A POLITICALLY INCORRECT TEDDY BEAR

A popular children's book about a teddy bear called Bromley who climbs Uluru has incensed Aborigines and reignited the debate over who controls Australia's most recognisable and famous natural feature. Aborigines living around Uluru, or Ayers Rock as it used to be known, say the book is insulting to their beliefs and should be withdrawn from sale or rewritten without reference to climbing the rock.
Maybe a Golliwog would have been OK. More here.
