Tesco's Ginger card

[User removed 4]

Is this taking the piss out of gingers a recent phenomenon ? I cant remember such a fuss being made in the eighties , but then again i suppose weve made giant strides forward in hair dye technology etc, though the freckled forearms will always be a problem.

My kids are GINGERS but I couldn't care less about this card. I think my wife would though, she's a sensitive soul.

And Dave, glad to see you can larf at the pic with you and the other three poofs, seeing as you used to get into such a STROP over it not so long ago.

i am a lot older and going senile

I'm sorry, I just don't get the fuss about it. People will find anything to complain about.

If you don't like the card, don't ruddy buy it! It's a personal choice. Ultimately practically all humour is taking the piss out of someone or something, does that mean we should all take offence at anything remotely funny?

It's taking the piss out of something that someone has no ability to change.

Its not just that though is it, a couple of years ago there was a right binfest about BoF's Leon Knight avatar, ditto that SPECIAL Reading Runner neither of which we were allowed to laugh at and I'm sure posting the latter could result in a ban. I cannot really see the difference though between that Christmas card than those two.

what am i supposed to do ? panic ?

Whilst the card made me chuckle and it's a bit of a non-story, a card like that probably shouldn't be on sale in a mainstream store.

I think someone may have rattled his cage!

I come from a long line of gingers and would like to point out the following.

Ginger Blokes Have Bigger Cocks than normal people.

Whatever your bird tells you. She will have discovered this for herself once and is not telling you because she doesnt want you to feel inadequate.

If you dont believe me. Look at HRH Prince Harold. Lady Di went Ginger but her secret lives on.

I was going to say, I think this is the issue here.

You will find plenty of cards poking fun at all kinds of people in "edgy" shops in places like Brighton.

Gay humour, fat humour, ginger humour etc.

It shouldn't have been in Tesco's.

Don't agree at all. Tesco is not state-run, it is a market enterprise, and should be allowed to stock whatever it wants. If the 'edgy' shops in Brighton can carry it, why not Tesco?

There's all kinds of things that people can get offended by if they want. Fortunately most people have a sense of perspective.

I'm just saying with Tesco's consumer base, something like this was likely to happen, and I doubt it's worth Tesco's while to have this "furore".

I'm not calling for a BAN on them selling the cards, just saying it's not appropriate to have a "mature" (ironic, as it well izunt mature) humour card in Tesco's. Not a card for kids, is it?

As it would not be appropriate to sell hardcore pornographic books in Mothercare. But then Mothercare isn't state-run, so they can stock whatever they want, correct?

Quite. I went into one of the shops in Kensington Gardens to buy a card that said, "You Love Cock" for a girl friend of mine because I knew that's where I could buy a card like that. Suffice to say, I didn't pop into Tesco Express on Jubilee St on the way to see if they had it to save me the walk!

Obviously I'm a proug GINGE, and not in one little bit bothered about it from a personal point of view. My 'name' in my football team [of 15 years] is 'Ginge'.

Every kid at school will get a bit of ribbing - if it's not 'ginger' or 'carrot top' or 'duracell', it will be 'chubby' or 'skinny' or 'hand-me-downs' or 'smelly' or 'gayer', etc, etc.

None of this makes Tescos cashing in on such 'humour' RIGHT. Whilst it doesn't bother me, I really wouldn't want my little boy to see it.
