BBC News report on gingerfest in Wolverhampton

Just one ginger follicle away from being a Day Today sketch, this piece from BBC West Midlands in praise about the opening of a ginger hair exhibition is something else entirely.

One of the opening lines says it all, "For centuries having ginger hair has meant you're the butt of many jokes..but that's about to change with the opening of a new photographic exhibition in Wolverhampton. Gingerfest."

Currently the most watched video on BBC News in the UK, and 4th most emailed story. Go on, you know you want to watch it...

Even just for the pleasure of hearing on the BBC that way under-used line, "So now you can say it loud. I'm ginger and proud".
