Yep, I am an Aussie,
and to those who are making gross generalisations of us being racist…. um, how about you fuck off? Yeah, Thanks.
My mum’s gay, her partner is a brit, my brother is Muslim, my sister-in-law is Malaysian so my nephew and niece are half asian.
If that doesn’t show you how multicultural we are then I don’t know what does.
The fact is that most people take our sense of humour the wrong way. I agree that sometimes it’s a bit borderline, but for fuck’s sake, lighten up, assume everything we say is meant as a joke and Viola! you don’t end up getting offended.
If you can’t laugh it off, there’s something wrong with you. If an aussie is polite and well mannered it means they really don’t like you, the more rough and rude we are to you, the more we like you. Deal with it.
you’re all arguing as to whether the post could be australian or american, based on whether ‘g i n g e r’ is an accepted term there. also there are posts mentioning terry being a good name, or suggesting ‘toby’s chocolate orange’? irony? i’m not sure. but the fact is, ‘terry’s chocolate orange’ is the trademarked name of a chocolate snack in england.
so unless you have that in america or australia, and were aware of aforementioned confectionery, then you’re all utterly wrong, barking up the wrong tree, and missing some (if not the (orange) essence) of the joke.
alordslums, we DO have them in America! I just had one last month. The joke doesn’t really make much sense if you don’t know what they are. I just thought that Kamelita was being completely thick in thinking that no one in America uses the term ginger. I don’t care where the hell the joke originated from; it CLEARLY wasn’t from “Pimpmachine.” With a name like that, you don’t have the luxury of being clever.
54 KAOSS, you took the words out of my mouth, thank you. It amazes me how so many things turn into a race and country issue. Does it really matter what country he’s from?
“Ginger” is hardly ever used in the US, but has become more popular since the South Park episode. Also, this type of humor and knowledge of chocolate oranges are rare in the US.
Pimpmachine is from the UK. Very easy to find on FB.
Omg, I wonder if that’s my whore next door Neighbor?
She’s such a ginger whore. Annnd now she’s pregnant.
Hey, if you’re reading this; STFU everyone in the building can hear your obnoxious sex. And clean out your vagh, we can smell it from here.
Actually it was pretty rare to hear an American call a redhead a ginger until after the South Park episode, and even now it’s still fairly rare. I do think that was a pretty stupid reason to fire someone though. You shouldn’t lose your job over being a rude jerk. It was pretty funny though.
I know the English like to call redheads “Gingers”, where us Aussies call them “Rangas” like most have pointed out already. I love how ex-patriate Australians become less Aussie the farther they move away from Australia.
I’m would almost bet my left nut TinyDancer is Germaine Greer!!! Offers nothing constructive, but spreads plenty of vitriol and stereotyping.
Hehehehehe. Rangas are funny.
I prefer the term blood nut
sooooo many people have assumed it’s non-fictitious lol
it’s absolutely hilarious material though

Read that on Sickipedia a week ago…
Mild Racism is funny? Ginger people are not.
Lol. Token Kiwi at 39 is “Finn”. What is that entire fucking country in Crowded House?
I think ginger jokes and Irish jokes are hilarious….. and, yes, I’m both of the aforementioned
a drunk fantapants. I’d feel sorry for you if I wasn’t laughing at your misfortune.
I am an Aussie of Irish decent, and boy I am pale as fuck.
Terry the Chocolate Orange huh? I’m getting a mental picture of the guy from Yo Gabba Gabba… *Chortle*
@ gingerspecs.
I’m sure you are just retarded and think you are Irish because your parents once went to Ireland. You Americans….
duplicate v____v
@50 love the Tori reference!
Hey bender…
Did you mean: ridiculous
1. Urban Dictionary: rediculous
rediculous – 9 definitions – The alarmingly common misspelling of [ridiculous].

This person didn’t really get fired over anything, it’s a joke from Sickipedia.
Shouldn’t even be on lamebook.
LONG LIVE SI – AARRAAAAA
gemmi: I was thinking of Jaffas too!
babaedsheep: I’m a kiwi too, but not called Finn 🙂 My house isn’t crowded either.
Infect: Hell yeah.
Will never again look at Terry’s Chocolate Oranges quite the same.
All Americans who gets offended by Village Idiots’ comment are Frodo.
I want to go to Australia…

I found it funny though

I don’t watch South Park, but I surmise there was an episode about gingers. I didn’t know I was such a rarity.
I simply cannot believe that no one has asked if the carpets match the drapes.
Come on people!!
@ Anitalaff – just spilled the proverbial coffee all over the desk… thanks!

@fingerman
I stand corrected. Thank you good sir.
Harden the fuck up.
It’s not just a cool saying,
It’s a way of life.

For all you fails that think this is true, it’s a joke off sickipedia (www.sickipedia.org, along with almost every other joke from facebook statuses 🙂
lol @ PaulD.
