I'm pretty sure the offensive raciest word is "Jigaboo", not Jigaloo.

The product comes in a can and called Jigaloo. I dont know if they indeed get that from jigaboo. I dont even know what the latter means so will have to look up in wikipedia.
You think the company would change with the times ang give product a better name.

You do realize that, based on jke1234's information above, that by "change with the times" you are saying they should change the French-Canadian language. And, in fact, they do not get the name from jigaboo.

It's not a glue, it's a lubricant and after reading about what all it does...it sounds like a pretty cool product. All of that information and more are easily found on their website if you would have taken the time to research the product before posting a complaint. I think the ACLU has better things to do with their time...don't you?

I like that you googled Jigaloo. This bounty hunter is my kind of scum.
