Blondes die out by 2202

NATURAL blondes are an endangered species and will be extinct by 2202, say scientists.

There are too few people carrying the blonde gene for the hair colour to continue down the generations.

So women and men with blonde hair, blonde eyebrows and blue eyes will vanish from the face of the earth within 200 years, says the World Health Organisation.

Researchers predict the last blonde will live in FINLAND which has the highest number of true blondes in the world.

The problem is that blonde hair is caused by a recessive gene.

A child has to have the gene on both sides of the family in the grandparents’ generation to get blonde hair.

But blonde genes are rapidly becoming watered down.

A spokesman for the WHO research team said: “It looks like their days are numbered.”

And bottle blondes like singer Kylie Minogue and surgically- enhanced model Jordan may even be responsible for the demise of their natural rivals.

The WHO spokesman added: “Artificial blondes tend to be blonder and possibly more attractive to men.

“This could mean more and more men are selecting them as partners over their naturally blonde peers.”

The number of bottle blondes is likely to soar.

A German study has found fair-haired waitresses or barmaids earn 20 per cent more in tips than others.

That seals it -- I am immediately going to appeal to the Civil Right Commission for 'protected status'. This is a genocide on my people. Us blond haired, blue eyed people have made significant contributions to this country, and we deserve protection from genetic extinction, and equal consideration under the laws.

PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF THE DOUBLE-RECESSIVE GENE!!!

This article was probably written by a blonde.

Not all dumbs are blond, though.

Great! Maybe then I could get a job!

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Heheh - the big question is how many real blondes there may be.

Some idiot approved and funded this research? Yep, Kofi Annan.

[DeFault User]

Gotta be reparations here somewhere... This ain't just slavery, it's extinction. Somebody has to pay now!

[Bob Quixote]

How can recessive genes die out? They're always there, and ever so often two of them get together in the same person. That's how two brown-eyed parents can have a blue-eyed child, for example. So how can blondes become extinct?

These must be the same scientists who claim that all possible music will have been written by 2007. Then again...have you listened to the radio lately?

I am a natural blonde, my grandmother and greatgrandmother were natural blondes, actually both of my grandmothers were probably blonde. All of my three children were blonde as young kids, though not as blonde as I. It doesn't appear to be dying out with my family.

Is that when the white man will also be gone????

I'm assuming that this is a joke (look at the source.)

Horrors - you're not actually suggesting that the Sun is unreliable, are you? ;)

Well, I've read that blondes are naturally more likely to die out just from making poor decisions.

Like the blonde who had always wanted to take horseback riding lessons and showed up for her first session all decked out in her western duds. She timidly climbed onto the horse's back and was horrified when the horse immediately took off at a fast pace. She felt her manicured hands slipping from the reins and grabbed for the horse's mane. Her boots fell from the stirrups and she felt her body shifting to one side with every wild stride of the galloping horse. Terrified, she began to scream, her body slipping every farther from the saddle. She was flung this way and that, her fingers slipping from their death grip on the horse's mane. Just as she was about to be dragged to her death, Bob the Walmart greeter unplugged the ride.

She was one of the lucky ones.

I was born a natural blond, my one sister a natural redhead, my other sister a natural dark brunette. Our grandparents and parents all had brown hair. Go figure.

And yes, my mom always bought milk at the grocery store.

The percentage of blonde (or blond for that matter) genes will tend to stay constant. Recessive genes are neither more nor less likely to die out than dominant genes.

Except if blonde women and men tend to produce less children than those of other hair color which is probably true. It's probably time to shift your investments in tanning solutions to hair bleach.

Of course, this report came from the same publication that produces this: Babe calendar girls

How do you account for your wit, Leni? It's not natural ;-)

The store didn't deliver milk???

[dalereed]

"Is that when the white man will also be gone????"

Find and deport ALL illegal aliens, there isn't a blond in the bunch!

[Right Wing Professor]

It's crap. Recessive genes are inherited at the same rate as dominant genes.
