Eric Cartman approves.
No he doesnt! He wouldnt want to protect redheads! Why has no one called out the bull sh*t on you?!?!?
RAWR!!!!
He is saying that Cartman approves of their extinction, dumb@ss. LOL
actually he meant cartman approves of the extinction of gingers not saving them.learn how to troll,butt monkey
I remember a hoax article supposedly from the WHO that said the same thing about blondes.
I remember that too. Didn’t hear the part about it being a hoax, though.
To me, it makes sense. For a long time, blondes were in fairly sheltered communities among other blondes (think Nordic villages). Now that the world is so integrated, blondes will more and more frequently breed with dominant hair colors (brunettes and black-hairs). Blonde being a recessive gene, will inevitably lose out. The same can be said of red-heads.
Genetics doesn’t quite work that way, especially with recessive genes.
Genetic drift means that because of all that inter-breeding with darker haired people, eventually the population will reach a point where EVERYONE will have a few blonde/redhead genes. Put two people with enough copies of those genes together and suddenly you start having dark-haired parents having blonde and red-haired children.
So the pattern is basically “very few blondes/redheads for a few generation, then suddenly blondes and redheads everywhere!”
Also, red hair occurs just about everywhere. The difference is the shade of red; the genes for the red pigment are seperate than the ones for blonde/brown/black hair. The shade of red you get depends on where you are in the blonde/brown/black spectrum. There are plenty of darker-haired people who have the genes for red hair, it’s just layered over black or dark brown so it’s harder to notice than someone who has genes for red and blonde hair instead.
/end rant.
Finally someone sais it, thanks. Except, the pattern will be more like:
“very few blondes/redheads for a few generation, then suddenly still very few blonds but evenly distributed everywhere.”
Iirc, the “Redheads will die out” myth was greated by L’Oreal to sell red hair dye, or something like that.
Although – Given the fact, that the areas with many blond/red genes have hardly 2 children/family, this few might get fewer and fewer
There is no gene for red hair.
-_-;

You’re right, it’s only a devilish curse. Red hair wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t of a few people sacrifying babies to the goat demon
You’ve got it all wrong. We sacrifice goats to the Baby Daemon.
Yeah, it’s a choice.
Thank you for saying this and saving me the trouble. Both my parents have dark hair and dark eyes, but I am blond and blue-eyed, like my maternal grandmother and paternal grandfather. My daughter is blond with brown eyes, but could have turned out any which way..
asian red heads. they are there somewhere.
When you find one get me her phone number.
and mine
or maybe her sisters….
THe same is true for caucasian people, or ‘whites’ . It was a recessive gene, or mutation, and simply a lack of skin pigmentation. SO any breeding with ‘other strains.’ I’m not being rascist mind you, just stating facts.
,
The Who? Well, I won’t get fooled again.
Awesome comment is awesome.
…LOVE IT!!!…bwahahwaaawwawwaaaaaaa!!!…
Insert joke about not having souls here.
Steal the soul from a brunette and her hair will turn red.
so, Redheads need to get it on to save their fellow hair colour friends?
Hmm, maybe I can get in on this.
Somebody has got to warn Felicia Day!
Marry ALL the redheads!
Dibs on Emma Watson!
I call dibs on Alicia Witt
Dibs on Tori Amos!
I really don’t believe this. I have been hearing this since the 90′s.
Red hair is a recessive gene. It won’t be extinct so much as… dormant.
Worst case, red dye sales go up?
hence why the fact that the hoax was started by proctor and gamble.
I have red hair. The last person in my family on either side that had red hair was 3 generations back. My great granparents.
Although everyone calls it “strawberry blonde”. No, its red. It’s just sunbleached since I’m outside so much in a desert state.
I’ve always wondered why people with strawberry-colored hair are called gingers, while people with ginger colored hair are called strawberry blondes.
For that matter, ginger is light brown with a yellowy interior.

This article is from http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/226783, they also corrected themselves in this article http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/226783, stating that the previous article was incorrect.
evolution?
Best news I’ve heard all week!
My brother has red. It’s not bright red like with irish people though, his hair is closer to brown. No one in my family knows where it comes from since no one else in my family has or had had red hair. Maybe a bunch of generations back?
