Some of you on here may not know much about this topic, so ill set the scene. South park made a video about ginger kids being rather occult and one of the key messages was they have no souls and are slightly vampiric in nature. I saw this episode and laughed with everyone else took the jokes on the chin, played along with it for a bit with my friends, "Did you eat my last Oreo?", Im ginger, " I have no soul", silly things like that.
Then one day im just browsing you tube looking through the funny vids and i come across this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY39fkmqKBM&feature=related, if this links fails for you then search: Gingers do have souls in youtube..
I watch it and im going to be honest i laughed real hard at some parts and felt sorry for the kid in others, but the key question for me really is, why has it been taken so whole heartedly? Its South Park, if they weren't talking smack about minorities then it wouldn't really be South Park? Jews, Mexicans, disabled... all of them take centre stage at least once in a series, so why have some people got on their high horse and taken so much offence, where for me there is non to be found.
South Park have seen this kids videos along with approx. 10 million people and have seen the capitalistic oppurtunity to make some cash of it and boost viewings and so have posted this... It is legit and not a mock up by a tuber fan...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7FwXPz8Slc&feature=related, again if this link fails search South Park People call me ginger and it should come up with a south park esque version of the irate you tuber.
I just see a kid whos getting bullied a school for having 2 things that he can be bullied for rather than the one thing that a bully can pick up on anyone.... Now his notoriety has grown I think hes milking it a bit now.
I really wanted to get a consensus of both the red and non red head people on here and ask, are you offended? What are your thoughts on the matter?
Peace and Love
