Good luck to him, imo. Everyone else seems to be deciding they don't quite get it either.

Actually, there's an unintentionally amusing article in The Guardian today outraged about a golliwog revival. The author seems wholly unaware that the real reason the golliwog has never gone away is because of people like her trying to make it go away. It has thus acquired a cachet of rebellion and defiance it would never otherwise have had. Indeed, the main reason anyone now would own or sell a golliwog is to p1ss off people like her :hehe:
