Being in the US I haven't seen this, but having seen that picture and looked at the links it's hard for me not to share Mother's opinion. I could almost see how someone might find this sort of thing amusing if this character bore some slight resemblence to Michael Jackson - maybe, although that is stretching it. But Michael Jackson neither speaks like that , nor does he look like that, having had all traces of being black removed by surgical means. As it stands, it seems little more than race-baiting.