Or the postman
Nooooooooooo!..
Quick where do I sign up to help keep the gene going? Im a recessive redhead myself (father was a really ‘red’ redhead). Im willing to spread my seed for the cause.
**notices the date on the article**
Phew… panicked for a second.
My offer still stands
… along with other parts.
Hi! My name is Rocky Dennis and I want to talk with you
Call me!
Where do you live?
and also are you a guy or a girl? most girls dont “spread their seed”
It’s ok guys, we have HAIR DYE,
Redheads will never be extinct.
It’s not the same. …Not at all.
Natural red heads. Not fake red heads.
So…. we can’t breed with them?
red heads of the world unite!!!!
then untie your shoes and get naked!
I read that as “rednecks” and was happy for a moment… then I got sad.
Probably due to lack of soul…
Not bad as a hooking line “Hey you know that you are an endagered species and you need to reproduce as much as you can?”
The first paragraph of that article reads
“soon they will become extinct in the next 100 years”.
No article worth its salt would use such a tautology.
It also felt the need to tell us what Shakespeare did for a living… as if we’re all unlikely to know who he was!?!?!?
The writer also completely messed up the effects of the mutation(s). it says “gene had the beneficial effect of increasing the body’s ability to cope with sunlight; it helped make vitamin D from Sunlight”
Everyones skin makes Vit. D from sunlight, gingers just make more, and this increases the ability to cope with the LACK of sunlight, which is a problem for people living far north (or south)
remember that when algore starts spouting off about global warming and how we have 10 years to stop it.
I still volunteer to breed as often as possible with Nicole Kidman…
When you say protect, you mean “touch”???
then: +2 !!!
no they meant procreate so +1,000,000
This is the kind of conversation a guy could get behind.
Giggity.
Conservation* *facepalm*
it works both ways actually.
(just like thirteen) but that goes both ways too
context… sometimes its important.
…we are winning…
Send all the hot female redheads around to mine. I’ll protect them.
We could just turn Scotland in to a giant conservation area and the problem will sort itself out (if you consider redhead extinction a problem of course…)
They are rather prevalent in german society too
I’m doing my best! I’m a redhead and I married a guy carrying the red gene (ginger beard). Unfortunately we got one chestnut, one mousey brown and a blonde.
Still, my blonde niece and her blond partner have bred three startlingly ginger kids, so I guess it all evens out.
Stupid recessive genes.
Like the Gingersaurus
I think redheads are hottt (with three Ts!)
Then…hello
Hot damn, do I love redheads. They better not go extinct (as if that would even be possible, lol).
Wait, the ability to cope with what?
Less sunlight… like northern european nations where it’s mostly cloudy
RED POWER!!!
Red-spectrum colors are super dominate on my mom’s side, despite red being a generally recessive trait. My siblings and I all have it, yet my dad’s side is all Italian dark/etc browns and stuff AKA not carrottop. Take that, genetics! >:D
I better go get David Caruso and help out!
Please people, do not panic. I have instituted a carefully controlled breeding program with the goal of averting this pending disaster. Please send all the redheads you can find to address below. Each will be carefully evaluated and if they pass my rigorous exam they will be promptly and repeatedly bred. With a bit luck I should have the redhead population increasing in no time. :~)
I wouldn’t mind being friendzoned to a redhead..
yes you would… blue balls forever
You do realize that this means that if you don’t have red hair you can never have sex with a red head again…….ever.
This is untrue, but I banged my redhead wife earlier just to be sure.
You lucky devil you!
Whats really funny, is that the most stereotypic redheads, the Scottish and Irish, are not actually Scottish or Irish! They are in fact descendants from the viking colonistation (and raping) in the Viking age. Because it was in Scandinavia that the “redhead mutation” originated. So when both blondes and redheads originate from a few hundred thousand Danes, Norse and Sweeds…. And you see how it has spread around the world….. I dont think we have to be protected. I think the rest of the world have to be protected from us.
And btw: That redheads are actually of viking heritage, just make them more awsome. And gives us with common heritage a prety good pickup line when we go viking the modern way.
