Dublin Zoo..Red Hair

40040D

Has anyone seen this ?
Were they even thinking how 'offensive' this could be to some people, I don't have red hair, nor would I find it offensive but I'm sure theres a few who would

They the whole thing.

I just think it's a bit silly tbh.

Cookie_Monster

its alright, gingers don't have feeling anyway

Lurching

If you take offense to that, you'd want a kick to the face.

Besides, who has ever said they were offended when the outcome was receiving something for free?

I'm ginger, I'm not offended and anyone who is deserves a slap!

Einhard

Why the hell would I be offended, I get into Dublin Zoo for nothing!! It's the rest of you poor souls, stuck with your dull, boring shades that should be affronted!

Although I consider myself more a venetian blonde than a ginger!!:D









EDIT: Only ginger children?! NOW I'm offended. Ageist baxtards!!

Definitely not going to multi quote, too many good points here !

Ahh well thats what I was getting too, free entry to "red-haired" kids..surely thats somewhat discriminate to "Non red haired" kids ? (not that I care - I don't have kids!)

Why didn't they just have a free entry to kids of all hair colour!

Yes! That's what I mean. Why not make it free for all kids?

orourkeda

does it have ginger pubes

vibe666

ah sure, got to give them something for free every now and again to make them turn up, it's not like they've got any friends to go with.

Poor Uncle Tom

They travel in 4's

What f*ckin' moron thought that singling out certain kids for 'special' treatment was a good idea? Kids who probably already have to deal with crap from some other kids influenced by their idiotic parents love of 'ginger' jokes.
Then, after someone comes up with this moronic idea, it, presumably, is given approval by a sizable number of other idiots within the organisation?
The mind boggles.
Edit: Oh, having read the article, it refers to the colour of the orangutans hair and gives free entry to those wearing wigs of that colour also; orangutans just happen to have reddish coloured hair.
So it's not as some in the media have tried to paint it.
I take it all back.
Should have read the article before commenting.
All is right with the world.

Jaysus. Lighten up. Every kid gets crap about some issue at some stage of their childhood.

I think it's awesome! Anything to help out the animals is good(check me sig )

Next week they should have all dark haired kids get in for free to help raise awareness for....gorillas.
Then tall people should get in some week to raise awareness for giraffes :pac:

Yeah. As you'll see, i edited my post above after reading the article.
If they're letting in presumptuous idiots free, then i'm there.
In my defense, i'm very drunk.

I think blonde hair matches the stripe on a skunk.You can go in on National Skunk Week


The ginger thing is a bit of a cop out really cos most gingers dont come out during the day anyway

ascanbe

I have cousins with red hair and, having consulted them, am in a position to offer any orangutans free admittance to see them, if they so wish.

Except for the daywalkers, be careful of them. They're the ones without freckles.

They should also have free entry for fat kids to even things out.

Orangutans are great. How could anyone be offended at being compared to them?

On a different note am I the only one that thinks Pat Butcher looks like a polar bear? Maybe she could do some kind of promotion to help save the polar ice caps.

I must have been under a rock because I heard nothing about this at the time - this was an awesome idea! Cant stand people who get offended at things like that. Check out the facebook campaign - there should be a day like that next year where people can put on a ginger wig and get in free!
