Name Calling

The Little People of America want to ban the use of the word "midget" on television! The LPA talked about the issue at their annual conference in Brooklyn on Monday, stating that using the term "midget" is discriminatory and filing a complaint with the FCC. Most recently, the LPA were angered by the use of the "M-Word" on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice with a challenge in which the contestants produced a laundry soap ad called Jesse James and the Midgets, where suggestions of "bathing little people in the detergent and hanging them to dry" were made. But the LPA's protest in the form of e-mails and phone calls to the FCC, Donald Trump and NBC were all ignored.
