South Park Not Available In England

December 15th, 2009 Posted in Oddities

Poor Tesco.. they walked right into it. First, here’s what happened after a South park episode last year

BBC: British Tesco’s Christmas card was taken off the shelves in York, England, after customers complained that it made fun of redheads, or “gingers” as the Brits call them.

One redhead woman saw it and said: “I thought maybe it was just me because I am a mother of kids with red hair, but a lot of my friends and other people I know, we are absolutely disgusted. Society comes down hard on how people look and there are so many children these days who are bullied because of how they look. If the card had been about an overweight child then the shop would have been shut down, and so would the people who made the card.”

Save A Ginger… Santa would ask as much.

    I think if the South Park guys could have a mulligan on any episode they have ever done, I think it would be the ginger episode. The best is the spoof of Lord of the Rings, or Cartman as Dog the Bounty Hunter.

    Laugh at the gingers, but they will be one of the last visible reminders of Anglo Saxon heritage before Merry old England drowns in a swamp of mocha skin, and scruffy black beards.

    Nice blog. I got a lot of effective data. I’ve been keeping an eye on this technology for awhile. It’s interesting how it keeps changing, yet some of the core factors stay the same. Have you seen much change since Google made their latest acquisition in the arena?
