Did anyone else not know that apparently the word "midget" is highly offensive midgets? I didn't. But I guess it's a big no no in the small world of midgets. I guess they prefer "Little People", which imo is way worse. Not to mention I hardly think it properly describes midgets. My 2 year old nephew is a little person. My grandma is 5'1" and barely over 100 lbs. She's a little person. Why should they be lumped in with these overly sensitive midgets?
The story I was told is that to some midgets, they think being called midgets is just as bad as calling black people the N word. Imo, that's offensive to black people. I guess if you are a black midget you really have it tough. Am I just late to the party on this whole offending midgets thing or does anyone else think the word midget is offensive? I don't follow in line with the bs PC garbage that is constantly shoved down our throats anyways. I'm just wondering.
But no, I didn't watch this stupid show. Not because they are midgets but because it's Hulk Hogan. Why waste my time. I'm sure the show will be canceled before we know it.

I'm waiting for Hogan to weed his way into the title picture in this federation.

The Little People topic goes way back to even Seinfeld in a funny episode about Mickey a actor who is a Little Person heightening so he can remain a stand-in for a growing kid. So I gather that Spike TV Midget wrestling was killed off, I never cared for Midget Wrestling...

Here we go -
TMZ.com is reporting the following:
"The guys from "Half Pint Brawlers" feel so ripped off by Hulk Hogan's new "midget wrestling" show on TruTV, they're talkin' lawsuit.
HPB's founder Puppet the Psycho Dwarf tells TMZ ... Hulk's new show, "Micro Championship Wrestling," is straight up stealing.
"Half Pint Brawlers" on Spike TV followed a group of midget wrestlers trying to create a specialty brand ... which is exactly what Hulk is doing on TruTV.
The reality star goes on to say, "There were a lot of situations that appeared to be copied from what we already did. There were also statements made by members that are almost the exact words out of my mouth." One insider says the little fellas felt "short-changed". Get it?
