Certain people were seeing red when they came across this Christmas Card at a leading UK Supermarket chain.  Davinia Phillips, a mother of three ginger kids went public with her complaint.  She didn’t like the discrimination against “gingerism”.  At first she was questioning herself if it was just her who was offended because she is a mother of gingers.

Her friends assured her that if the card had been about an obese kid, or a kid with glasses or braces that it would result in an uproar.  I disagree, I’d laugh my ass off if I saw cards of that nature.  That is VERY funny.  Kids shouldn’t be obese regardless.  The ginger thing is funny, she needs to get over it.  The kids are going to be fire crotches when they grow up.  When they start hooking up and experimenting in that type of stuff, the teasing will only get worse.  Better prepare them now for it.

Can I just add that I find it hilarious that in the UK they really are referred to as “gingers”?  That is some funny shit.  Okay now, on with what happened…

Phillips stated that just weeks ago her children came home from school upset because they were teased and called “ginger ninjas”.  She comforted them telling them that there’s nothing wrong with being a ginger or a ninja.  Really lady?  That’s what you tell your kids?

The Supermarket released a public apology about the Christmas card.  They said that they sell a large range of Christmas cards, some intending to be humorous.  This one was humorous all right.  This is like Ginger Day on For Ladies By Ladies!
