There's something about that phrase "a mother of three gingers" that tickles the very cockles of my laughter valves.

"The ASA subsequently received three complaints that the ad was offensive to people with ginger hair because it suggested that they are not attractive."

3 (three) complaints.

[Bogus Dave]

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

[Bennett]

i'm not taking the opinion of a ginger, shut up

[LucienSanchez]

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!

[Simon Pieman]

Santa Clause isn't real. Does that mean that nobody loves ginger kids?

[RobertT]

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?

There's something about your phrasing that rummages around in the depths of my giggle glands
