Subject: Just when you think, that people couldn't be bigger, jerks...

Written By: JamieMcBain on 11/27/08 at 9:38 pm

Apparently there is now a National Kick A Ginger Kid Day.

Thhere is ever a Facebook page.

All I can say is that some people, have way too much time on their hands.

::)

People don't have that much time on their hands, it's because who doesn't want to kick a ginger?  ;)

Canadian Columbine anyone?

Les' see... on November 20th I was wearing steel toe boots and carrying a 20oz framing hammer, a razor knife, ratcheting conduit cutters, a pair of 9" linesman pliers, about 2lbs of 1 1/2" coarse thread drywall screws and a drywall jab saw. It would have been soooo hilarious if someone had tried to kick this 'ginger'.  ::)

it's cruel and bullies don't need much of a reason to hurt other kids.  but I have to admit that the South Park episode was funny

I take it that you are in the dry wall business.

I don't watch South Park myself.  Kids and other people that might not understand end up doing stupid things like kicking people and don't understand it's not the kicking other people that makes it funny.

My husband has red hair (What's left of it) and goes around quoting that saying all the time.
My daughter get's mad when we tell her that her baby will have red hair

Why abuse ginger kids?  I like red heads.  You can't bottle the hair color you know.  Stupid bullying, pathetic. ::)

Sort of... I do phone and data installation. Occasionally I have to move drywall out of my way or attach lines to it.

You must be a drywall guy.  ;D

Well, South Park is not recommended for children even though it appears to be about kids.  I grew up watching Popeye and Bluto and Tom & Jerry beating the pulp out of each other.  I also grew up in the organic world of cause and effect.  Once you get a taste of real-life violence, such as flying over the handlebars of your bike or getting a beatdown from the neighborhood bullies, you instantly understand real-life violence is not at all like cartoon violence.  If a child can't figure that out, I'd say the parents are doing something wrong. 

Adults who see South Park and say, "Now there's a great idea!," are a menace to all humankind!

Maybe letting their children watch shows made for grownups.

I agree with you, and South Park is one my favorite shows.

If there's any idea greater than a rocket-powered Firebird, Sammy Hagar on the radio, and a quick flight to the version of Mars in the Heavy Metal parody episode, I don't wanna hear it.
