Stuff reports that Tesco have had to withdraw this Xmas Card.

I presume they withdrew it, because Samta complained it was not true.

Kick a Ginger Day

Thursday, November 26th, 2009 at 8:35 am

AP reports:

CALABASAS, California — Authorities say there were at least five attacks on red-haired students at a Southern California middle school after a Facebook group announced “Kick a Ginger Day.”

However, nobody was seriously hurt and no arrests were made.

How very stupid. They should know not to actually kick Gingas in case they catch Gingervitis.

Investigators say the Facebook message may have been inspired by a South Park TV episode that satirised racial prejudice by portraying a campaign against red-haired, fair-skinned “ginger” people.

Good grief. That episode aired in 2005. And back then it was also blamed.

In that episode, Cartman organises all the gingas to start killing non-gingas as they are not members of the master race. So will someone also blame Southpark for any murders of brunettes?

Greer on Gingas

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009 at 10:25 am

Greer McDonald gets asked:

My brother and members of my family are ginger, and I know in my heart of hearts I carry a recessive ginger gene and there is a chance I will have ginger children myself.

At what state in a dating/relationship scenario do I need to admit this to my beau? Some friends say it should be at the first coffee, but I’d hate to scare them off before they know my redeeming features (I have quite nice toes, for example).

Please help.

Not this is serious issue. I tend to think it should be mandatory disclosure at a first date. Maybe even a criminal offence not to disclose – like with certain communicable diseases.

What do others think?

More proof that gingas are evil

Sunday, August 16th, 2009 at 10:18 am

The Timaru Herald reports:

The study, published in the Journal of the American Dental Association has suggested that gingers are more than twice as likely to avoid a visit to the dentist.

The research found redheads are typically more sensitive to pain and require about 20 per cent more anaesthesia during dental visits. …

We should breed them out. Don’t allow them to have children and we’ll have a better society.

Red hair gets its distinctive colour from the pigment pheomelanin. Gingers get their red locks from a mutation in a gene called melanocortin-1 receptor.

Proof gingas are mutants. And not the cool ones like Wolverine either!
