Ginge? Check. Freckles? Check. Green eyes? Check (ish). Irish? Sort of!

My stepson has a lovely mop of ginger hair and has all his life and yet he laughed at this and thought it was funny and i also see the humour in it, is it good taste no but then please no one on here try telling me you have never laughed at a bad taste joke we have all done it. We really are getting up our own backsides in this country taking everything so seriously and being oh so careful not to offend anyone pretty soon it will be easier to keep your mouth shut in public.

Oh just in case someone wants to launch the whole "you wouldn't feel like that if you were ever ridiculed" thing i have lost count of how many times people have made hunchback jokes around me due to my disability (that is one of the polite examples of the ridicule i get) and you know what i laugh along with them because life is too damn short to keep getting wound up about every little comment and people that do obviously have nothing better to do. Life is a lot easier with a smile then a frown shame were forgetting that more and more in the serious UK.

Go read my post again. I have two ginger daughters.

I'll repeat. The woman is just sad. People really need to get a sense of humour

I can only attest to what I've seen in the class room and playground.

Yes we all need to develop a thick skin in life..but some of us apparently have to develop it twice as fast when we are seen as fair game.Having a little bit of a poke at people is one thing..when it becomes an on going hate campaign that's another especially when it's about physical attributes which are things we are born with and cannot alter easily.

I guess we should ask Randy Newman to write another tongue in cheek song about ginger headed people to match his Short People masterpiece.
