I think this is more about the M&S marketing department than anything else. Did anyone know M&S had an own brand Midget Gem type product before yesterday? Now everyone does.
Do you remember last year when they kicked up a fuss over Colin The Caterpilar and how Aldi were copying them? They issued some preliminary legal procedings, which again oroginated in the marketing department I suspect.
If you want a bunch of free publicity, trigger 'the world has gone mad' nrigade or start a fight with a competitor.
So how about The Millers sectioning off a row of seats where trans supporters can watch without risking abuse? Or accuse Wednesday of spying on our training from the top of Keppels column?
Midgets have never been offended by the word midget a midget is a person who has what we all have but on a smaller scale Dwarfs are entirely different neithet have took offence in the past .Im sure they are all treat as normal as the rest of us. My mate is a dwarf and he said the people that printed this is small minded he he.
