    Can we mention the Umbongo advert or will someone be offended on someone's behalf?

    I must have missed something, why would someone be offended?

    Nice people,
    to do business with.

    You mentioning radio....the big red building in petticoat lane...

    Obviously one that sticks in the memory for the wrong reasons and not a catch phrase (that I can remember) is the charlton radio ad that went on about dinosaurs or some such crap...

    I totally agree that Bongo Bongo Land is a pejorative term but, are these also racist?

    Is the PC term for bongos now "Percussion instruments with Afro-Cuban heritage".

    A child was suspended from school for taking a carton of Um Bongo to school with them in their packed lunch, and a health research watchdog spokesman had funding withdrawn from a local council for referring to gossip as 'jungle drums'. Is 'smoke signals' now racist because it might upset Native Americans?

    Has the world gone f*cking mad?
