Raising-Redheads.com is a parenting magazine dedicated to redheads and their families.

Ill give it a nod for being a very informative website about redheads (although not as informative as us of course) such as tour genetics and how prevalent we are in the world. But what really grinds my gears is just that it seems to try and set us apart from everyone else. Its like saying you there are special steps that you need to take in raising an asian or black child. A little red hair doesnt require a different battle plan with a child. Maybe they will get teased when they are growing up, but thats not something that any other child has to deal with when growing up.

Not that i dont doubt the authors sincerity about loving redheads (she is one herself), all i am saying is that it is this type of website that just continues to perpetuate the belief that gingers not the same as everyone else. When will the world see that gingers deserve to be treated just like everyone else!

You can also pick up power ups to help you such as sunblock so that you can stay out finding partners later, and bag pipes to try and impress the ladies a little better. So long as you create enough gingers by the time the sun comes up you get to move on to the next level. Watch out however as some of the girls dont like red heads and wont respond to your advances. Good luck!

The Gingervitus Virus

The gingervitus virus some people claim to be a parasite. Once it has entered the body it quickly spreads through out the blood stream and causes many different effects on the body including:

• Red Hair
• Freckles
• Pale Skin

Sometimes people with this condition will have an adverse reaction to ultraviolet light causing them to have to stay indoors during daylight hours only coming outside during the night.

Gingervitus can be contracted during any point during a persons lifetime however it is usually apparent soon after birth. Some people will not begin to show symptoms until later in life, usually around the time of puberty. This condition was explained in the South Park episode “Ginger Kids“.

The articles based their findings on the mistaken assumption that recessive genes such as the ones that cause red hair would eventually disappear due to the low number of red heads currently in the world. Recessive genes can become less prevalent but wont disappear completely short of every single human on the planet that carries the gene dies or fails to reproduce. Unless there was some sort of global event that killed off a large number of these people, red heads like you will be around for many more generations to come.

Some of the articles referenced the “Oxford Hair Foundation” as the source of the research. However any attempts to reach their website now automatically sends you to the homepage of Proctor and Gamble. A company who makes money selling many different types of beauty products, including red hair dye.

I for one plan on making sure that the ginger gene gets passed on whether or not this is true. We are a special breed and anything we can do to increase our population i am all for!
