Beware the Red

This has just got bad idea written all over it:

Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Marcia Cross. Who wouldn't want to look like any one of these three gorgeous redheads? Perhaps someone living in Britain, where being a redhead often means a lifetime of discrimination.

"Discrimination against redheads seems to be getting worse and worse," said Simon Cheetham, founder of www.redandproud.com, a Web site that seeks to counter discrimination against redheads -- called "gingers" in the U.K. --by honoring those with flaming tresses.

"In this politically correct world you can't say anything about people's religion or sexuality but it's still OK here in Britain to portray redheads in a negative manner," he said.

I know of at least one reader, should he choose to comment, that is married to a "ginger." I have, in my past life, dated a redhead.

They're just not people you'd want to bully.
