This joke definately predates the indicated date; obviously as you follow the links back the date gets older, and I've seen Apr 19 2005 now.
Stereo-typical jokes may offend some people who don't want to be associated with that group. What really happens is that (1) If the stereotypical unit deviates from the original attributes, the original stroes fall away. (2) If the STU does not alter its long term behavoir the STU them begins to embrace the ST jokes.
The best example is my blond secretary who has at least one dumb blonde joke every week. I love her jokes and kid her about being a dumb blonde, but we both know the truth, that without her, this entire office would be lost.
Ruling anything "OUT" because it might offend somneone, invariably offends far more people. How / where / when do draw the line is a true art. An art of real correctness, where as political correctness often has its own agenda. It is an art of humanities which I only attempt to be fully aware.
Do say the distinction is arbitrary is an understatement. However; Lets not disband humor in the name of Political Correctness. Humor is necessary for Mental health, and a fall guy is necessary for a joke.

Last time I checked, Wikipedia was not an online joke book. Many of the following are gratuitously offensive. So, if we can agree on a few shinign examples which improve understanding of the form then fine, but otherwise I'd say better not to have them sincethe examples section seems to act like a magnet for sophomoric humour.

Blonde jokes are not even offensive, much less "gratuitously offensive," dear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.12.253.66 ( talk) 22:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
"Why did the blonde climb over the glass wall? A: To see what was on the other side."
What kind of glass was it? Probably not transparant. James Blond 02:50, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Wonder what sources can be mentioned of this article as a whole. Aren't these jokes also told by for instance Palestinians about Jews and reversed? James Blond 03:22, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
"Bill Murray told a story about a blond coyote who became caught in a trap, and despite gnawing off three of its legs, was still caught in the trap."
The following objections against presence of this text in the article:
Don't think it's a sign of unintelligence, to be not the kind of type, that's mainly causing global warming, global overpopulation and more like that. James Blond 03:29, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
The continued vandalism of this page via the deletion of the jokebook is nothing but a thinly-veiled attempt to expunge blonde jokes from their rightful place in an encyclopedic collection of knowledge. This list runs the gamut from the everyday to the absurd, and serves to demonstrate the versatility of this cultural form. Its deletion is comparable to the burning of Alexandria's Library, or the forced cultural assimilation of the Ainu. Shame on User 202.54.176.51 for his attempts to erase this cultural legacy. -- 76.69.143.73 ( talk) 21:01, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
