Last Friday, while I was recovering from my midnight movie sojourn, redheads around the country were being attacked as the result of a Facebook posting that declared November 20th “Kick a Ginger Day.”
Believed to be inspired by an episode of “South Park” on Comedy Central, the posting brought some serious hurt down upon students with red hair in Los Angeles and Vancouver who were kicked repeatedly as they walked down the halls.
I have never felt so left out of anything in my life.
I have red hair. I’ve been a natural red head for almost 10 years now, and last Friday, I was out and about in the neighborhood in plain sight several times….but no attacks. Not even a suspicious following by someone with a lead pipe or tree branch.
Do these “Ginger Day” celebrants discriminate against people who have to buy their hair color? That seems hardly fair. It’s still red. Or are they such cowards they only pick on small children? Scared of what will happen when an adult ginger opens a big can of whoop ass on you, huh?
Well, you should be. Fake hair color or not, red heads are a force to be reckoned with, and should never be ignored.
Especially now that we have our own holiday.
