Ginger Love

I just found an amazing discovery! A game where you work as a ginger to try and allow our species to survive. The goal of the game is to try and mate with as many other gingers as you can before the sun comes up. Because as you all know once the sun comes up our skin starts to become sensitive to the ultra violet light of the sun. You increase your chance of creating a ginger kid by mating with other red heads, but as ginger genetics tells us you can still give birth to a red head so long as the partner you find has the recessive gene in their DNA.

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“.

A few years ago the media was reporting that redheads will eventually become extinct to the genes that cause “gingers” to have the red hair and freckles we all love. Some sources claimed that as early as 2060 our gene would be bred out of our genetic code.

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!
