Ahhhh... now that's a different matter altogether. How audiences decode meaning in texts is a complex debate and much depends on the hegemonic nature of the media itself.
Anyway, I thought we'd agreed that I was right??

Seems our discussion is a little unpopular with some. I've already had a couple of negative karma comments left.

Not with me, it isn't! Two of the "big beasts" (metaphorically speaking) of Accyweb lock horns...fascinating stuff!

Do you know if you get a book of different shades of colours as in a pantone book for mixing paint or inks there is not a pantone ginger.There's every other colour under the sun but no ginger.Is this a form of discrimination.It's not under red or ......it's just not there.

[WillowTheWhisp]

Do you realise also that what I see on my screen as 'darkorchid' (ie the colour of my text) may not be the same as the colour you see on your screen which is the techy version of the age-old question as to whether what you see as ginger is the same as what I see as ginger - or indeed any other colour. Our eyes could be as different as the monitor screens we use.

I'd stop debating Willow.

Just give the Monkey a good spanking instead.

Eeew hek Grego ! No .. just shows how text can be misinterpreted (proving points above)..

Just sorta' meant, like, ahem, .. how many had Mani 'trialed' to make such an assumption .. hope that explains it.

Is it a British thing? Someone I know has a friend in America who told them that everyone she knows thinks ginger hair is adoreable and they love to see it.

[SPUGGIE J]

Read heads were around before blondes (who will be extinct in 200 years according to scientists) and dark haired people. Besides red headed blue eyed people are the original inhabitants in the British Isles until the was the start of our imigration problems.

Was red when younger and had red stuble which is now greying faster than GW Bush changes his mind.

[WillowTheWhisp]

I thought green eyes went naturally with red hair. Supposedly the traditional Irish colouring is red hair and green eyes.
