    I might be missing something but doesn't midget mean something that is small? Just because it ALSO is a word that refers to short people doesn't change the fact that it actually means something small.

    Also I wonder why the name midget gems isn't trademarked anyway

    Reports tonight that a group of disheveled wasters have marched on Crumlin, South Wales demanding a name change to the nation's favourite steam-on-snack: Pot Noodles. The use of the word 'pot', and a general belief that the 'meal' is linked to laziness has been deemed both condescending and immoral by protestors. It infringes on their basic human rights, to live a life free of discrimination as pot smokers.

    Who cares. Non story. Same as the ‘Chinese taking over Parliament’ non story. The attention span of the English electorate is 3 mins……tops.

    It's amazing how times change. I don't feel they're changing for the better. Tut.

    She can change name of the sweet but at the end of the day she's still a dwarf that feels oppressed enough to campaign over f cuk all. So what goods it done?

    Maybe, she can put a newspaper cutting on fridge door celebrating her moral crusade victory and smile. People will still ask the floor staff " can you tell me where the midget gems are please?"

    Let January 14th be remembered forever as victory in the confectionary eisle.

    Who can say?

    In my youth, I ran a few half marathons, of course nowadays one would be called a snick.

    Now that snickers have gotten smaller does anyone else just buy two to compensate?

    Offensivey named confection has name changed so as not to insult an already disparaged group of our fellow humans. Angry teeth grinding follows. I wonder who the actual snow flakes are in this world, I really do.

    I'm going to become a campaigner it seems like a reyt laugh. I'm currently looking for suitable targets.

    Shortbread (looking after the vertically challenged)

    Nice biscuits (everyone who's a first class kant are upset all the time without getting their noses rubbed in them)

    Black Jacks (I'll leave that one alone too risky for a new starter)

    Jam Tarts (for the interests of the 'looser' woman)

    I'll get mi bed sheet and spray paint out. I'm on a mission. Up the revolution.

    It's not the size, it's what you do with it that counts :)
