The doll was descried as 'racist', it was aimed to be marketed to Rastafarians, including one names Bob Marley. There were several complaints and the Medley council intervened and banned these dolls. But a pole from Kent Online 85pc of the 1809 people said they didn't find the doll offensive.
I think this is an example of hard news, it shows the continuous story of racism in the UK, but also the history of black caricatures. So it appeals to an audience as 'Surveillance'.
