Santa Loves All Children, even Ginger Ones

A supermarket in Yorkshire today removed a Christmas card from sale because it said "Santa loves all children, even ginger ones".

 

The complaint that led to the card being withdrawn was anonymous, but it is reported to been sent by email from the following email address: andrew.strauss@urnstealers.co.uk. The complainant expressed clearly that he felt the card should say "Santa loves all children, EXCEPT ginger ones".

As the complainant has chosen to remain anonymous, the cause of the complaint must remain a mystery, but isn't the gentleman looking maliciously over Little Andy's shoulder remarkably like the one on the card?

How can Strauss discriminate against Colly like this? Down with Strauss!

Colly would clearly be a better captain. I think Little Andy is feeling a bit insecure. Losing the test series to South Africa won't help, either ...

I really don't understand Kirby how you can hate the English and the South Africans this much....

And I feel that Strauss is a better captain. He did win the Ashes didn't he....or as you say it, stole it...

I don't hate anybody, firstly. That's a strong word. I dislike Strauss because he is boring and he nicked the urn; I love Colly; I like the South Africans very much.

I had to stop that because my taxi came - but I am a fan of South Africa. Don't know where you got the impression I'm not. If I had had a second son, I would have named him Jonty.
