The Little People of America have filed a complaint with the FCC in an attempt to get the word “midget” which people of exceptionally small stature see as demeaning banned from broadcast television, Newsday reports. The LPA was moved to action by a segment on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice in which contestants created a scheme for a detergent advertisement named “Jesse James and the Midgets” featuring little people who were bathed in the soap and hung to dry like laundry on a clothesline.

“The word ‘midget’ objectifies you,” Clinton Brown, 27, told the LPA conference in Brooklyn. “Growing up as a little person, because you’re different, you experience the ups and downs of some cruelties and prejudices. How many times have people I don’t know come up to me and wanted to pick me up?”

How is this stock only .14 cents? The stock is only .14 cents because the government would not allow these company’s to merge on a proper schedule. This merger was delayed so long it became the longest merger in the history of our country. We are talking about satellite radio. This is not necessity and there is plenty of competition with Ipods, terrestrial radio, CD’s, MP3’s, internet, cell phones and other ways to receive music.

It’s not like letting Exxon Mobil the largest oil companies merge with no problem. Then I have to pay over $4.00 for a gallon of gas. Great job government. You never seem to surprise me. Is there anything in this country that is not corrupt? Seems like corruption has reached everything. I bet our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves as this country spins out of control.
