Tesco pull Christmas cards mocking ginger kids
A supermarket has pulled Christmas cards off the shleves after complaints they made fun of ginger haired kids.The £1.50 card features a photo of a boy with red hair sat on Santa's knee and has the message 'Santa loves all kids. Even GINGER ones'.
But after a series of complaints from irate parents with red-head kids (who were seeing red) Tesco stores have stopped selling it.
A spokesperson for the store said they sell a large range of Christmas card some which are intended to be humorous and that they were sorry if the card had caused any upset.
It had been claimed that the card is discriminatory and likely to cause offence to people with ginger hair. However, no-one seems to be disputing that it was funny.
The card is one form a 'Bad Santa' range by makers 'Quitting Hollywood'. Others include him telling a child who says they want a Wii for Christmas "Well don't do it on me you dirty little git" and another where he says to a crying child "I told you it wasn't chocolate on the reindeer's bum!"
