In Australia, there was a show quite a few years back called Hey, Hey, it's Saturday. Well, Channel 9 decided to do a two-part revival, just because they could. Anyway, there was one particular skit performed which was a tribute to the Jackson 5, where people had their faces painted black, and one white to represent Michael Jackson. The video can be seen on Youtube, last time I checked it was one of the most watched.
Anway, Harry Connick Jr was there as a judge and gave it a zero, because he thought it was racist. Make your own decision.

Note: Australians have a strange sense of humour that only we seem to get. Except maybe the Kiwis.
