Ginger Infamy

Apparently Forever Amber isn't the only ginger blogger whose been the recent victim of Internet ginger identity theft. I discovered today a successful online web business selling "ginger" merchandise had been using a very familiar looking photo as it's avatar - ME!

Find them on Twitter

This shot from my school days was presumably purloined from my Facebook page (well done on those security settings, Mr Zuckerberg) and it now being used to hawk fifteen dollar tees and promote witty phrases like the ones below.





Obviously I've reached out to Ginger Problems to resolve the issue. I don't mind my likeness being used commercially - just not without my permission.
