(With apologies to smaller people).

An IM with Czelticgirl about this yielded the following regrettable conversation:

SB: Seems like exploitation. “Look at the freaks! they have different genetic makeup!”
CG: Look at the freaks try to get a date!
SB: And midget porn sales WILL spike. I guarantee
CG: Just wait — if this show does well, its star’s gonna get a call from Playgirl.
SB: “I wish I had a girl like Missy on ‘Joe Dwarf'” Maybe a cameo from Gimli?
CG: Missy? Ooh — and we’ve found a new calling for hobbits!
SB: Missy is just a random woman’s name. Popular among the little people. (I’m lying; I know nothing about that section of our population.)
CG: Oh, sure. Right. Like you just guessed about the midget porn.
SB: Not at all. I can trace the thought train on how midget porn hits the mainstream due to this show with relative ease. I did note the spike when Total Recall was released.
CG: You’re a midget porn distributor in your spare time, ain’tcha? I can tell.
SB: I have a tracking collar on the midget porn industry.
CG: you scare me.
SB: I scare myself sometimes.
