Yesterday, November 20th is the official Kick a ginger day. What is kick a ginger day?? It all started with a South Park episode back in 2005. It was the It was the 9th season and their 136th episode. We all know the creators of South Park poke fun at everyone. They do not leave anyone out. From Tom Cruise, to Harley Davidson riders, to Facebook, nothing gets left out. It is all meant in good fun, although some may find it offensive. South Park made of fun of gingers saying they didn't have souls, being a ginger is a disease and have "gingervitis", and the ginger jean is a curse. However, the problem with picking on red heads or "gingers" is it is more relevant to all ages. The episode caused a huge controversy after its ironic premise was misunderstood by people who acted violently against children with fair skin, freckles, and red hair. There was a Facebook created(which is now deleted/banned) to name November 20th the national kick a ginger day. It soon had over 5,000 members, it was all meant to be a joke. I was shocked to hear that some kids took this day very literally and attacked a poor 13 year old boy,
Aaron Mishkin was stomped and kicked by his fellow classmates. The
story hit all the way to Canada?! Since this act of violence, new Facebook groups have developed as a retaliation to the act of anger. Groups such as: hug a ginger day, gingers against kick a ginger day, sex your ginger, etc. I am proud to be a ginger, I make fun of being a redhead constantly. I even have a friend that is "scared of gingers" like this one -->

I am a "day walker ginger", but I still say you better watch out, because I'll sick my ginger kids on you.
Eric Cartman says, " Gingers are creepy. One night when your all sleeping in your room, they're gonna getcha, THEY'RE GONNA GETCHA!!
