Blonde jokes are set to be banned in Hungary after blonde women staged an angry protest outside parliament.
The protestors handed in a petition claiming they were being discriminated against in every walk of life by bad taste blonde jokes.
And spokeswoman Zsuzsa Kovacs said: "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."
The petition was handed to the equal opportunities minister Kinga Goncz asking her to investigate whether jokes about blondes fall into the same category as religious discrimination.
The petition was just short of the 100,000 needed to force Parliament to debate the matter but Goncz's deputy who spoke to the crowd pledged the government would act to stop any discrimination.
Blondes - real and bleached - protested outside the ministry as the petition was handed in, waving banners with slogans like 'We're blonde, not stupid' and Love us for our minds.
Hungary has unwearily enacted a policy to fight a form of bigotry that Americans have come to tolerate.
A blonde decides to go hunting for deer on her own for the first time ever. She sees a deer and fires, dropping the animal.
A guy comes up to her: "You can't take that animal, it's mine!"
The blonde gets mad and waves her rifle at the guy, threateneing to shoot him if he doesn't give her the deer.
"OK, OK, lady, you can have the deer, but can I keep my saddle?"
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!
Why did the horny neo-Nazi blonde go to Budapest?
...She heard that it's full of Hungarians!
This action is going ahead even though it was the Czech parliament.
Ever notice how all the blonde jokes never involve blond men (such as yours truly). Why? I figure it's the tradition rising out of the Middle Ages of the Blond Knightly Hero who whoops up on the darkies. Or am I just reading too much into this?
Tilt steering!
I think you go WAY too far back with it. I feel pretty sure it is a 20th century, probably late 20th century thing.
Anyway, my point is being the brunt of a joke is NOT discrimination, it's being the brunt of a joke.
"We're blonde not, stupid."
I don't why this is, but for some reason, all of the blond characters in major motion pictures have evil character traits associated with them.
Maybe it has something to do with all those strange Norse myths.
