Subject: RE: BS: Tommy Teirnan - raving racist or what?
I'm not sure you do - Robertsons Jam don't do satire, they make Jam.
Their Logo is a gollywog.
That isn't satire either, it exaggerates black racial characteristics and has no other context.
If a sketch or story existed in which an idiot was portrayed laughing at a gollywog and his derisive attitude was exaggerated and lampooned realistically, that might be an example of satire.
A gollywog on its own however is a caricature of black racial characteristics that does not include black people in the joke but rather belittles and insults them.
There is no satire in golly's or in Robertsons Jam.
