They've changed the page, it used to show a pic of the card, a ginger kid sitting on Santa's knee with the words, "Santa loves every child, even gingers" or summat.

i think they should issue the same card but aimed at fat kids, then ones with glasses on, then one that can use a computer better than the other kids in the class. they would be best sellers...

As a wee ginger lad, I can honestly say that woman is a wining bitcg lol. I saw that card and a friend gave me a similiar one and I pmsl.
Some gingers are pathetic and take things to seriously, the only ones who winge can't think of a great comebak, like me. E.G:
Mate: No one likes a ginger
Me: Your mum didn't seem to mind
No, 'cuz as a fat ginger kid who can use a computer, I..... well tbh i still wouldn't care lol

well i can tell you first hand there are no funny smells from me or any other ginger, maybe its the shite you have stuck on your top lip.
I dont give a shit though, when i was younger if someone even attempted to take the piss out of my hair i would chin them and be done with it but now i just laugh because if people have nothing better to do than laugh at a hair colour then they must have a really sad and lonely life.

yep. it was blatant lies. even parents dont love ginger kids.
and as for dyeing? a girl i knew (although i kept it a secret)had the bright copper ginger hair and dyes would mix badly and come out strange colours so that wasnt really an option either.
that only leaves a wig, a shaver or a hat as an option.

srawberry blondes are the half way there gingers with a tint noticeable in direct sunlight ,theyre not so bad ,its the bright copper coloured wire wool head people that are truely offensive and should be banned.
when my kids were born my 2 main worries for them were any disability or ginger hair as i myself was inflicted with a strawberry blonde redish tint in my childhood. luckily i went gray early and am now bald as thats less embarrasing than being ginger.

If they could have left that on the shelf, then they should have been able to have cards with ''santa loves all children, even Pakis'' or ''even niggers''. etc. Discriminate one you discriminate against all the rest!
