STILLER: 'KIDDIE CHARACTER IS NOT RACIST'

BEN STILLER has fallen victim to the subtle language differences between Britain and America - after he was accused of entertaining his kids with derogatory tales about African-Americans.
The funnyman has revealed he created a wacky character, called Diaperhead, to get giggles from his kids, Ella and Quinlin, only to discover his idea had been renamed 'Nappyhead' overseas.
He explains, "An article was written about Diaperhead in England and apparently the diaper is called a nappy in England. I would not do a character called Nappyhead."
