I'm watching this at this very moment, so I'm getting a kick out of this.

the should just play duck bowling. or at least i think its called that.

This makes me so incredibly angry. To find out that something like this is going on, and I've been missing out all this time.

They should replace trampoline at the Olympics with this sport.

/love to see this in person

I know that the euphemism treadmill says that we should be calling them "little people" now but doesn't anyone else find it degrading to refer to them that way?

It's either that or "Wee Folk".

Actually, Wee Folk sounds better.

"Wee Folk" sounds like someone who has urinary incontinence problems or bladder issues or a similar nature.
"One of the Wee Folk has to go wee wee."

why do they always refuse to be the bigger men and not rise to the bait?

geeze - grow up already.

Your not the only one. If it's how someone would like to be described, then I'll use it.

But personal comfort wise, if there was ever a point where I needed to describe someone by their genetics, I'd rather say "Joe has a form of dwarfism" than say "Joe is a little person"

The Little People?

Midget bowling is bad.

Rich nubians in Paris?

Now that's a damn niggity right good thing.

believe their complaints about the indignity of the sport should dwarf all else


No reason to be short with us.

Lookat that! They put a suit on it!!!

Midget please.

If you don't like it then you can just go follow the yellow brick road....

It gives them a chance to be 'cool', you know hang around with those gangs of morons everyone thinks are cool. As long as the bowlee is fine with it, why is it the business of some pissy advocacy group.

I'm waiting for sledding with the morbidly obese.

Halflings are good at cultivating pipeweed and eating mushrooms.

White guilt.

But, it beats the hell out of what bored white people used to do to minorities.

/as told by Doug Stanhope

I too have a dream that one day dwarves will be treated equally. Sure, the dwarf wasn't taken from his homeland, enslaved, whipped and forced to change his name... but I've never seen a black man fired from a cannon.

Maybe they should convince themselves not to take the jobs rather than try to shape employers from not offering such jobs.

People take what they feel are the best opportunities. Joseph Merrick (The Elephant Man) couldn't get a decent job and been living in a workhouse for years when he decided to get out of there by contacting a showman to make him a freak show exhibit. That worked until society turned against freak show exhibits and police would close down his shows. His later stay in a special wing of the hospital where he became a celebrity was, ultimately, a better standard of freak show.

Because their entire business plan is to be a pissy advocate. They have little else.

"Sure you won't gutter-ball me?"

I_Can't_Believe_it's_not_Boutros: I had a problem with midget bowling, too. I found her fingerholes, but I couldn't find the thumbhole.

Modified shocker position?

"Midget bowling? You gonna get split, muthafarka."

...works best if you throw them like frisbees.

//same with midgets

As long as there's no tossing.

Late 1970's on ESPN after hours at the bar-
Laugh like an idiot. It was a study in stupidity.

2012, it's still going on?

It used to be funny. The joke is over and worn out.
Now it's just hurtful

Why did the term "midget" fall out of favor? "Dwarf" sounds much more derogative...and "little person" seems pretty open ended....

/have a friend, that at 28 years old is 4'-4", but is proportionally fine, she's a "little person", but doesn't have any dwarfism features
