can the blond person sue the company who shoots the comercial? the comercial was by VONAGE phone company. so they say there is a smart idea which is to use VONAGE and a stupid idea. in the comercial there is a blond with her boyfriend laying on the beach. the blond hears a bunch of people running out of the ocean screaming "SHARK, SHARK, EVERYONE GET OUT OF THE WATER" the blond girl says "WHAT IS EVERYONE AFRAID OF?" then she looks on to the ocean and tells her boyfriend "HEY HONEY LOOK A BUNCH OF DOLHINS LETS GO PLAY WITH THEM". and the blond girl goes into the ocean to play with the sharks which she thinks are dolphins. isn't that like any DUMB BLOND joke thing? and if you're a blond and take it seriously because there are soo many stupid blond jokes out there. and then people see you're a blond and think you're stupid. can you just sue the Vonage Company because you feel offended?

Of course you can sue them, if you can find a lawyer dumb enough to take your case (I would only talk to blond lawyers, just to be sure). The question is would you win?
Probably not. You might bother them enough that they throw a few bucks your way to make you go away. Or, if the company is owned by a self-righteous pain like me, they might counter-sue you and run your legal fees into the thousands of dollars. And it would be very doubtful you would win anything because you have no real damages. Hurt feelings are not sufficient to be awarded money.
But hey, your lawyer will continue billing you and cashing the checks, laughing his/her dumb blond butt all the way to the bank.
Get real, I'm blond, short and pre-menopausal. I hear an offensive joke about one of those 3 things every day.

You won't be taken seriously and that is what you want isn't it? Don't let it bother you. Stupid people come with all hair colors just like intelligent people. There are plenty of smart blondes in this world. If you know you are intelligent then don't worry about it. That's all that matters. I mean, if I wanted to I could say I am offended by the blondes have more fun comment (being a brunette) but that would just be silly. I know that's not true. I had plenty of FUN in my day, lol.

LOL There have been blond jokes around for decades. NO need to be offended. Don't take them seriously. Gosh.
By the way, I AM blond. I have been hearing blond jokes for years and people (mostly men) have thought me dumb. I prove them wrong of course. I'm not offended by the jokes and I just ignore them; just as you should. There are too many greedy people in this world and this is the last thing you should sue for.

I wouldn't take it personally. It's the "blond" image that Hollywood has created that makes you want to barf. Alot of men and women buy into it and it's a shame that even corporations whose job it is to sell a product shoot themselves in the foot because there are reasonable, rational blondes who are not dopey idiots falling prey to every hot to trot guy who comes their way. Look what the image did to poor Marilyn Monroe - men still drool over her today - and she was a rational, responsible brunette on the inside. She was forced to portray this awful image that we still promote today - and for her it meant an untimely death. People don't even give that a second thought. Poor girl. Marketing is so gross today anyway - they think that men will buy anything if they portray it as attracting "dumb" blondes. Think about how many sickening ads there are out there - you could sue for the rest of your life and never catch up. Just don't buy from them. If enough people wise up it will hurt their pockets. I know it does for me - they Vonage probably spends $100/year in mailings just trying to get me to buy and I won't.

I am blond and I have never been in the least bit offended. There have been moments where my hair color has made life a little difficult, but I think blond jokes are hilarious!
People are willing to sue for everything these days, but that is no guarantee that their case will hold water.

Anyone can sue anyone for anything (if you could find a lawyer to take the case which I doubt). But a lawsuit like that would get thrown out immediately.
