I'm not sure what's better: The fact that this is an actual public service announcement by the Australian government to improve driving behavior, or this headline describing the controversy surrounding it: "Government's 'Don't Be A Dickhead' campaign takes aim at gingers, emos." Win-win, I guess. [Via]

hard G!
giddy gingers in gingham garment getups
gabbing, grabbing, groping
giggity giggity giggity
Agreed -- Who knew it was a hard G? And why?
It's kind of a joke. Like "Not nessa-celery" or somesuch. It is not required.
I'm confused because the only thing worse that gingers is Australians.
I'm a ginger and doing it with another ginger feels somewhat...incestuous.
I ALWAYS WONDERED
Same here. I always feared boiking other redheads because our offspring would have 100% chance of catching the ginge.
Wait, is this true of other hair colors? Also, good incestuous or bad incestuous?
Yeah, like Flowers in the Attic or Ruby?
It's like going to bed with a sibling and I don't think there's a good way no matter what Flowers in the Attic tried to teach me. Maybe all ginges are somehow related?? I do think the gene is recessive however.
The last time I made this mistake it was dark, I was drunk, and I thought he was blonde. Imagine my horror when I woke up! He had white eyelashes too. UGH.
Aw, my guy is a ginger and I think he only loves my black-haired self because 3 of my 4 grandparents were gingers. My ginger latency makes me tolerable.
THANK YOU. I always try to explain to people that redheads are not into other redheads and no one believes me.
But this all totally flies in the face of lots of good studies showing we pick people who basically look like us. SCIENCE, YOU LET ME DOWN!
My husband and I could be brother and sister, so chalk up Another Anecdote for Science.
@Tuna Surprise: *call me
Same for Crantastical, if you're a woman. I can't tell.
Is this some sort of an April's Fools trap? I don't want to show up to find out you're one of us.
Well, a trap is involved. But it's not related to April Fools'. And I'm not a ginger.
I don't have time to play games, woman!
Hold your horses! I'm liveblogging Project Runway on Gawker...just download porn on your iPad and wait until it's over.
Not to distract from the Ginger on Ginger thing, which I find kind of fascinating, but what, if anything, does that video have to do with driving while talking on the phone?
It's because that one ginger was DRIVING HOME, MATE!
With his mobile unit.
Wow, government PSA's can say "dickhead" in Australia? Is that a pun on some kind of Prison Island-ism, or is it really just "don't be a dickhead"?
And, yeah, hard G thing. "GGGINGGER"! Blows my fucking mind.
What is it with Aussie women and red tinted hair. Thanks a lot, Nell Campbell.
I like this comment under the buzzfeed post:
"Every time this joke gets laughed at, Julianne Moore has to write another children's book about self-acceptance. It's taking valuable time away from her acting, people."
That kid who plays Ron Weasley? The girls LOVE him. I'll bet he's got groupies lining up at his bedroom door.
So WHO's LAUGHING NOW, Australian government?
I've never gotten the anti-ginger thing. Redheads are hot! It's really just anti-Irish prejudice.
