‘Golliwog wrapping paper has appeared on the shelves of a popular chain store.
Race Relations Commissioner Joris de Bres said the paper, retailing for $2 at Look Sharp stores, was likely to cause offence…’
Getting a bit desperate, are you? Trying to pretend you’re somehow useful and relevant? Go get a proper, productive job, you leeching waste of fucking space, instead of using taxpayer’s money to help sow division and resentment. You are not in any way the solution to any problem. You – and others like you – ARE the problem. Your mealy-mouthed pronouncements help cause offence where none exists (none, among ordinary people possessed of a modicum of humour and commonsense, that is) and you make a comfortable living from that. I find it difficult to imagine a lower form of life. Given the choice I’d re-locate you to place more suited to your integrity and your talents. The bottom of the Marianas Trench, for example.
What’s even worse, this prick says that golliwogs “have caused offence in some places overseas”, as though that’s somehow relevant.
Well, girls going to school has “caused offence” in some places overseas. Perhaps in the interests of multicultural harmony Kiwis should take note of that ‘logic’ and begin beheading schoolgirls…….
Jeez, I hate these bastards.
The only golliwog which causes me any offence lives in The White House!
A true “Black and White Minstrel Show” if ever there was one
Just wondering what it is you have against the poor creatures at the bottom of the Marianas trench, KG?
None probably but fun feeding sharks.
Or sea lice
Big ups for the guy from Tainui though…”I think it is nonsense…who cares whether someone has Golliwog wrapping? There are more important things in life and around the world to get concerned about than people worried about whether someone calls someone else a `Golliwog’ or is wrapping presents in Golliwog wrapping [paper].”
De Bres knows that without his little taxpayer funded fascist outpost he would end up on the scrap heap like Georgina.
“De Bres knows that without his little taxpayer funded fascist outpost he would end up on the scrap heap like Georgina.”
I can just imagine the quote now: “I’ve spent twenty years telling people what to think, and apparently that is worth nothing!”
Here is a strange question:
What is a golliwog?
Same as a “jiggerboo.”
You have Jiggerboos? I didn’t know.
So you guys and gals down under are having your very own version of the Aunt Jemima controversy huh?

She/was/is still supposedly offense to blacks to which I say pass the Syrup!
Katie,
I would be thrilled to send you a Gollywog, I used to make and sell them years ago, I still have all the materials to make some so just say the word. ( You want one too Gecko??)
YES please Medusa, I’d love one!
Love one.
YES please Medusa, I’d love one!
WHY is Joris de Bres still in office? For that matter, why does his office still exist?
Good questions–and I suspect the answer is:
John Key is a gutless socialist posing as an alternative to Labour.
You’ve got to look at why he got the job in the first place. Basically, while pretending to be a Marxist, for being the Judas Goat and selling the membership of the PSA (public service association, the civil servants ‘union’)of which he was ‘Central Operations Manager’ at the time, down the river by gleefully going along with every ministerial demand for vicious cuts in the number of employees across all government departments. Watch for him getting a ‘K’ next, followed by an even more pleasant job alongside his fellow trougher Helen Klark at the UN.
