I heard them talking on TV about that this morning. As they said if it had have been aimed towards an overweight child or a child of another race it would be discrimination.

 How rude! And the kid on the card is really cute, too, at least in my opinion.

I don't think it is funny at all & would never give a card like that to anyone.

Its funny in a sad kinda way that Ginga's still get a hard time and have done so long before anyone had seen a black or overweight kid.

Man, what is with all the ginger-bashing! I would have thought people would be over it by now. It's just such a mean, lame way to get laughs.

Bit the same as any blonde joke IMO, I personally can't see it being really offensive. *shields herself*

My DH thought it was hilarious, but then we are highly likely to have ginger kidlets so I guess we have to learn to laugh about it.
I was slightly offended being redhead and all, not sure why people are giving gingers stick these days, I rememember I used to have so many people compliment my hair!

I'm in the I don't think its that bad group. DP works with a ginga and he actually mocks himself. But then this guy also is under DPs phonebook as "the red sl ut" so go figure. Agreed it could upset a child
