Ed Sheeran says South Park ruined his life

[Kimmo 81,566]

 

The singer, 30, told how red hair was never something people in America would make fun of until an episode of the animated series that aired in November 2005.

Ed referenced the episode which saw Eric Cartman become ginger and developed a mysterious case of 'gingervitis', he had the line: 'the ginger gene is a curse'. He said: 'Having red hair in England was always a thing that people took the p*** out of you for. But it was never something in America. People never knew what a ginger was in America. 
That episode of South Park f****** ruined my life. I was going to America and everyone was like "I love your hair dude." And I was like "Oh my God, people like my hair?"

'And then I remember that episode coming out and that was just it worldwide for the rest of my life.'

The episode was said to have inspired the National Kick A Ginger Day in 2008 which saw several red-haired students assaulted.

I've had light ginger hair since I was a child in the 90s and was teased all throughout life, definitely before 2005. I didn't realize ginger hair didn't exist in America until South Park invented it

This definitely exists in America, but they tend to make fun of your music before your hair color
