Argh, links not working, but I think I can get the gist

These children didn't do this because they watched South Park and were 12/13. These children did this because they were idiots.

Another case of blame being put on popular media and less on the responsibility of parents.

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

-Sigh- Once again the media blames a controversial show rather than the parents who obviously had boundary issues. If you've raised you kid to believe South Park can tell them what to do, you can't blame the show.

Ohnoes! Someone got a bruise. Alert the press!

Investigators said the incident was seemingly inspired by the season nine South Park episode 'Ginger Kids'.

I'm usually one of the first to cry out "Now wait a minute, don't go pinning this on TV/Movies/Games so quickly", but considering the age of the kids and...well, the whole "kick a ginger" thing, I'm gonna agree with the OP. Kids that young shouldn't be watching shows meant for adults.

Why all the hate for gingers? What did we ever do to you?

 

[Abedeus]

I didn't think they had gingers in China.

You didn't think or didn't know?

Also, Asians can't be gingers. People in China? Sure. Just because you live in China doesn't mean you or your ancestors were Chinese.

I think ginger dudes are ugly. However, ginger (or just redhead) girls... Mrrraur.

What stupid, stupid children. Gingers are an important part of our society.

There have been many great, influential Gingers in history.........................................................................................................like Ron Howrad..................

Well, you guys have no soul!


Actually neither do I.......

Psh. Having a soul is over-rated.

Mmmm ginger beef!

 

[Hiphophippo]

Oh man, I missed kick a ginger day?

Realized I should have written something under this before hitting post...

Anyway, I fixed it so I can agree with you Abedeus.

Conan O'Brien is the obvious answer.

I quote, (elliot)
"Gingers are gods mistake"

I'm pretty sure I watched a few episodes of South Park around that age. Didn't adversely affect me. I also played violent games like GTA way before then, and watched violent films. Again, no adverse affect. Media cannot be blamed for making idiots do idiotic things.

As A ginger I am happy this was done for two reasons:
1 The little shits should get their parents into trouble (hopefully)
2 The Ginger revolution is neigh
