Little People Seek to Ban Racist Term “Midget”

M*dgets are petitioning the FCC to have the word “m*dget” banned from broadcast TV because it is racist against small people.
The group Little People of America said today the word is just as offensive as racial slurs.
The request was prompted by an April episode of NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice” that the group said was demeaning.
In a little gesture of smallidarity, we at F-Listed will banish the term “m*dget” to swear-word hell, where it can wither in the fires of shame alongside b*tch, @ss, f*ckwobbler, and It*lian. Video from the episode that started all the trouble, after the jump.
In 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.
Remember: the man who uses hurtful shortist slurs is truly the smallest… on the inside.
In thirty years, this video will be considered a benighted and coarse exercise in dark-ages thinking.

Wow, Kobe and Yao Ming mini me’s. I want one!
The only reason why they are making a sink is for money.
Where does it stop with the censorship? Pretty soon, saying just ANYTHING to anyone will be deemed as “offensive”. The people in this country have gotten so thin skinned it’s sickening.
