British retailer Tesco has apologized after one of its Christmas cards, which reads "SANTA loves all kids. Even GINGER ones," unsurprisingly provoked fury in people with red hair, who tend to be the quickest to fly off the handle in explosive rage.

haha I find that card to be hillarious and if received, I would give the sender the biggest props. Redheads ARE explosive :P

Gingers are pretty emotional. Quick to fly off the handle. I met a ginger this weekend, and I'd love to send this along, but I'm afraid she might fly off the handle.

Ok... so just to show her Catherine Tate can be really rude, show her this...




And then say... or there's one on gingers here as well. :)

Damn, I missed those. All the gings in my life would've got one.

The original text was "Better dead than red on the head!!"

*wince*

It was funny, but not on a Christmas card. I hope at least it was for adults and not kids. Then it'd be tongue-in-cheek or something.

I just don't get the flak redheads get in some places. I was always enthralled by them. I can't imagine people really mistreating or shunning them.

But yeah, the quote was witty.
