Everyone in the mountain commune in Kunming, southern China, must be under 4ft 3ins tall - and they run their own police force and fire brigade from their 120 residents.

Now the group has turned itself into a tourist attraction by building mushroom houses and living and dressing like fairy tale characters.

I guess that if you can’t say anything nice about someone, don’t say anything at all.

Soon talk radio hosts will have to say “mmm mmmm mmmm mmm mmmm” instead of giving commentary.

Former Diff’rent Strokes star Gary Coleman has revealed that he hates his new movie. The 41-year-old former child actor is reportedly unhappy with his participation in “shockumentary” Midgets Vs. Mascots, according to the New York Post. The film depicts a faux competition between five diminutive people and five sports team mascots going head-to-head in mechanical bull rides, basketball shootouts and foot races. “I’m actually pretty embarrassed by this whole thing,” Coleman said. “I don’t’ like it when small people are made fun of...”

A Chinese Fire Drill is performed when a car is stopped at a traffic light, at which point all of the car's occupants get out, run around the car, and return to the car (not necessarily their original seat).

This is a decent description from wikipedia. I was just continuing the joke. I thought the term "Chinese Fire Drill" was more commonly known. Sorry. :]
