Surreal Caption?

[miserableoldgit]

Have I slipped into some parallel Universe without knowing?? I think that I have just seen a photo of England Rugby player Steve Thompson with the caption "Steve Thompson parties with two dwarves".

Nope just the good old Brit Press trying to justify their expenses paid trip to New Zealand for 6 weeks.

 

They were allowed out for some beers, went to a well known club which was having a "Dwarf Night" and joined in the fun by posing for photos. Some of the international press bothered to actually quote people in full, and it was more along the lines of entering into the spirit of the occassion. One comment I recall was that the night was aimed at taking the p1ss out of the old Aussies PC fubu of Dwarf Tossing nights.

 

The players helped the club out in terms of marketing as a thanks for hospitality, the press took it a different way. Think the torygraph article had about 300+ comments from Outraged of Osterley. MUCH funnier than the original story!

 

(This post does not reflect any support implied or otherwise of sizeism, or exploitation btw) Just think it was funneh in the same way that the "UPROAR" about bungee jumping England Players was met with "they do far more dangerous things in training" from MJ.

It's the same as hiring a lanky to stack shelves.
