Jordan's Ginger Baby

Pneumatic British glamour model Jordan has taken time out from her busy schedule of self-promotion to pop out a sprog - inexplicably called Princess Tiaamii.

The shocker? Little Tiaamii (who we will refer to hence forth merely as The Baby) is ginger.

"I don't know where the ginger came from," Jordon (real name Katie Price) explained. "I love her anyway, even if she's a ginge."

Wonderful. Nothing like seeing scores of headlines about how shocked and presumably disappointed the chavvy topless model and her drippy husband are about spawning a redheaded baby. This poor kid's condemned to abuse anyway, since she'll be growing up in England with the curse of ginger hair. The fact that her parents are a national joke will surely only add to the embarassment. And the name?

Parents can be so cruel.

In Jordan's defence (I actually have a grudging respect for the savvy blonde) she did admit this: "Actually, I think when people are horrible about people with red hair, that's as bad as being racist."

Maybe the birth of The Baby will bring about a new era of tolerence for redhead Brits. But considering an heir to the throne got teased for his ginger locks at Eton, I wouldn't bank on it.

Offhand, did you ever see the South Park episode "Ginger Kids"? Just curious.
