Ginger jokes have existed for a long time. It has always been light harted though.Hannibal942 said:I always assumed that episode was symptom. So you're telling me that this joke about gingers didn't exist before South Park? I have a hard time believing Matt Stone and Trey Parker created that joke in a vacuum.Happiness Assassin said:Really? You don't know. It is because of South Park. There is no real reason beyond the fact that Cartman said gingers don't have souls. It really is that simple.Hannibal942 said:I'm American and I don't understand ginger jokes. I really don't fucking get why they're reviled. Because....they have red hair and freckles? To be fair, the show you describe seems to be making fun of this attitude, ridiculing ginger hatred by presenting the logical extreme. It's hard for me to take that scene seriously from my point of view.
OT: I quit watching the Walking Dead for a while part way into season 2, though I did get back into it with season 3. Considering the fact that I have a full grasp of everything going on now, it seems I didn't miss much.
My favourite is Tim Minchin's Prejudice
