Lunchtime Quickie: Don't Use Your Cell While Driving or... GINGERS WILL HAVE SEX?

Posted by on Thu, Apr 1, 2010 at 12:15 PM

WTF Australia?! I know making fun of redheads is pretty trendy right now, but this commercial takes it too far. And no, this isn't an April Fool's joke. GINGERS DO HAVE SOULS! (and sex).

How I wish that it worked, not the driving while using the phone, but that someone using the phone meant that I got to get fresh every time.

Granted, my hair is red/blonde or copper-ish. So, maybe I would not really qualify and I get left out.

Ginger hate is the weirdest thing. I really can't get my head around it.

@4: Um, because it's hard to talk right when you're upside-down?

I'm torn between being offended by this ad and wishing it were true.

In your opinion, Fifty-Two-Eighty. I find accents quite debilitating.

I find women hanging by their heels quite debilitating, Kimmie. Volunteers are currently being accepted.

You have to admit that two gingers having sex with each other is pretty disgusting. Like incest or something. Yuck!

@3: Me too. I think ginger guys are fucking hot.

@#11 - As a red-headed girl, I agree. I actually find most red-headed guys repulsive. They look like my brother, and I don't even have a brother.

I love gingers. They are the best cookie too.

Good luck on that, FTE. I can't help you... I'm the type who likes to do the restraining and to induce the pleading.

Seriously? Redheads are hot, male and female. Kate Walsh, Marcia Cross, Amy Adams -- all hotter as redheads.

Red heads are my favorite type of guy to check out. Very few are actually hot, but I love their hair. I don't understand ginger hate.

I was going to post about how offensive this ad is, but kim just made me all hot.

@4 Mae, we don't (shrug). We don't even hate redheads (mmm, redheads), I think it's an English thing that impressionable young tools see on TV and imitate... As someone who grew up reading R A Heinlein, I can't see how anyone can hate redheads.

"I was going to post about how offensive this ad is, but kim just made me all hot."

Aw... Thanks, Sepiloida. You made me smile. And, after watching the linked news report, I'm not going to be offended by this ad, since we "Gingers" are said to be known for having high IQ, pale skin, and for being great in bed.

Take care.

Who still calls redheads "gingers" ? I thought that went out of fashion along with the term "negroes" back in the Sixties.
