Hulk Hogan brings you....midget wrestling. Western Civilization may be ending...I am just appalled.
TruTV taps Hulk Hogan for little person wrestling league TV show | Radio & TV Talk
I personally think wrestling is the stupidest thing ever, but if midgets want to do it, why shouldn't they be able to and even have a crowd cheering them on?
On the other hand, it's not like Hogan invented midget wrestling; it's been around a while.
What next? Amputee wrestling?
If an amputee can run a marathon without anything being said, why couldn't he/she wrestle?

That's not the same thing.
These people suffer deformities and are being exploited for it...wrong, wrong, wrong.
Oh come now. 40 or 50 years ago deformed people were still working carnivals to be gawked at by spectators and making room and board for it. THAT was exploitation.
The Little People would probably not like being characterized as deformed; some of them would be quite cross with you for that. A lot of them choose to be in entertainment industries, using their small size as an advantage, a rarity and novelty factor to earn a better living than they might have otherwise. Others work as professionals in various fields like IT or business or engineering or most anything a normal-size person does... well other than professional basketball. :lol:
You're really making a big ado about nothing.
:shrug: Midgets are inherently funny, I don't see the problem.

To add.....
Why is it that we are expected to fear and respect the large folks while ridicule and pity the small ones?
"When television is good, nothing — not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers — nothing is better.
But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your own television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.
You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly commercials — many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it."
