Editing Ginger Kids (episode) (section)

===Pointless Observations===
"Gingervitus" is a disease which causes very light skin, red hair, and freckles, and "it occurs because Ginger kids have no souls."  Kids who have Gingervitus cannot be cured. People who have this disease but don't have to avoid the sun are called "Daywalkers."   This is not to be confused with "Gingivitus," which is a disease causing inflammation of the gums.  

We get our first glance at the boys' new Hispanic-looking bus driver in this episode.  The job has been vacant since Ms. Crabtree was murdered in last season's "Cartman's Incredbile Gift" .  The driver looks an awful lot like the "Stereotypical Sleepy Mexican" we met in "The Death Camp of Tolerance" .

During production of this episode the staff turned up some interesting information about Gingers. Redheads apparently require more anesthetic than "regulars" during surgery, because they have a higher tolerance to drugs. Redheads in England are seeking minority status. And there are actually a few redheaded Japanese -- the product of long-ago unions between Dutch sailors and the locals.
