I think that award went to the Harry Potter vibrating broom.

Easily the ear-splittingly LOUD NEE-NAW-NEE-NAW Fire Engine that my little lad does my napper in with. The one that the judge let me off with glassing everyone within sight,on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

Those are pretty mental, although I dunno about anyone else, but I never equated Golly to being a prototype for black people?? To my mind Golly was a ridiculous cartoon black person in the way that there were any number of ridiculous cartoon white people. To my young mind, "wog" was something nasty people took from "Gollywog" to call black folks, rather than Gollywig being a racist reference in itself. Kinda goes to prove a lot about parents projecting their fears onto their kids. (I ADORE that episode of South Park about changing the town's racist flag of 4 white blokes hanging a black chap....the kids are against it cos they don't see a problem with it, rather than this being because they're a bunch of KKKadets, it turns out that they don't see 4 white guys hanging a black guy, just four guys hanging a guy)
