''F * * * Off, I'm Ginger'' was a BBC Three documentary about the body image and contrasting stereotypes surrounding ginger hair. It aired on 29 April 2007 as part of BBC's ''Body Image'' series including ''F * * * Off, I'm Fat'' and ''F * * * Off, I'm a Hairy Woman''. It was presented by ginger haired comedian Daniel Wright, and followed his attempts to get a date with any woman despite his hair colour. Wright's comedy partner Stephen Marsh also appeared. The documentary is about the life of a ginger haired person and how hard they, especially men, have it amongst the world around them. It aims to persuade people who discriminate against ginger hair to change their ways and respect ginger haired people just like any other person. It contained interviews with ginger haired actors Charlie Clements (Bradley Branning in ''EastEnders''), in which he spoke about becoming typecast as a ginger actor, and about Bradley's portrayal as a geek in the show and Jennie McAlpine (Fiz Brown in ''Coronation Street''), who said she had never been bullied for being ginger. Several members of the public were also interviewed, including a redheaded man who had taken to dying his hair blond to avoid abuse and another ginger who moved to the United States to avoid what he considered discrimination in the UK. Helped by an advertising firm, Saatchi and Saatchi, Dan Wright also launched an advertising campaign with the slogan "You Can't Beat a Ginger", containing three billboard messages; one showing Boris Becker alongside Tim Henman, with the number of Grand Slams they had won underneath their pictures (Becker's 6, and Henman's 0). Similar adverts were created with Nicole Kidman (1 Oscar, 3 Golden Globes and a BAFTA) and Cameron Diaz (nothing) and Winston Churchill (1 World War) and Adolf Hitler (no World Wars). One of F * * * Off, I'm Ginger's participants started a blog entitled Militant Ginger as a result of this program, which occasionally addresses issues of 'ginger discrimination' and 'gingerism.' ==External links== * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「F*** Off, I'm Ginger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
