Being quasi ginger myself (facial hair only) I think this off color Christmas card is hilarious:
A LEADING UK supermarket chain has withdrawn a Christmas card that poked fun at "gingers'' after claims of discrimination.Davinia Phillips, a mum of three flame-haired children, saw red when she came across a card which stated: "Santa loves all kids. Even ginger ones.''
She lodged a complaint with the store and went public to defend redheads everywhere against "gingerism''.
"I kept thinking is it me because I've got ginger kids and I'm a bit over-reactive mother?'' she told BBC television.
"But everybody I've spoken to said if that had of been about an obese child, or a child with glasses, or a child with braces, or a coloured child, then there would be a massive uproar.''
Ms Phillips, 30, from York, added that a few weeks ago her children returned from school upset because they had been called "ginger ninjas''.
People in the UK seem to have a fixation on the gingers; here's a hilarious bit by Catherine Tate that takes it to the next level:
