| Blonde jokes banned! |
| 2004-11-25 |
| Blonde jokes might soon be a thing of past, as they have already been banned in Hungary after blonde women staged an angry protest outside the parliament. The protestors reportedly also handed in a petition claiming they were being discriminated against in every walk of life by bad taste blonde jokes. "Blondes face discrimination in the job market, in the workplace when they get a job, and even on the streets.People are banned from discriminating against Jews, or blacks, so why not grant blondes the same protection,"protestors spokesperson Zsuzsa Kovacs, was quoted by the Ananova, as saying. The petition asks for an investigation into whether jokes about blondes fall into the same category as religious discrimination. |

| #5 I think Dolly Parton had the last word when an interviewer asked her how she felt about "dumb blonde" jokes. "First, I know I ain't dumb." "Second, I know I ain't blonde." |

| #4 My daughter, the Marine known as Cpl. Blondie (who is---and I have pictures to prove it---a natural blond of such blondness that her hair is nearly white after summers spent in the outdoors) maintains a large and growing collection of blond jokes... but then, she is intelligent enough to not feel threatened by the stereotype. |

| #2 So, I guess jokes made in good taste are ok? I don't know any, and I think I've heard them all. I've even told a few, so I guess I've discriminated against myself. Wow, that is like, soooo confusing! (BTW, just wanted to point out most dumb blondes started out as brunettes!) |
