Kid, You’re Definitely Making it Worse
A professor once asked my class, “what’s the first rule of holes?” No one on in the class was able to give him an answer. His response was, “the first rule of holes is that when you find yourself in one, stop digging.” Sound advice. Unfortunately, no one has ever given this kid any similar advice.
First, some background. South Park has a history of making fun of everything and everyone under the sun. At some point, they decided to make fun of red headed people, also known as “gingers.” Although this was obviously a larger satire of the ridiculousness of baseless hatred towards minority groups in general, some people didn’t get it. This kid is one of those people.
Fast forward to a few months ago. Someone calling himself “CopperCab” posted the following video on YouTube, where it quickly became a viral hit. To date it has over 5.5 million views.

A few weeks ago, a new season of South Park aired. This past week’s episode featured violent threats from extremists against the town of South Park. The exact origins of the threats weren’t revealed until the towards the end of the episode. It turns out that these extremists threats were coming from an organized group of violent, angry gingers.
The next morning, CopperCab posted the following video in response to the South Park episode.

In promo clips aired on Comedy Central this week, it has been revealed that the next part of the episode will feature a straight up spoof of the original angry ginger YouTube video. So back to beginning. Kid, you’re making it worse. You are in the middle of a giant hole and I suggest you stop digging.
Update: I added the promo video in question.
That clip of the Ginger spoof has been on South Park studios(dot)com since the beginning of the season… It just seemed like a clip that they were just using as a promo… I really wonder if it will actually be in the episode next week…
Good point.
I should have mentioned in the original post, this kid looks like a childhood version of Chris Hamby.
I look way better than this dude. I for one embrace how South Park is portraying gingers which gives us more exposure and shows people what gingers are capable of doing….
Here is the promo clip the post refers to:

You are generalizing that all red heads look like Hamby.
That is probably true.
