Just As I Thought

Fox is getting lower

You know, every time Fox debuts a new reality program, I insist that it’s a new low in the genre and that they couldn’t possibly go any lower.
Surprise!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Critics may roll their eyes at Fox television’s upcoming dwarf-dating contest “The Littlest Groom,” but the head of the advocacy group Little People of America says the show could end up giving his members a boost.

While some audiences may snicker at the spectacle of a dozen dwarf women competing with average-sized females for the affections of a 4-foot-5-inch bachelor, LPA president Matt Roloff said the Fox show may benefit people of short stature by depicting them as regular folks “just being themselves.”

Does the LPA really think that the “Littlest Groom” will be treated with anything even remotely recognized as respect? His height is part of the title of the show. He won’t be treated like “regular folks.”
