quote of the day (May 5, 2008)

On this Cinco de Mayo, we'd also like to wish a belated happy birthday to the Official Girlfriend of QOTD, Julie Roberts, who celebrated her birthday yesterday. In her honor, we've got a very special classroom presentation from young Eric Cartman of South Park, Colorado:

"My speech is entitled "Ginger Kids". Children with red hair, light skin, and freckles. We've all seen them. On the playground, at the store, walking on the streets. They creep us out, and make us sick to our stomachs. I'm talking, of course, about Ginger kids. Ginger kids are born with a disease, which causes very light skin, red hair and freckles.



This disease is called "Gingervitis". Kids who have Gingervitis cannot be cured. Because their skin is so light, Ginger kids must avoid the sun. Some people have red hair, but not light skin and freckles. These people are called daywalkers. In conclusion, I wil leave you with this. If you think that the ginger problem is not a serious one...(he clicks the overhead projector to show some Ginger kids smiling)...think again!"

--Eric Cartman, from the 2005 South Park episode "Ginger Kids"
