Not my fault they have no soul.

And there we have it.

Once again the loudest cries are from people being offended on behalf of other people.

Any child would be upset by the sugestion they might not be loved. You don't have to ginger, or indeed remotly itelligent to see why that might be the case.

The main difference is racial insults are generally said with venom not in jest... There's a big difference between a humerus remake made to a friend/audience you know will see it as humour and just randomly making fun of the darkies.

When kids wont sit at a table with a 'ginger haired' kid, or hairdressers wont cut their hair - is that still 'jest'?
AND
So why is ok to PUBLISH a christmas card? Thats hardly a joke between mates...

Tefal is just ignorant and finds it all hirrarious...

That's because they smell of wee.

Yet it would be acceptable to say blacks smell of ......?

If I have another child and for some reason it turns out to be a 'ginger', I'd probably drown it in a bucket.

A Doctor goes into a hospital ward to see a pregnant lady who has had terrible stomach cramps and fears for the unborn child...

"Well, my dear, there's good news and bad news. We've run some tests and the bad news is that your baby has ginger hair."

"Oh no!" she replies. "What's the good news?"

The Doctor replies, "It's dead."

Not to the people it's being done to. It still makes my skin crawl when people make a deal out of my hair colour to my face. You may well think it's funny, and even make it in jest, but you've got to be aware of your audience and the potential consequences if you're trying to be funny. Would you make a dead baby joke to a woman recently-traumatised by a miscarriage?

No, and if i knew you well enough to be sending you a Christmas card I wouldn't send you this one as I'd know you'd be offended.

I'd send you one featuring this

Laughing at ginger kids: the last acceptable form of discrimination.

My hair colour is sort of half ginger, half brown, and when I was little, I was ostracised and made fun of and made to feel like crap because of it. It's not funny, it's not clever, it doesn't even make any sense.

And I can do without being reminded of those times thank you very much.

i just googled this trying to find said card and buy it.. I'm bitterly disappointed.

PhillyDee · 15 Dec 2009 at 15:06

Did this woman also complain ab out the catherine tate sketches and try to get them banned? Where was the outcry? Why wasnt there a witch hunt. Same thing.

You willingly want to look at a ginner?

Sic · 15 Dec 2009 at 15:07

And now I remember why I don't post here anymore. If I wanted to talk to ignorant morons, I'd hang out at the newsagent and strike up conversations with people buying the Daily Mail.

Tefal and Azagoth, I remember not too long ago, you guys weren't total douchebags - what happened to that?
