Perhaps to understand Barry Glendenning’s disgust you might want to understand a topic I recently took interest in: gingerism in the UK. WTF is that? Well, apparently redheads are abused and hated in England. Over the last several years there have been hate crimes against “gingers” in the UK.

One young man was stabbed to death because he had red hair. A family in Newcastle was forced to move three times because of anti-ginger abuse, vandalism, and bullying, a 12 year old boy was bullied so viciously he committed suicide, recently parents were forced to take their daughter out of school because she was bullied so much and school officials took no action to eliminate the bullying, and recently, a woman won a judgment in court because she faced a hostile workplace because of her red hair, which included sexual harassment.

I even found a thread on a British ex-pats website where a man said he was moving to the US because of anti-ginger abuse. That’s right— a refugee from persecution based on your hair color!!!!!

Scholes is a redhead, and all of Britain had to watch the perverse act of a redhead being kissed. Don’t believe me? Google: gingerism UK

How ironic. A former boyfriend and still a close friend of mine from Ireland says rugby can be similar to this too. However, I agree with Dma, if it had been two women, I doubt a reaction like this would have happend.

Yes, Wayne, I am serious. In the twenty years I have been alive, not once have I ever read such an awkward article. Not on ESPN, LA Times, NY Times, Chicago Tribune, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, or such papers. I believe you have legitimate news confused with celebrity gossip by a harlot named Perez Hilton. I don’t diddle my time away by reading such trash. So yes, something like the article in this blog posts is awkward to me. Or at least it is to me someone my age. I guess the lack of homo-eroticism in the article put you to sleep. Did you expect them to French kiss or guzzle each other’s semen?

After all it is Pride month! Get with the game so to speak! In the USA they pat butts, grope, etc. Can you imagine the WPGA kissing? The media would be all over it in a positive way.

Is DJ kidding? The most awkward article you’ve ever seen in the news?? This is so bland I nearly fell asleep reading it.

Not that I didn’t enjoy it, of course….

That is a very intense romantic kiss which is what is freaking some people out. And the two men are not pretty boy types which makes it sexier.

“Is there a video of this kiss?”

I went looking to post one but could not find any. YouTube vids are only of the still photos. Seems odd not to have video in this day and age.

Lucky bastard Gary Neville, Paul Scholes has been a lust object of mine for years. Great goal by Scholes too, I hope it helps Manchester United win the title this year (for a record 19th time) since Everton isn’t going to win it….
