Re: Hypocrites......

Yep. This one will piss off people (women and sjws) no doubt. As for the popular short guy meme you're talking about, they'll just tell short guys to suck it up and that it's just "humor".

Re: New DirecTV commercial makes fun of short men ("Petite Randy Moss")

Wake up everyone. This isn't a bunch of college kids playing pranks to impress their little sorority girlfriends, this is the American corporate engine at work. A bunch of adult men and women in their marketing came up with and actually greenlighted this campaign. This is a prime example of how heightism is a systemic prejudice rooted deep in society. The fact that adult professionals could come p with a such an ad is a disgrace.

The more disappointing part is that the vast majority of you reading this and watching this ad will do absolutely nothing about it and they know this. We're the easiest group to pick on because they know there will be little to no backlash.

What's even worse is the Garmin who elected to take on that role. The ultimate sell-out.

I can't speak for you but I am going to do something about it. I will contact my marketing friend in New York who has a lot of pull, write a letter and make a few phone calls to DirecTV and convince others to terminate their subscriptions. I encourage you all to take action and let DirecTV know that this is completely unacceptable.

You're going to get some guys on this forum from time to time who are depressed about their height, but not all short men are like this, me being one of them. I've always been proud of who I am short and all. That said, the first time I noticed I was short or going to be short was around ninth grade when I went from being average to one of the shortest guys in peer group. It was always cool though. I got teased here and there, but always had witty comebacks and have always been a ladies man so yeah.
