What if a Ginger Snaps
Anyone else read that Kick a Ginger Day article in the newspaper, about the young nanaimo redhead swarmed and brutalized based on his hair colour. Apparently there is a South Park episode about kicking a ginger on November 13th. Yes apparently red is the new kick me sign. After reading the headline, I asked my spouse about it, he said yes there was a website, and alot of conversation on the web about it. Wow I thought web 2.0 for pure fraking evil! I have a nervous habit of laughing when things are really awful, ya I laugh so I dont cry. So I laughed but was really upset, scared, and thought, as soon as she can my child is in a martial art.
I’ve had that nervous reaction before, when I realized a young man I passed everyday in Ottawa on the way to work was in fact a neo-nazi, and was on the news after attacking protesters for anti-pregidous assembly, saying he would in fact kick someone in the head again. Nice! Yes I’m being sarcastic. Those red suspenders he wore were a modified swastika, and I was blind to it all. Now the assembly could be safer online, no doc martin boots representing an opinion that was contrary. Maybe the angry exchange of words, like what I see when reading responses to video on youtube.
The responses on youtube ahhh so angry so inappropriate, but so interesting, often more so than the material orginally posted, don’t you find.
The link to the article is here, cut and paste! Ya Woo:( www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/westcoastnews/story.html?id=1a4f98f9-6e39-42c4-8f8b-77fcdb46a50c
