How about making the midgets call themselves something different? Why is it that everyone else must go to the time and trouble of changing their business, their advertising, their brand names, their reputation, and the industry vocabulary all for some whiny people who can’t stand themselves so much that any reference to them must somehow be an insult.

In related news, the USDA main computer handling PC (Politically Correct) issues experienced a complete meltdown when a staffer ran a search on the acceptability of items labeled “Jumbo Shrimp”.
PC issues were temporarily being handled by a Mac until someone asked if it was “Alar Free”. It, too, experienced a complete meltdown.

I am small and I resent them using that term. At times I am also gay. However, I am not a homosexual. I resent the expropriation of the word “gay” by the sodomites.

You know, if you can’t call humans “midget,” you might as well use it on something non-humans. I suppose midget pickles are next... or did I miss that news flash?

Sorta like rearranging the deck furniture on the Titanic. Perhaps there are more important issues to tackle.

If you see this woman, report her immediately to the United States Department of Political Correctness. They'll wipe that smile right off her face.
