Ginger Abuse

There was a South Park episode dedicated to this. And you know if they take a poke at it, it must be real.
 
There were a couple South Park episodes with that theme actually; and I read somewhere that Parker and Stone got the idea from an advertising poster they saw in England or something like that.
 
i can't believe you people are saying you've never heard of this. it's been going for YEARS...

where have you been living? under ayer's rock?!

Scotland, actually, where there are so many they're practically the majority. Ergo they don't get any more abuse than anyone else.
 
Also, as far as I'm aware it's a regressive gene, so gingers are dying out. Asian women (those of inian decent) dont carry the gene so you will never see a true Ginger indian.

So you're saying never travel to Scotland unless you want to catch the Ginge? Gotcha.

This seems an apt time to post this.

Red heads are normally really skinny, stick-like people with a lot of freckles, very light skin and barely there boobs.

I don't mind redheads at all and have a few ginger buddies myself. I don't see the big deal in them.
 
Kids don't look for groups to pick on. They pick on everyone.
Yes, unless they're influenced by the bigotry of their parents or other adults, kids generally don't pick on members of other groups. They just pick on fat kids and retards.

In my schools it was always a real taboo to pick on handicapped kids. In fact, it was likely that you would get your ass kicked for doing such a thing.

Fat kids and social nerds? Free reign, of course. But not the disabled kids.

I don't know where you live, but that is untrue where I do. Almost every ginger/redhead had the largest natural busts of anyone.

I guess that is a contributing factor as to why there wasn't much 'ginger abuse' in my area.

I remember that as well. But usually it was some bully who would suddenly become outraged.

I just hate the term "ginger" for redheads.

Damn you Bob. I saw this thread before finishing work, decided that I would post the youtubbe video for this up and I get in and low and behold, you've already posted it. :p

He is brilliant though. My GF (who is a red head) introduced me to him and we plan on seeing him at somepoint when he does a gig in Blighty again.

Most of the ones here are very tiny, resulting in pimple sized boobage. Not all, but most (or at least the majority of ones I have seen, but I know a few who have ample boobage)

I hadn't really witnessed anyone making fun of gingers when I was in high school so I don't know if it is some sort of weird new thing.

I also shouldn't have used the word 'normally', that wasn't really accurate.

Apologies, had I known I would have... well I'd have probably posted it anyway.
Yeah, he's great. Got both of his dvds and would love to see him, I think he was in York last time and I wanted to go but couldn't afford the tickets at the time.

I wonder if it's imported culture from us, though I think the first time I heard "Beat you like a red headed stepchild" was on an American show.
 
We have a standout freshmen basketball player on the UNM Lobos this year.. Very tall, very talented and very ginger.. The local talk show hosts have started calling him "Gingy" after the Shrek character..
 
one of my best friends growing up was a super tall, freckly guy with bright orange hair.
he was one of the most popular guys in school
 
i know a SMOKING readhead and she's very well blessed, so not all ginger's lack boobage.

although Karen Gillen, on t'other hand is tall, skinny and flat-chested.

and then Catherine Tate is tall, curvaceous and red-headed, like Christina Hendricks. who, IIRC, isn't a natural ginger.
 
I know a ginger girl too who's very well endowed and very curvy. Calling her "reedy" would show a serious lack of understanding of what the term means.
 
. . . I don't buy any argument linking redheads to ancient satanic beliefs that occurred half a millennium ago, seems to me there's some social, behavioral or just instinctive component to make people "lash out" onto redheads or lust after them nightly. ;)
You went back and fixed it, but you can't deny you originally wrote "half a century ago." It's on the record! Nyah nyah . . .

Tell that to Rita Hayworth, Maureen O'Hara and Ann-Margret.

It's "free rein," as in letting go of a horse's reins. (See Grammar Nazis thread.)
