I'll never understand the UK's obsession with picking on ginger-haired people :roll:

I'd always thought it was because ginger haired people were the first obvious immigrants into the local population.

My best guess is people seeing how far they can push someone before they crack, which is usually an impressive outcome with a redhead - not to mention much-deserved, usually :lol:

See, that's just it, it's the fact this card picks out a particular subset of kids that annoys me, whereas I've seen cards on all sorts of 'dodgy' subjects that were still funny... Humour's all about how far and where you take it IMO
