Tesco’s bans Ginger jokes after ginger mum complains

Posted on 13/01/2010 by Leah


You can read the full story as reported in the news here.

I am rebelling against political correctness gone barmy!
People in the UK might recall recently the Xmas card that was withdrawn from Tesco’s after numerous people complained it was politically incorrect to say anything bad about ‘ginger haired people’.

My argument against that was what about all the stick blondes get re being a ‘dumb blonde?’

Though I suppose that’s acceptable as being a dumb blond can still you rise to the top, just look at Paris Hilton.

But perhaps people with red hair aren’t so fortunate?

Anyway all that aside, I have decided to make some politically INcorrect gag cartoon gift items. You can see my first few creations here

and for the Uk

Please do make a stand!!!

    Hey Leah, another Zazzle-ist eh?! I have mixed feelings on the whole PC thing (and not just because I use a Mac now). If some poor kid gets one less beating because Tesco lays off the red heads for a while then that’s all to the good. But… we don’t educate people by avoiding difference. I thought Paris Hilton was an expensive place for an overnight stay – turns out I was right.

    Yeah but no one can find me! I haven;t set up the shop element properly yet – my stuff is called Porn Vegetable ;oO – because of a suspect looking carrot I photographed years ago. Let me know if you can see my wares.

    Great article. There’s a lot of good data here, though I did want to let you know something – I am running Redhat with the latest beta of Firefox, and the design of your blog is kind of quirky for me. I can understand the articles, but the navigation doesn’t work so good.

    Thanks for writing about this. There’s a mass of good tech info on the internet. You’ve got a lot of that info here on your site. I’m impressed – I try to keep a couple blogs somewhat ongoing, but it’s a struggle sometimes. You’ve done a great job with this one. How do you do it?

    Hi Wendell

    Thanks :)

    I’ve been blogging a while now and of course I never sleep! So I just play about and edit, edit, edit basically. And yes it is a struggle keeping them going. At the moment though I am very motivated so this one is perhaps the most frequently updated blog I have.
