Report Card
On the podcast, Alpine walks through how this amazing ginger theme came to exist. Here’s the full “Ginger Kids” episode of South Park that brought the word ginger to the USA in the first place — one of the best-ever eps of that show. Here’s Coppercab’s enraged response, songified above. And more on the Gregory Brothers here.

Our reaction is a resounding, disappointed sigh. The Webby Awards’ other (better) nominees were Texts from Hillary, the Michelle Bachmann Newsweek cover, and the Neil Degrasse Tyson meme.
(Corrections Corner: Sorry for mispronouncing “Degrasse” and attributing the Bachmann meme to Conan — I guess it was really the Newsweek cover itself that sparked the meme. My Bs. — Alpine)
