It was a pretty stupid thing to do, it was bound to upset someone.

It was a humourous card have we really got that bad in this country we can no longer look at something with a sense of humour it is really sad. Having spoken to three people i know with ginger hair they all laughed at it so i wonder if this is yet another case of some bitter twisted miserable git being offended on behalf of people they claim to represent. Tesco should have stood their ground and just said what it was and if you don't like it go and get a sense of humour preferably while looking for a life.

The woman's kids were more strawberry blonde than ginger, imho.

Not in a million years. Tesco would avoid doing anything that paints them in a bad light and any sort of discrimination accusation will get them taking action to be seen as 'all-encompassing'.

What a complete pratt that woman is, she really needs to get a life, and a sense of humour. Shame on Tesco as well.

Oh FYI, I married a ginger, and have two ginger daughters - they would laugh their heads off at that card.

It's funny but it's also pointless, why are people ridiculed for having Ginger hair? Because they're in a minority?

May aswell make a card saying Santa loves kids, even black ones.

my nephew has ginger hair ,i blame all the cheesy wotsits he rams down his throat;)

as for the card
its only funny if your not ginger and on that basis its probably right to remove it.

FFS. Are we all such pussies now that we take offence at a card?!
I`m a slaphead and if a card was brought out ridiculing `Baldies` i`d probably just laugh.! At least Ginger people have hair.:D
Why are people getting uptight about a card about santa and ginger kids?
If it was about santa and slapheads nobody would have complained.:erm:
Come on people, we`re all the same, whether our hair colour or lack of it or whatever.;)
