The Victorian Governments new video dubbed “Gingas get Fresh” was released recently and has provoked a landslide of complaints to advertising authorities and the Human Rights Commission. The Commission have slapped the government with a polite “please explain request”. The government is trying to use REDHEADS as a reason to not use your mobile phone while driving. A line from the advertisement says:
Every time you use your mobile phone whilst driving, gingers get fresh with other gingers. Don’t be a dickhead. Don’t use your phone.
People called in immediately after the ad was released and within the first hour over 20 complaints have been received. The biggest concern was the possibility of bulling or teasing at schools however the adverts will not be pulled. The Commission is powerless to act due to a lack of jurisdiction on the matter. I mean seriously folks, i thought we had a good stretch without any bad news about this kind of discrimination against red heads.
Check out the video for yourself and let us know what you think!
I for one, how that if a cell phone call while driving makes a ginger get some? I borderline endorse the practise!
