Natural Blondes to be Extinct in 200 Years; Bottle Blondes to Blame?

Uh oh, the BBC News has reported on a study by German scientists that natural blondes will die out in about 200 years or so. The reason being that the gene for blonde hair is recessive - meaning the gene needs to be passed down from both of the parents. They predict that the last blonde on earth will be born in Finland - the world’s most blonde country (and clearly somewhere I need to visit).
It’s all Ann Widdecombe’s fault

busy stealing your men.
According to the report, natural blondes will become extinct because men prefer the fake and blonder bottle blondes, and chances are they wont carry the natural blonde gene. Yes that’s right folks, total hottie bottle blondes like Ann Widdecombe (pictured left) are stealing all the men.
Well, this is terrible news. No, not the fact that article used Ann as an example, although that is admittedly pretty terrible, but rather the problem I’m going to have getting seven blonde girlfriends at age 225 when there will only be one left in the entire world?! Geez, I better keep plenty of bottles of peroxide on hand for when that day comes! Imagine a world full of just darkheads? (shudders).
But hold the press - don’t be writing the blonde obituaries just yet. After a bit of digging on this story, the popular urban myth website snopes reported this claim was false. The vague source of “German experts” which reference a WHO (World Heatlh Organization) study was apparently not true:
“We’ve certainly never conducted any research into the subject,” WHO spokeswoman Rebecca Harding said from Geneva. “It’s been impossible to find out where it came from. It just seems like it was a hoax.”
Apparently, this type of story has been reported throughout the centuries so a claim like this is hardly new. But the blondes are still around to this day so I think we are safe for now. Snopes concludes by stating this:
No matter how old and ingrained this extinction belief may be, however, blondes and blonde-lovers probably need not fear the imminent demise of natural blondeness. Most scientists asked to comment on the faux study in recent years have opined that although the proportion of blondes in the population might decrease a bit in coming years, it likely won’t drop to nothing any time in the foreseeable future.
So all you blonde lovers can stop worrying that your great grandchilden won’t be able to enjoy some blonde lovin’ too. But just in case, my advice would be not to limit yourself to dating less than say, three blondes at a time, to make sure you maximize the time while they are still around.

2 THUMBS UP FOR BOTTLE BLONDES!! PLASTIC MAKES PERFECT
There wasn´t anything really suprising in these articles..
As a natural blonde AND from finland, the side of this what really interests me, is how can so many man find the bottle blondes more attractive? We here recognize the differences between fake and real ones immeaditely. Sometimes we find its quite amusing the see someone dark having a desperate screaming yellow head. I think there`s nothing attractive with that..
I have at least three friends including me, who were born with blue eyes and really, blonde hair. We´re still blondes, and have to admit, quite horrified. Thinking we´re the last ones is depressing..
Well, a hot tip to those born as brunettes: stick with that. You won`t trick us, nor yourselves.
Natural blonde is way better hands down.
HERE’S FACTS ABOUT REAL BLONDES AND DYED BLONDES FOR YOU (REAL BRUNETTE)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2284783.stm
“A study by experts in Germany suggests people with blonde hair are an endangered species and will become extinct by 2202.”
“But they say too few people now carry the gene for blondes to last beyond the next two centuries.”
“Dyed rivals
The researchers also believe that so-called bottle blondes may be to blame for the demise of their natural rivals.
They suggest that dyed-blondes are more attractive to men who choose them as partners over true blondes.”
Like i said so few real blondes and most real blondes are not pretty- bland plain looking and ugly. More Brunettes have better faces.=)Most good-looking blondes you see in the media and everywhere are real brunettes they have the face of brunette! Even the ‘blonde bombshells’ like Marilyn Monroe, Scarlet Johansson, Jessica Simpson, Alicia silverstone, Ashley tisdale, Paris Hilton, Pam Anderson ect etc (search for “what is the real hair color of____) are real brunette! Most Swedish women have light brown hair, it is known Swede women admit so many of them dye their hair blonde. About only 20% of Finnish women are real blondes. Only few have real blue eyes too. A LOT of women wear blue contacts too esp. in the media as it’s idealized and they think look better in photogrpahs. one is Paris Hilton. search for ceelbrities who wear blue contacts.
So you arrogant real blondes and foolish stupid men who worship blondes and think they are superior to brunettes get that to your head dumb$$e$.
The blondes you admire so much whom you think are natural so your brainwashed mind think they are ‘goddesses’ or ’superior’ and better looking are likely bottled blondes=real brunette! lol moron don’t look down on brunettes as these blondes are real brunette. most real blondes are bland plain looking and ugly that’s why most men prefer dyed blonde who have the face of prettier brunette.
i think this is a load of bull! i was born blonde but i still enhance my hair with dye and bleach. its been pretty much every colour imaginable. also, neither of my parents are blonde but two of the four of their kids, including me are blonde, and we don’t have german or swedish blood.
also, don’t play the ugly card, as i’m signed with a modelling agency.
therefore, i concur, this is utter bullshit! x
Bottled blondes look fake. Natural blondes look like aliens. But increasingly, blondes are associated with being bland and dark hair is associated with being exotic. At least that’s what methinks.
it was a hoax genes cant die out unless they are being destroyed int he same place.
i personally think that bottle blondes look up to real blondes
but at the end of the day who will be having blonde kids?
