Attempt to Ban "Midget" May Fall Short

The Little People of America recently contacted the Federal Communications Commission to establish a ban on the word “midget” on television.

Being an esteemed contributor to the Gonzo Guide allowed me the opportunity to sit down with the CEO of the LPA during their national conference.

Dewey Danny Traweek has been with the LPA a mere 19 months but has already done a lot of heavy lifting in drawing attention to the non-profit organization. “People don’t look down on us like they used to,” said Traweek. “We’ve grown a lot over the past year and a half.”

Traweek, obviously modest, has worked tirelessly to build a strong relationship with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. “It is important we have someone that we can see eye to eye with on key initiatives.” Together, the groups have collected donations in the millions to help promote their agendas.

When asked about the complaint filed with the FCC, Traweek was only willing to take partial credit. “The effort has been undeniable from the ground up within the organization.”

The FCC was unable to comment on the topic since it is still an open complaint. One official, who agreed to speak anonymously, said there is a very very small chance anything of this sort will be implemented.

The official went on to say that the LPA is being “short sighted” on the topic and “should really dig down deep to find if this is a change that would benefit them in the long run.”

As an impartial member of society I wish LPA the best and hope they keep making long strides in accomplishing their goals. And with Traweek running the show, they can only go up from here. Reach for the stars my friends, no matter how far they may seem.
