- kingnova, on 07/06/2009, -4/+513I was going to say fat people are still fair game, but they aren't a minority in America.
- fakhro, on 07/06/2009, -7/+509Dugg for the submitter replacing "little people" with "midgets" in title.
- purplesawdust, on 07/05/2009, -15/+448People are so uptight these days... Can we make fun of a minority for JUST ONE TIME and not be persecuted?
- govsucks, on 07/05/2009, -20/+433We should also ban "black" , "white", "short", "fat", "ugly", "dark" ,"light", "gimp", "retard" and any combination of the words "intelligent" and "collectivism"
- thinkb4utype, on 07/05/2009, -12/+419“Little People” sounds like you're referring to kids.
There's got to be a better term.
How about: Halfling, Dinky, Shorty, Knee High, Squints, Peeps, Munchkin, Elfin, Weenie, Half Pint, Peewee, Puny, Stubby, Teeny, or Shrimp? - AmnesiacJack, on 07/05/2009, -12/+342That's no small favor that they are asking for.
But in all seriousness can't we put these tiny differences aside and just laugh for once? - mikeinto, on 07/05/2009, -3/+219In the episode, contestants created a detergent ad called "Jesse James and the Midgets." The contestants, including Joan Rivers, suggested bathing little people in the detergent and hanging them to dry."
Why is this the first time I'm hearing of "Jesse James and the Midgets"
Thank you little people for bring this to my attention. - kingnova, on 07/06/2009, -12/+228This wasn't about your dick.
- bsonline, on 07/06/2009, -1/+210Normally, I would somewhat defend a minority. After all, not all blacks like chicken. Not all jewish people are cheap. Not all Asians are great at math. But, come on.. it's not an unjust stereotype. All midgets are short.
- eliot2000, on 07/05/2009, -1/+199I agree. The crises in Iran and North Korea dwarf this issue.
- chompapotamus, on 07/05/2009, -7/+153lol midgets
- kilsekddd, on 07/05/2009, -1/+145This will surely get tossed out of court.
- wheresjim, on 07/06/2009, -0/+138You can make fun of the Amish and still get away with it, since they don't do technology they'll never know.
- Bullislander05, on 07/06/2009, -1/+139How about "giant" too?
I'm 6'5" and it offends me to hear people use the word as if we're not human. I'm going to go create the society of vertically gifted people of American and press the FCC to ban the word "giant" and any of its synonyms! /s - MaxMyers, on 07/06/2009, -3/+133Oh snap!
- Haoie, on 07/05/2009, -1/+123Oompa Loompa is a good addition, that might've gone a bit far.
Still. - wheresjim, on 07/06/2009, -2/+120I honestly think the preferred description "little people" is more derogatory.
- bsonline, on 07/06/2009, -1/+115How about "avergage" too?
I'm 5'10" and it offends me to hear people use the word as if I'm just like everyone else. I'm going to go create the society of abnormality challenged people of American and press the FCC to ban language and any of it's uses! /cs - shadowman99, on 07/06/2009, -0/+113OOooo.... You're an angry elf! You must be a south pole elf!
- DavidGX, on 07/06/2009, -4/+114FREE SPEECH *****, do you use it?
- Fatcheeseguy, on 07/06/2009, -5/+101What do we call them now? Vertically challenged?
- cgbspender, on 07/06/2009, -2/+90Fine. Let's just say "hobbit" instead.
- squinky86, on 07/06/2009, -1/+87Unfortunately, the vote to ban the word "midgets" came up short.
- woodyex1, on 07/06/2009, -3/+87You certainly can. Stop refering to groups of people as minorities and then they become equals. Once they are considered equal you can call them whatever the hell you want.
MIDGET MIDGET MIDGET MIDGET!!!!!
Had to get it out of my system before the FCC bans it. - deathcapt, on 07/06/2009, -2/+86Oh YEAH!!!
- inigomntoya, on 07/06/2009, -0/+81What about Amish Midgets?
- RiotHeart, on 07/06/2009, -5/+84shutup newfag
- kingnova, on 07/06/2009, -4/+81This is a short sighted plan.
- bsonline, on 07/06/2009, -2/+79How about this. I don't want to be called white any more. Most minorities have gone over 1 or 2 "preferred names", and find any archaic use (colored, etc) to be offensive.
I'm not offended at being called White. The color has been drug through the mud, so to speak. From now on, my race shall be Eggshell or perhaps Off-White. No, make that Off-Eggshell.
If all things are equal, my race can change! - Fozefy, on 07/06/2009, -3/+73Oh fat!
- dafragsta, on 07/06/2009, -5/+74Oh Canada!
- Donotsurf, on 07/06/2009, -3/+71Oh Henry!
- inactive, on 07/06/2009, -0/+68Adding syllables won't make them taller.
- Rhendal, on 07/06/2009, -0/+68People have really short fuses these days.
- BREZZZ, on 07/06/2009, -1/+64I hope they have a child sized helmet and mattresses ready.
- gvoakes, on 07/06/2009, -5/+67Let's put them out of their midgery
- BREZZZ, on 07/06/2009, -4/+63I think "Midget" is one of the most elegant words in the language. Short, and you know exactly what it means. You have dwarf, okay, but you might be talking about a little guy that lives in the woods. "Little people" is not very descriptive, it could mean 4 foot tall, normal proportions, or 3 foot tall with approximately half of that being forehead. The latter is the quintessential "Midget" in my books, and should be 100% proud of that name. If any midgets are reading this-- keep on keepin' on my friends. You have shattered the entertainment industry, the bars sports industry, now you must break that 5 foot tall glass ceiling, get on a step stool and kick some ass in other fields like I know you can.
- darkuk, on 07/06/2009, -0/+58I agree aswell. For such a small percentage of the population their campaign will no doubt be stunted in a short amount of time.
- ReDoEr, on 07/06/2009, -3/+61Oh hai !!
- danielttt, on 07/05/2009, -1/+58You forgot schmuck...that's the one that really gets me...
- psychedelanon, on 07/06/2009, -9/+66and newfag
- SlipStream89, on 07/06/2009, -6/+61And I thought this was an Onion headline.
- nichiplechle, on 07/06/2009, -3/+57O RLY ?
- CoryTrevor, on 07/06/2009, -3/+56Oh hio
- jdh24, on 07/05/2009, -9/+62what a ***** midget.
- Googled, on 07/06/2009, -4/+56Oh Wait...what?
- Slackdragon, on 07/06/2009, -2/+54So what are we supposed to call all the ***** cracker fag midgets now?
- illDecree, on 07/06/2009, -3/+55Oh noes!
- coolcole93, on 07/06/2009, -1/+52I think we should firgive him, despite all his shortcomings.
- SpoonMSU, on 07/06/2009, -0/+50FIND THE HALFLING!!!
