    Frequently Asked Questions About Gingervitis and Ginger Kids:

    1) What is Gingervitis?

    Gingervitis is a serious hereditary disease caused by a recessive gene. It can lay dormant for years and two perfectly healthy parents can have Ginger Babies. Gingervitis affects millions of people world wide. The symptoms of gingervitis include: Red hair, pale skin, and freckles, a "Soulless" feeling. Some Ginger Kids may show symptoms such as violence and depression. Although Gingervitis is not a life threatening disease it can be very serious. There is currently no known cure and very little treatment for Gingervitis.


    2) Is Gingervitis contagious?

    No, Ginger Kids are born with Gingervitis. It is hereditary and cannot be contracted in any other way.



    3) Are Ginger Kids dangerous?

    Although some Ginger Kids may be dangerous, many others are not. Ginger Kids do have a genetic predisposition towards anger and depression, but this is caused by there appearance and often times amplified by taunting and harassment. Contrary to popular belief, many Ginger Kids live healthy, happy lives.


    4) Do Ginger Kids have Souls?

    Unfortunately no, Ginger Kids are born without souls. A common misconception is that you need a soul to survive. This is completely false. Ginger Kids are people just like everyone else, even if they don’t have souls. Many Ginger Kids live happy, healthy, productive lives devoid of any sort of soul.



    5) If a Ginger Kid bites me what should I do?

    If you have been bitten by a Ginger Kid immediately wash the wound with soap and water. If you have alcohol or peroxide apply it to the wound. Then call your local poison control for further assistance.


    6) Why do Ginger kids get such a bad reputation?

    Ginger Kids are commonly stereotyped because a number of famous Ginger Kids have set bad examples. Celebrities such as Carrot Top and Queen Elizabeth I give Ginger Kids a bad name. Don't be fooled, although these famous people are Gingers. A large numbers of Ginger Kids are nothing like them. Some Gingers have even protested these figures because of the harm they have done.



    7) Why do people call Ginger Kids "fire crotch"? Are there crotches really on fire?


    A common misconception is that Ginger Kids' crotches are actually engulfed in flames. The truth is "fire crotch" comes from the fact that Ginger Kids have red pubic hair. It is similar to the nickname "Carrot Top".

    Key Stats about Gingerkids:

    Trying on clothes in public dressing rooms
    Sharing food

    Sorry, I can see that would amuse some people but I personnally just think it's really sick. I am sorry to be a kill joy, but I think you can be funny without refering to people's natural skin or hair colour as a "sickness" that needs to be cured.

    Find another angle.

    I understand it's hopefully not meant seriously, and might even be self-deprecating but I dont want to even go there.

    Plus it's just not funny.

    Chill out, its nice to see a variant from the usual Dumb Blonde jokes! Do you go posting on blonde joke threads saying that they're racist? Don't think so. Personally I didn't find it funny but I certainley didn't find it racist, as much as I don't feel I'm being victimised when I read or hear a blonde joke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    What do you mean?
    "Strawberry blonde" perchance?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 620 ✭✭✭RotalicaV


    I see gingers sometimes, daywalkers if you will.. Scarey.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,611 ✭✭✭✭Sam Vimes


    What do you mean?
    did you not see the episode? cartman said there are some gingers who don't have very white skin and freckles and who aren't hurt by sunlight. they're called daywalkers

    see now you are getting the idea - replacing ginger with actual reference to a skin colour completely makes the point that you are, a tool.

    hey why not do yellowvitis (you know because everyone knows that Chinese people are :rolleyes: ) or any other colour you can think of, and dont forget your own ethnicity by revealing the shocking truth of irishvitis

    how can mocking someone's hair be compared to racisim is a step beyond me and off the cliffs of sanity

    Mock someone's hair as much as you like, mock their skin, mock their ethnicity, knock yourself out, just be aware it might make you laugh but it also might hurt some people's feelings. I see a moderator has approved the whole topic, so fine. It's just not my style. Have fun.

    Yes because as a moderator, where I lead the sheep will follow and be nervous - oh no, now I have insulted sheep and or people I imply are sheep - what a sticky mess (hurr hurr) I got myself into

    Life is waaaay to short to get all worked up over ginger kids (even if they do freak us out :) )

    I mean GallicProphet - if that kind of joke wasnt your bag baby - then why did you feel it necessary to respond? Did you honestly think your feelings and wishes would be respected in a humour forum?

    I think this video will explain it all :)

    I thought it was actually very funny! It's posted in humour thread so if people get offended they clearly have no humour to begin with. :D

    Thats better that the original joke.

    Yes Hagar, great joke :D Why didn't I think of that? I hate not being funny :mad: :D

    Like biko, I too have a penchant for redheads and found this very funny, although perhaps the fact that I have almost no hair left means that I will laugh at any jokes mocking the flowing locks brigade :D

    I have a ginger tinge to my beard if I let it grow but brown hair everywhere else am I in danger of fully developing Gingervitis in later life?

    I believe I have a soul but am unsure due to the ginger tinge of my beard is there a test I can take?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,602 ✭✭✭patmac


    Great thread pissing off Gingers for 4 years now.
