The world of terminally offended people brings you another example of someone in too tight underwear!! And a company afraid of a lawsuit.

Why not just eliminate the word from the dictionary? /s

More PC run amok.

I have an apple tree that gets very angry when I tell people that it is a dwarf.

How about if we just start calling them "white man" pickles.....

Ban and confiscate all bottles of "midget" pickles. The proper term is height disadvantaged.

So now call them "dwarf" pickles.

Keep the name. Put the midget pickles on the top shelf and she will never see them. There, fixed it.

I think we should call them "Little People" pickles. In fact, I feel so strongly about this that I´m going to go to Kroger´s and ask them where they keep the "Little People" pickles.

#7, thanks for the laugh. I like the way you think!

What a retarded idea.

"Midget´ will still define Ms. Martinka´s intellect and her emotional maturity!!
A 10-month old. PC overload!!!!

The tyranny of the minority in the Land Of The Perpetually Offended.
.

This ignorant woman doesn´t know that her child with dwarfism is not a midget. Midgets are little perfectly proportioned people. Her child will have disproportionately short limbs and other defects. Her main defect will be a mother who should have kept her mouth shut.

The pickle company has an out, though it may not sound zingy on a label - "homunculus".

Read on about dwarfism and midgets. Then send this on to intelligence-challenged Chelley Martinka.

Has she ever seen The Wizard of Oz? Half the cast is simply credited as ´The Munchkins´. Lawsuits await.

Does this mean bars and pubs must cease the practice of dwarf-tossing already?

Favourite Tip O´Neill quote, from U.S. News nearly 30 years ago...
"There are fifty thousand dwarves in this nation, and the president has presented
no plans to help them!"

Now, most Irish are aware, these little fellows prefer their proper nomenclature...
Leprechauns...
Begosh and begorrah (spelling?)...
A premature Happy Saint Paddy´s Day to ya!

How about little, oh wait that will offend all Libs with "little brains".

Too bad Munchkins is probably copyrighted. It would be a great name for a pickle.

Make the little things count.
Teach a midget math!

Some people who are smaller than average chose their TV show to refer to them as Little People. Little People, Midgets, Dwarfs. This is now beyond ridiculous. It´s the same a n----- people calling them that name themselves but allowing no-one else to use the word. And black is now right or wrong? Colored, black, African-American. What about people from the Caribbean who are very black and know no relatives from Africa. Should we call them African-American. I am done with PC. I will call people whatever the hell I want to call them. If you don´t like it, sue me. For blacks, I will bring to court every song (really, song?) and foul-mouthed rant from black ´´celebrities´´ I can find. ENOUGH.

I get highly offended by twits that get offended

Dear Chelley Martinka: your life is a waste and you yourself have provided the definitive proof.

Don´t try to explain it to her, it will go right over her head.

Is "Gherkin" acceptable?

Can we still call liberals "mental midgets?" Hope so.

I can´t wait to get my hands on Gedney Foods latest culinary addition, the..."easily offended little dorks" line of gherkins. Now in a 1 oz. jar with child-protective cap.

Sometimes it is interesting to go and look these people up, see what they look like.

Here´s their wedding:

They seem to have sobered up since then and Chelley is now an activist for "little people". Getting the pickle company to surrender was probably her greatest coup since she snared Dave. And that wedding photographer.

And here´s grown-up Chelley with her sweet baby and a jar of those awful pickles:

Numbers 7 and 22 should write comedy. What brilliant minds. I almost spit on my monitor!

I guess you heard about the traffic accident wherein a normal sized guy ran into a "little person"´s car. The little guy looked at the damage and proclaimed "I am NOT happy!"
The normal sized guy asked "Well, which one are you then?"

#7 made my day.

Oh for Gawd´s sake. They used to call the handicapped limbless when we were growing up. No one noticed or suffered.

Stick around, the comedy team (all the above pundits who are enjoying the pc stupidity) will be here all week and it is more productive and a lot more fun than bashing stupid, ignorant, defenseless, politicians.

P.C. does away with the 1st amendment. Someone is always going to get " offended" by something.

OMG! I have a jar of Gedney Dill BABIES in my fridge!
Now I feel sick and disgusted......why are they promoting canibalism??? Oh the humanity!

And Sally Field needs to apologize to Chelley for staring in the insensitive 60´s show,"Gidget".
That was a contraction for "girl midget".

We could call them Didgets --- but that might offend the Lady Fingers.

Thankyou all !

I can get through all the voter fraud and the Zombie Apocalypse and the heartbreak of psoriasis with humor of this quality.

Again....thankyou.

How about "differently scalar enabled pickles"? Oops, can´t say pickle. That offends drunk Democrats of the Kennedy wing.

She must be some mother, feeding a 10 month old dill pickles, they could make her head explode!

Jeez, I never should have looked at the wedding pictures.....sneakers and that God awful red, spiked hair.....

From the article I thought they were both, er, urp, unh, ´vertically challenged´.....

Warning! ---If you value your sanity, DO NOT go to the website #26 posted!

Millions applaud the production of little bitty pickles, buy and eat them, and have no issue with the name.

One woman complains about a name that´s been around for a long time, and the name must be changed.

Since I´m from Mars - I left when the Mars Rover invaded my space - I need to have the logic of this explained to me, so I can more better understand humans, and live in peace with them.

Bunch of lunatics.

If that is the worse thing that ever happens to Chelley, G-d bless.

On my next trip to the supermarket, I shall look for Cains Kosher Dill Midgets, but if I do not see the word Midgets, forget it, no purchase.

Martinka is a styewwwwpedd twit. Political correctness runs amok, indeed.

Little Addie seems to be the most intelligent, normal one in the family.

PS. This is one of the funniest threads in a long, long time.... Thanks for the therapeutic laughter!

(Even the headline writer got in the act with that "agrees to drop ´midget´". Midget abuse?

We should not let little things bother us.

I´m waiting for the next headline: ´´Pickle company agrees to toss ´dwarf´.´´

Too many great comments!

Laughter is just what I needed this morning!

I love Ldotters!
