'Tintin in the Congo' sales soar after racism row - Yahoo! News UK

however..... "Sales of a Tintin comic book have rocketed since the Commission for Racial Equality claimed it was racist, a newspaper reported Saturday"

No doubt a case of people buying up the book as a way of sticking two fingers up at the CRE!

Apparently the book implied some African's lived in a primative manner, when of course in reality its a hugely sophisticated and developed nation, and this talk of mud huts and spears is just all rumors spread by jealous Westerner's..

 

Yet they still sell this

I saw the first Gollywog on sale that I've seen in ages last weekend.

I take it they're going to ban every bit of classical literature. The people who come out with rot like this are on par with the ****'s - all they need to do is build a bonfire out of them...

 

Dambusters is on just now, i wonder if the dog has still had a change of name, sad really the events took place some 60+ years ago and it cannot be portrayed as it really was yet on MTV and cop show black guys can go around calling each other n***er as much as they want.

Double standards and just creats more problems with the PC *****

It was the name of Guy Gibsons dog on 1944 FFS!

 

The people or the books?

 

My granddad's house used to be painted ****** brown! It was the official name for the colour.

ROFL!

Hope Bernard Manning is reincarnated soon... all this PCness is beyond a joke.

 

Class , i cant imagine Dulux having that in their range now . I am not racist but nobody can deny that is funny.

Imagine the uproar of trying to pass that on a building contract these days.

Almost as funny as the word negro being removed from the outside of the tins of black shoe polish, it says it in all other languages still but obviously someone has picked up on it and decided its racist even though in some countries black is called negro.

The world has gone PC mad.

 

to build a bonfire? - the books.. although I'd rather if we did just burn the people

 

Tintin..... responsible for 'naming' that tuft of hair baldies seem to like to keep growing

 

and a useful nickname for a guy with a 1" c*ck. 2" would of course make him 'Justin'
