. The record's success was the subject of an
NET TV special, which prompted budding songwriter John Fogerty to contact the label.
[5] For the band's first release, however, Fantasy co-owner Max Weiss renamed the group
the Golliwogs (after the children's literary character,
Golliwogg), apparently to cash in on a wave of popular British bands with similar names.
During this period, band roles underwent some changes. Stu Cook had gone from piano to bass guitar and Tom Fogerty became the band's rhythm guitarist. John Fogerty also began to write much of the band's material. Most notably, the young guitarist had taken over lead vocal duty. As Tom would later say, "I could sing, but John had a sound!"

Excerpt:
The popularity of golliwogs began to decline after the Second World War as other toys and games flooded the market. By
1981 only 2,500 were being sold a year. They were also affected by the growth of ‘political correctness’, and what was once seen as a harmless, jolly toy became a controversial political item. In the early 1980s revised editions of
Enid Blyton's Noddy books replaced Mr Golly, the golliwog proprietor of the Toytown garage, with a teddy bear. In
1983 the Greater London Council boycotted
Robertson products as offensive. In
1988 the character ceased to be used in television advertising. In
August 2001 the company replaced Golly entirely with
Roald Dahl characters.
However, in
September 2001 Richard Eddy, deputy leader of Bristol's Tory councillors, was forced to resign following a scandal involving the erection of a foot‐high golliwog on top of a filing cabinet in Bristol Town Hall, in what he called a stand against political correctness. In
May 2005 George Wood, a senior Scottish lawyer, was fined £1,500 for telling a joke about golliwogs at a dinner in Falkirk.

Excerpt:
Carol Thatcher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carol Thatcher (born 15 August 1953) is a
British journalist, author and media personality. She is the daughter of
Margaret Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, a former
British Prime Minister, and
Sir Denis Thatcher, Bt.
Thatcher has published biographies of both her parents. Additionally, she produced a documentary of her father which contained his only public interview.
[1] Thatcher won the
fifth series of the reality show
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. In early 2009, she was removed from her on-air position at
BBC One after refusing to apologise for making an off-air comment backstage that was deemed a racial
pejorative about tennis player
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Excerpt:
The charity worker may have felt a little intimidated in the company of these big celebrities, but both Chiles and Brand were more than capable of saying something to the effect of, "Oi, Carol, that's well out of order". Indeed, reports suggest that they did take Thatcher to task at the time. But we are also led to believe by Hunt that they and/or others in the room went on to complain of their "huge offence" to a BBC executive producer the following day.

Snub for Obamas as Royal sources reveal they will not be invited to Prince William's wedding
By
Fay Schlesinger
Created 10:25 PM on 16th December 2010
- American President left off the guest list as it is not a 'state occasion'
- Royal couple eager to ask ordinary citizens to attend rather than VIPs
- Heads of State who may attend include Nicolas Sarkozy and wife Carla Bruni
President Obama and his wife Michelle will not be invited to Prince William's wedding next year.
Because Prince William is not yet heir to the throne, his wedding to Kate Middleton is not classed as a ‘state occasion’ – and the couple feel under no pressure to fill the 2,000-strong guest list with heads of state, the Mail understands.

Excerpt:
Bill Clinton told Ted Kennedy that Obama 'would be getting us coffee' a few years ago: 'Game Change'
BY HELEN KENNEDY
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Sunday, January 10, 2010
Bill Clinton helped sink his wife's chances for an endorsement from Ted Kennedy by belittling Barack Obama as nothing but a race-based candidate.
"A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee," the former president told the liberal lion from Massachusetts, according to the gossipy new campaign book, "Game Change."
The book says Kennedy was deeply offended and recounted the conversation to friends with fury.
After Kennedy sided with Obama, Clinton reportedly griped, "the only reason you are endorsing him is because he's black. Let's just be clear."
The revelations in "Game Change" are guaranteed to reopen the 2008 Clinton racial wounds that had been scabbing over amid his post-election public silence and his wife's high marks as Secretary of State.

Former U.S. president Bill Clinton has teamed with a reclusive Vancouver mining financier and a Mexican billionaire to create a massive charitable effort that will see the mining industry channel funds to fight poverty in areas affected by the resource sector.
Frank Giustra, who has made millions for himself and investors financing mining deals, has pledged $100-million (U.S) and half of all his future earnings from the mining business towards the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative (CGSGI). Carlos Slim Helu, a Mexican billionaire who made his fortune in the telecom industry has also committed $100-million towards the effort, which will initially focus on alleviating poverty and fostering growth in Latin America.
“I firmly believe that this innovative partnership between the Clinton Foundation and the business community – and the mining industry in particular – will have a profound and positive effect on the lives of countless people in the developing world during the months and years ahead,” Mr. Giustra, the 49-year-old son of a Sudbury miner and former head of Yorkton Securities, said in a statement.
Several large mining companies including zinc and copper producer Teck Cominco Ltd. and gold miner Newmont Mining Corp. have signed on as partners to the charity group which plans to expand its efforts beyond Latin America to other parts of the developing world.

Run Through The Jungle
Whoa, thought it was a nightmare,
Lo, it's all so true,
They told me, ";Don't go walkin' slow
'Cause Devil's on the loose.";CHORUS:
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Woa, Don't look back to see.
Thought I heard a rumblin'
Callin' to my name,
Two hundred million guns are loaded
Satan cries, ";Take aim!";
CHORUS
Over on the mountain
Thunder magic spoke,
";Let the people know my wisdom,
Fill the land with smoke.";
CHORUS
Whoa, thought it was a nightmare,
Lo, it's all so true,
They told me, "Don't go walking slow
'Cause Devil's on the loose."
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Woa, Don't look back to see.
Thought I heard a rumbling
Calling to my name,
Two hundred million guns are loaded
Satan cries, "Take aim!"
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Woa, Don't look back to see.
Over on the mountain
Thunder magic spoke,
"Let the people know my wisdom,
Fill the land with smoke."
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Woa, Don't look back to see
