Time's Short For Blonde Jokes

By the year 2202 blonde jokes will belong to a museum.

(PRWEB) August 1, 2004 -- In less than two hundred years from now blonde jokes will belong to museums and book archives. Thats because by the year 2202 the last blonde will probably be living somewhere in Finland and chemically un-assisted blondes the world over will have become extinct.

The research, carried out by experts in Germany and recently announced on the BBC World News website makes for a tight deadline to circulate some classic blonde jokes. If you think you have all the time in the world to email one of your buddies the reason the blonde crossed the street, well now you know that this is not the case," says Projects Editor, David Amerland, who oversaw the production of Cool Publications The Jumbo Book of Blonde Jokes. Two hundred years is really no time at all, geologically speaking. Before you know it one of the greatest traditions of European culture will have died out."

While for the majority of the world hair is uniformly bad, in Europe a recessive gene makes blonde and red hair relatively commonplace. This has given rise to a tradition about dumb blondes thats peculiar to Anglo-Saxon and Germanic cultures.

The belief that hair colour is associated with certain personality traits is widespread amongst the population as a whole. Dr Tony Cassidy and Georgina Harris of the University of Coventry asked 120 people (60 men, 60 women) to look at pictures of a female model wearing four different coloured wigs ranging: platinum blonde, natural blonde, brown and red.

They subjects then were asked to rate the model for intelligence, shyness, aggressiveness, temperament and popularity. The results, presented to the British Psychological Societys annual conference in Belfast, showed that the platinum blonde model was rated less intelligent by all, though more so by men.
