Now this is an idea! There is a lot of weight behind the creation of “Kiss a Ginger Day” as opposed to the “Kick a Ginger Day” that was all in the news last year. There are a whole bunch of facebook groups popping up setting times and locations for us to all gather together en mass and show off our fiery red hair. If you can find one in your area i suggest you attend!

The best part is that this will be the 2nd Kiss a Ginger day this year! This new one plans to celebrate it in April, however one was first celebrated in January. I dont see why we need limit ourselves to one day though! Derek Forgie, a talent coordinator for MTV Canada recently created the first Kiss A Ginger Day group on facebook and was amazed by the attention it got. He said he started it as a “karmic counter-event” to the news coverage of a ginger child getting beat up by his peers in school last year. People all over the world ended up reacting to that event. An example of what they called “Gingerism“, or discrimination against gingers.

I hope that enough people do end up showing so that the rest of the world realizes that its not OK to “kick a redhead” or anyone else for that matter. People gota live to get along no matter what they look on the outside. Because we are all the same on the inside!

The group which urged its members to “get those steel toes ready” and group thousands of user comments. The group has since been shut down but reached 20,000 users before facebook pulled the plug. The boy who was from Vancouver island, British Columbia said the group was just a joke and that he was sorry for any trouble that it may have caused. According to the boy, he didnt actually start the facebook group by rather inherited it when the previous owner got in trouble he is now willing to message all of the members who have signed up and apologize for any harm it may have done.

RCMP Constable Tammy Douglass said the group is being investigated and if any hate laws have been violated those involved could face charges. “We do treat this kind of thing seriously” she explained. Ironically the day in question fell in the middle of International Bullying Awareness week.
