Fuck you, I think it's hilarious! ;) Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 07:48:30 Tesco has today apologized after stocking a card on the shelves offensively reading "Santa loves all children. Even ginger ones".
They have assured all customers that the member of staff who mis-spelt "except" has been sacked. :D Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: Bennett on Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 07:58:18 "I just thought 'What is so funny about that?' I didn't really get the joke"
she's a retard, some prankster has put an information leaflet infront of the real cards Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 09:26:03 I nearly brought this card for Mr Mulley - True story!
Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: Melksham Red on Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 11:22:40 I'm ginger and find it funny as fuck. However, change the word ginger to black, is that still ok?
Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: dell boy on Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 11:26:53 They are still on sale in Asda, if it is not exactly the same card it is very similar.
Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: BANGKOK RED on Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 11:28:12 Quote I DO NOT LOVE THE GINGER ONES, SAYS SANTA 15-12-09 SANTA Claus last night condemned ginger haired children, insisting they freak him out and will never be welcome at the North Pole. Santa issued an angry statement after it emerged the supermarket chain Tesco was selling Christmas cards claiming he regarded ginger children as being equal to other kinds of children. He said: "I want to make it absolutely clear that I do not love the ginger ones. In fact, I hate them. They make me physically sick. "Whenever I see one I get totally creeped out. It's like their little ginger fingers are crawling all over my body. And they smell absolutely revolting. "Occasionally one of them will wake up during the night and I'll drop down the chimney only to find myself face to face with this abomination. "They give my reindeers the most appalling diarrhea and the elves suffer from horrifying, vivid nightmares which, as I'm sure you can imagine, leads to some very disturbing toys. "Couldn't we make them all go and live on the Isle of Man or something? Or what about Wales? That would certainly make me a lot jollier." But Davinia Phillips, a mother of three gingers from York, has complained to Tesco insisting the card contravenes her right to have everything exactly the way she wants it all the time and to never be annoyed by anything. Santa added: "Everyone knows that if you hug a ginger child it will explode." http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/i-do-not-love-the-ginger-ones%2c-says-santa-200912152310/ Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 11:31:18 But Davinia Phillips, a mother of three gingers from York, has complained to Tesco insisting the card contravenes her right to have everything exactly the way she wants it all the time and to never be annoyed by anything
:D Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: Dazzza on Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 18:18:41 There's something about that phrase "a mother of three gingers" that tickles the very cockles of my laughter valves.

Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: Bogus Dave on Thursday, December 17, 2009, 08:03:41 And as we know each complaint equates to a billion people. So three billion people found this card offensive.
If i can just put on my serious hat for a moment, as an (almost) fully grown adult i found nowt wrong with this card, and in fact raised a smile. The issue's not with adults though, it gives further ammunition for ginger kids to get bullied. And whichever way you dress it up, that can't be a good thing Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: Bennett on Thursday, December 17, 2009, 08:33:36 i'm not taking the opinion of a ginger, shut up
Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: LucienSanchez on Thursday, December 17, 2009, 09:18:27 I nearly brought this card for Mr Mulley - True story! you should have, complete with choc orange - oh how I'd have loved you for such generosity! Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, December 17, 2009, 21:09:47 Santa Clause isn't real. Does that mean that nobody loves ginger kids?
Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: RobertT on Thursday, December 17, 2009, 22:40:40 Surely the card is actually trying to start an outreach campaign the bring the gingers back into the human race, which should be applauded. If Santa likes them, then maybe we can all begin to put our prejudices aside?
Title: Re: Tesco In Trouble Post by: Talk Talk on Thursday, December 17, 2009, 22:51:39 There's something about that phrase "a mother of three gingers" that tickles the very cockles of my laughter valves. There's something about your phrasing that rummages around in the depths of my giggle glands ;D |
