The Final Frontier in Affirmative Action
Posted by Bill One of the benefits of the MSN Messenger Welcome Page is access to gems like this article. Clocking in at a spritely 5'5", I didn't find this at all patronizing: And a few more plugs for shorter guys: They're easier to hug and you can look them in the eye. It gets worse: Besides, in this century, diversity is in. You have the opportunity to date people of different ethnic backgrounds, different religions and even different tastes in reality television. Why not break down the height barrier? What the fu ... In dating it's certainly smart to have standards. You don't want to date a mooch or an idiot or someone who doesn't agree with your choice for the American Idol. But when it comes to shapes and sizes, don't be a height snob. And don't exclude the shorties. Gone are the days of women needing big burly men to protect them. So forget how you two match up when you wear heels. It's time to set new rules when it comes to height. Hey, I say, as long as he can ride the big rollercoaster, he's all right by me. Dippy entertainment writers: spreading misogyny, one article at a time. UPDATE: And as if it couldn't get any worse, Captain Ed singles out Al Franken's shortness as a distinguishing characteristic. Heightist oppressor. Posted by Bill at April 29, 2004 12:01 AM | TrackBack (1) CommentsHave you considered Kim Jong Il style footwear? Posted by: Iraqi Intelligence at April 29, 2004 09:52 AM The Captain will immediately disembark and head to sensitivity training exercises, which he hopes will include plenty of alcohol ... Besides, I consider Franken's primary characteristic to be "nasty". You're far too nice a guy to have that apply.

Yeah, if you get down on one knee. ;) Posted by: Pat Curley at April 30, 2004 10:31 AM |
