Chinese Dwarfs Start Their Own Village

Rented Mule · 30-09-2009 7:04pm #1

A community of dwarfs in China is tired of being discriminated against and is doing something about it.

The Telegraph reports that the people of Kunming, a mountain community in southern China, have set up their own village to escape discrimination from normal sized people.

All of the 120 residents are under 4-feet, 3-inches tall, and they run their own police force and fire department. The group also has turned itself into a tourist attraction by building mushroom houses and living and dressing like fairy tale characters

Wait until the Oompa Loompas get wind of this......

Ruu_Old · 30-09-2009 7:14pm

This is nothing short of madness!

Sharpshooter · 30-09-2009 7:15pm

It was a bad move, who will they look up to now?

VinnyTGM · 30-09-2009 7:19pm

That's pretty mad all right.
Would be very strange going there.

I'm 4'11 and a half so I'm too small to join in

brummytom · 30-09-2009 7:28pm

Aww, look at them!

Because, because because because becauuuuuusee.. because of the wonderful things he does

Being 6'6" I doubt I'd notice the difference between this and any other Chinese village.

Well, maybe a small difference.

If we keep them secluded for 8 generations and use selective breathing on them we'll be able to make the hobbits outta lord of the rings.

They'll just end up opening Chinese takeaways and dry cleaners in the Shire.

6'6" eh? what's it like for you when you sit in a car.

Anyway I'm happy for the little fellas. Unfortunately they're going to find out real soon how hard it is to maintain a village when most of the population is proberly 2ft tall.

walshb · 30-09-2009 8:23pm

Just like the Taiwanese, this won't work fellas!
Another small part of China

Rented Mule · 30-09-2009 8:35pm

Anybody have a Godzilla costume they aren't using ?

Sofiztikated · 30-09-2009 8:38pm

Don't make short of what they are doing.

Since they started building this village, shares in Lego have shot up!

TheIrishGrover · 30-09-2009 9:50pm

Their great wall is a picket fence

We dont wanted to be discriminated agains but lets live in mushroom houses and live like circus freaks.

ScumLord · 30-09-2009 10:02pm

Boards beer in China, fancy dress, theme, Godzilla! Who's in?

Dartz · 30-09-2009 11:52pm

Hi-ho, Hi-ho, it's home from work they go!

AnonoBoy · 01-10-2009 12:00am

Don't make light of what they're doing. After all even the Chinese love that classic song he ain't heavy he's my brother.

And if you all weren't so quick to weigh in with your snide remarks then maybe we could have a fair and balanced discussion on this issue.

......wait, what are we making puns on again? I wasn't paying attention at the start there.

spadder · 01-10-2009 12:00am

Their not small, just far away.

seanybiker · 01-10-2009 12:02am

Cant believe ye are taking the piss out of them.
How could ye stoop so low

starbelgrade · 01-10-2009 12:04am

Can we laugh at people in wheelchairs now?

GLaDOS · 01-10-2009 12:06am

Apparently 6 out of 7 dwarfs weren't happy about the abuse beforehand

Joke shamelessly stolen from somebodies sig

starbelgrade · 01-10-2009 12:09am

What next - taking the p*ss out of cripples?

Seriously.

This is playground mentality taken to a new level.

I was in a wheelchair for a couple of years due to a serious leg injury, and to be perfectly honest I find the use of the term "cripple" more offensive than anything else I have seen on this thread.

Kalashnikov_Kid · 01-10-2009 12:30am

I think they may find themselves pretty short-changed soon enough.

javaboy · 01-10-2009 12:39am

If anyone wants to discuss the pros/cons/irony of setting up a village specifically for dwarfs to escape discrimination where they live in mushroom houses and dress as fairy tale characters, fire away.

I think we've had enough of the piss taking and puns though.

Irony being the operative word imo

As far as I know, "cripple" has never been used as a derisory term, though I stand to be corrected & am very sorry if I offended you in any way - that was not my intention.

I intended to point out that taking the p*ss out of dwarfs - who through no fault of their own - are small, due to a medical condition, is pathetic, childish & pointless, and only serves the self gratification of the slagger.

For me, there is humour to be found in everything, whether it be from the depths of despair to the heights of ecstacy, but poking fun without any sense of empathy is just too easy... again, schoolground mentality.
