TLC and it's dwarf fetish



I guess there aren't enough dwarfs in the world for The Lame Channel anymore. We already learned everything the casual observer needs to know about dwarfism from Amy and Matt Roloff, but, now TLC offers us more dwarfs! Yay! There's the Little Couple, a boring middle class look at dwarf life with strange sexual innuendos and wide load butt patting. Lots of raised eyebrows, Mark's brother's style..inducing dry heaves amongst viewers, both big and small. And now the dwarfs who make chocolate! As they weave crazily back and forth on their deformed legs, dipping their fat misshapen fingers endlessly into the chocolate with no gloves, I wrinkle my nose and start thinking the Bravo channel is not that bad. At least the iron chefs don't have to stand on a chair to reach a sink and insult each other. "Look at me, I'm on a chair!" "Look! I'm on a step stool!" "I have super human upper body strength!" Yeah, that's amazing. Cough. I think when TLC can find a dwarf who can give birth to a litter, I might watch. But, only if the wife is a bitchy control freak who's greed far exceeds her IQ. Can someone please explain why all the dwarfs drive an SUV? Ever heard of a Volkswagen bug? Seriously...buy a ladder.

Hearing these two words makes me vomit..Little Chocolatiers. Why? In the name of all that is unholy reality, WHY?????

Lauren said...

Don't these people see they are being exploited.

Okay I can understand having 1 dwarf show, like the Roloffs, but doesn't TLC have 3 or 4 dwarf shows now? The Little Chocolatiers, okay, that is circus freak territory. Maybe some of these people need to put their personal dignity above the dollar. TLC is predatory.

Lauren said...

DD - I see you are moderating. Did you have a troll attack?

Maureen said...

I haven't seen the Little Chocolate People show, yet, but I can't even watch The Little Couple. The husband is nothing but a little jerk, he is so condenscending towards her and he has no right to be like that because she is the smart one. She is always embarassed by his comments.
These people on these shows have no dignity is so true!

Dirty Disher said...

Lauren, the troll is still trying to talk here. It's not allowed to be with humans and we will remain on moderation until it goes back to it's shit filled cave.

Dirty Disher said...

Maureen, I think that too. He IS embarassing, he's a teeny weeny redneck.

Tlc reminds me of a sideshow. Even though I love reading and going to carnivals and have a somewhat odd intrested in werid things.

But tlc just putting this show and that show plus the rolofs. What is the point they are just like everyone else. So they are small. Big freakin do..

I guess instead of paying 10 cents. You can flip a switch and tlc will have some kind of sideshow on for ya.

They have the little couple who has the little normal baby now too. The little woman in that show makes me sick!!! She is always riding the little man's ass about something..a little Kate G she is. I don't like any of them anymore. TLC is obsessed with everything little it seems to me. I think one of the executives there has a little person fetish, shit fetish, etc.....

Sydney marvels in disgust over Matt Rolloff's crooked little fingers. We wait with batted breath for the episode coming next. The mouthbreathing- step sitter is having an operation, and if the previews are any indication, we shall enjoy him laying in a hospital bed with a bandage on his head, yelling "OWWE".
TLC is tuning me into a passive-aggressive mess. Example: Mermaid girl. One the one hand you feel horrible for her and her parents circumstances, and then she opens her asshole mouth and some stupid shit falls out. TLC is getting famous for this type of junk.
(and I can't get enough!)

Dirty Disher said...

Mermaid girl is dead, she died at age 10.

Oh, I totally forgot about dwarfs with baby. Eww. That one's bad too.

There was another dwarf couple who had some shows on TLC called “Dwarf Family: Meet the Fooses.” I guess they weren't odd enough or they didn't need the pittance of money TLC was offering since they seemed pretty well off.

I don't understand why, with all the problems medically and socially these little people have experienced all their lives, they choose to have children who will experience the same difficulties.

The Fooses have 2 dwarf boys though they adopted a dwarf girl because they wanted a daughter and they wanted her to be a dwarf. WTF??? She is also autistic.

I think we've learned all we need to know about dwarfs.

I'm waiting for a family of downs syndrome afflicted parents and children to pop up on TLC shortly. If they're out there, TLC is sure to find them.

I agree with Lauren that these people need to realize they are being exploited. Or maybe they do realize it, but they don't care.

I think some of these little people feel like, "Oh, an opportunity to show average-sized people we are just like them! That's great!" while the disgusting greedy TLC people are just thinking, "More freaks to put on TV! Ooh, that'll get ratings. Normal people like freaks. Awesome!"

valle said...

i seriously want some good chocolate now. Like a good godiva chocolate covered strawberry.yummmmmmmm

Dan Zinski said...

Dwarfs are people too. Sort of.

I noticed the little chocolatiers didn't use gloves too. Also not one of those people in the kitchen were wearing hair nets. Then when they were interviewing prospective employees they asked an interviewee if he would wear a "mustache net"...

shmedelle said...

So what. They're short and they have a hard time dealing with light switches. Lots of people have a hard time just functioning in everyday life.

I saw the Little Dr. when I was at Texas Children's. She maneuvers in a thing that she stands in. She zips around the hospital and it has her at the same height as an average person. Who cares.

When I was in college there was a student that was blind and she managed to get to her classes with just a cane and a dog, and no one to help. IDK how she did it.

I think TLC now stands for "The Little Channel"

There was a band marching in the rose parade yesterday, All were blind, they practiced for a year & a half, they have more to offer than little chocolate making dwarfs.
Otherwise, I'm a menopausal 50 yr old woman who made cupcakes yesterday, I'm up for a gig-TLC are you listening?

Peg said...

Dianew A show about 50+ year old menopausal women would finally be a show I could relate to.

TLC is probably reading here. We'll probably see this show pop up in the near future.
