In her email to TakePart, Martinka explains, "Although many people do not know, the m-word is derogatory, not just some innocuous word meaning small, as it was 50 years ago."

I don't suppose the reason no one knows it's derogatory and it wasn't derogatory at all 50 years ago is because it isn't derogatory and you're just a neurotic, Martinka!?!

Kosher Dill Dwarfs?

They bowed down to her and agreed to rename them “Cains Teeny Weenie Pickles”

A local gay group immediately filed suit..

Cains responded WTF and immediately stopped operations, costing 200 Thousand Jobs, and stated 200 thousand isn’t all that many when you figure a Congressman said 170 Million jobs would be lost due to the Equestrian Cuts.

The CEO was wondering what Horses had to do with pickles and Government Cuts.

What a sour puss.

I hope they change it to shriveled dwarf pickles!

Tootsie Roll to Cains Pickles: Don't even think about changing the "T" to a second "E" or we'll sue.

I am deeply offended and hurt by the above product. As one who is melanin challenged, this attack on people of the white race is outrageous. It's nothing short of a call for genocide I tell you!

I want 72.9 zillion dollar for my suffering!

I have said it before, and I'll probably say it again (given a hint of opportunity)

Never drink with angry midgets - nothing good will come of it !

I guess you can’t call your product “giants” either?

All she changed is the name on the pickle jar, The little girl will still be considered a midget by 90% of people.

It isn’t a derogatory word any more than dwarf is.It is just descriptive.

Next she will attack the word Little.

Cains introduces new “Halal Tart Dwarf” pickles.

They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick em up
Just to say hello.

What an incredible bunch of idiots (and I use the term not caring in the least whether it is considered politically incorrect these days). How and when did the word “midget” enter the ever-growing and possibly infinite category of words that someone, somewhere, might possibly find insulting?

The mother, as well as the “journalist” who wrote the story, should know that achondroplastic dwarves are not midgets, anyway. They are dwarves. There is a difference.

Finally, if I lived where Cains Pickles are sold, I would be getting in touch with the company to explain that I would no longer purchase their product because of their spineless accommodation of this stupid woman. The cost of relabeling the pickles and of promoting the new name will no doubt be passed along to consumers, and I would rather not help pay.

Odd Couple midget photo shoot

I immediately thought of this scene when I read the headline.

[Chode]

[Mercat]

I’m fine with not using the word midget but why is it more derogatory than dwarf?
