Dwarf sues for reversal of Anti-Dwarf-Tossing bill calling it *unconstitutional*

[b0mbrman]

TAMPA, Fla. (Reuters) - A radio broadcaster known as ``Dave the Dwarf'' has sued to overturn Florida's ban on ``dwarf tossing,'' saying he should be allowed to decide for himself whether to participate in the barroom contests.

``Dwarf tossing'' is a contest in which dwarfs don harnesses and allow bar patrons to hurl them through the air onto mattresses.

David Flood, a dwarf who is 38 inches (96.5 cm) tall, filed suit on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Tampa, challenging the ban as unconstitutional. He said it illegally singles out people with dwarfism.

``As soon as you have a physical handicap ... all of the sudden they treat you like you don't have a mind of your own,'' Flood told the Tampa Tribune. ``Just because I'm 3-foot-2 doesn't mean I can't make decisions.''

It should be legal for him to do.

How much do you think these dwarves get paid to be tossed?

What difference does it make?

None...just curious

I think they should put a harness on a goat have a goat toss. That would pretty damn funny. Baaaaaaaa

 

[aphex]

Weve got a dwarf tossing ordinance here in Gainesville, FL also

I don't know if I'm just a prude or anything...but the whole image of tossing a Dwarf just seems odd to me

 

[TallBill]

doh... they need to legalize it...

 

[LethalWolfe]

Do you think you can rent them out for parties/weddings?

how the fvck can that be declared illegal??! Especially if some dwarf wants to be tossed? I won't disagree that people shouldn't randomly pick up dwarves and toss them, though.

That's complete horsesh1t, that DWARF is out of his mind!! Hell, if they had 5'8"-150lb man tossing for $5000 a throw, I'd be first in line!

PETA would kill someone if that happened.

I agree in this case but watch out for that "especially"...what would you say to a prostitute who offered the same argument?

rotfl the idea of dwarf tossing is hilarious...but I don't know, maybe it's not very safe. A dwarf flying through the air is funny...a dwarf with a broken neck is unfunny.

believe it or not, this is a repost.

well i think prostitution should be legalized. prostitution is more or less illegal for morality issues, imho.

legalize it,
regulate it,
tax it!
