Saints set dwarf alight on Mad Monday

When I first saw this piece of shit-news, I thought, 1) yep, st vomit SOP and then 2) this little fella is in the entertainment game, you know, being thrown against walls in bogan suburbia and whatever, and this may just possibly be a little bit of a beat-up to improve tiny's CV in the height-challenged stakes.

Then of course, we were all aware no doubt that the hobbits of this planet had just completed their four yearly World Dwarf Games (3-10 August, 2013) and perhaps this little story was by way of a local pressie in support that just ran to press too late. Shit happens.

Australia's academy of littlies is self-styled - Short Statured People of Australia (and no, I've looked, Blairie is not their Honorary President) and I don't think they would be too rapt in St Vomit's alleged misbehaviour toward one of their family.

Perhaps St Blunda might assuage their rightful rage by aiding their establishment of a curtailed version of the game we know and love that might suit the abbreviated nature of the SSPA members. If they can play soccer at their World Games, they can bloody well learn to tackle a real game!

Just imagine arenas world wide rising to the clarion shout of "A Little Way Up There Dopey!!'.

When Darcy Duck and Bruce were telling Demetriou the burnt dwarf story on Talking Footy , he was trying hard to stop pissing himself laughing.

Seriously, this is not a big story.

It's only funny because he's little.

I don't see how setting fire to anyone's clothes is funny? Would you guys still think it was funny if someone set fire to your clothes or one of your loved one's? could have gone very wrong. Incredibly stupid thing to do.

Pretty tame Mad Monday.

6 out of 7 dwarves are not happy.

Clearly the dwarf is OK with people laughing at his stature etc - that's how he makes a living ... but setting him alight or anyone for a laugh is pathetic!

Imagine if it was a stripper or a hairy greek guy or a member of the public who was caught up in the over-the top mad monday celebrations and set on fire... I don't think people would think it is that funny including Dimi!

I just don't find short people funny based in their lack of height - I get a laugh from what people say or do rather - Some of the pollies over the years are good for a laugh - Clive Palmer a natural comic - Christopher Pyne from the Downer school of strangely suss - he is funny! Little Johnny Howard - he was funny... in a sad way!!

This incident is bad for footy - it is the kind of thing I would expect from the Thugby losers not AFL - Mad Monday should not become a danger to society and bring the game into disrepute - have fun... but please you Saints are clearly the 'small' men of AFL so just GROW UP!

I just find dwarfs naturally funny, the dwarf himself must have a good sense of humor about it because he earns a living from sending himself up which he has a right to do and the fact that St.Kilda stuffed this one up is also funny.

However having said all of that, setting anyone on fire is not funny.

Once I heard this story, I just imagined the next part of the prank being Milney and Kosi bundling this little guy, whilst still on fire, into a circus canon and firing it sending the little guy into Albert Park Lake like a flaming cannon ball. Then when Milney and Kosi turn around and see a TV camera there they look down the lense and say "WHAT?!?!?"

That made me laugh, more about the expected stupidity of the saints than the flaming dwarf.

Not that I endorse firing flaming dwarfs out of cannons, its just what went through my mind.
