Gingerism is the new Racism

[Mick Mac]

"Santa loves all children, even ginger ones."

You can't get away with that these days.....no more jokes please.

[????]

You been watching NTNON Mick?

[Mick Mac]

Yes - not capable of original thought you see.

I'll be passing on Al Murray jokes next.

I would love to buy a copy of that card!! It's funny.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Too right. Ginger Power will dominate the 2nd decade.

Ginger is a word that has been pretty much dropped from popular vocabulary - my daughther has bright orange (ginger) hair and all she ever hears is "haven't you got lovely hair" so I reckon the ginger correction has gone so far the other way she might not have to deal with much "gingerism".

Anyway as far as she is concerned her hair is orange and its a brave man who would tell her different.

I work with a girl who has stunning ginger hair. When she first joined, after about 2 weeks of calling her by her proper name and not getting much of a response she confessed that all her mates just call her Ginge.

We did the "we could never call you that" but she insisted. So now we all do and its dead funny when you forget and do it infront of clients.

Is it on the wane? Or becoming more mainstream?

This week, the ASA banned Virgin Media's ad: 'How do you spot a ginger in the dark?', for being 'seriously offensive' and likely to cause prejudice.

[Brendan]

Prejudice? Because of the colour of someone?s hair?

Fuck off.

Thats what i was getting at. The G word is the latest word you cant use. In all honesty i have only heard it used a couple of times in our daughters 4 years.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

What's the bleedin' answer? How do you spot a ginger in the dark?

[KalamityKel]

Still perfectly acceptable to slate blondes tho... tsk!

[PeckhamRose]

Didn't Catherine Tate do this to death in that overlong sketch?

And wasn't the fact she was making an issue of it, helping to make an issue of it?

Another example of gingerism with affection: I read a lovely story recently about some teenage boys running a charity relay after one of them recovered from cancer. His friend suggested they call themselves 'Team Jaffa Cake' because although he'd lost his ginger hair he was still orange on the inside.

Don't get me started on baldies

Oh and flip over in "denial" baldies ( Bobby Charlton stylee )

And....and......

W**F

[charliecharlie]

first we had the 'blond' jokes, then the 'ginger'.... I'm keeping my head down as looks like it will be brunettes next...

mind you I've always thought brunettes are the foxiest...http://photo.missbimbo.com/1/425/moy/339441.jpg happy christmas boys!

Ginge has more than one meaning, as in ginger beer .........if I had that colour hair I would prefer to be called titian or red.

Mick - the feeble minded will pick on whatever they can get away with
