Short Slighted
Little people are calling on the Federal Communications Commission to ban the use of the word "midget" on broadcast TV.The group Little People of America said Sunday the word is just as offensive as racial slurs.
The request was prompted by an April episode of NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" that the group said was demeaning.
In the episode, contestants created a detergent ad called "Jesse James and the Midgets." The contestants, including Joan Rivers, suggested bathing little people in the detergent and hanging them to dry.

Joan on George


"When George did the seven words you can't say on television, I told him he really only had six - tits wasn't in the same league as the rest.
But he needed a seventh. Seven was funnier.
I like to think George left the seven words to me. In fact I just used two of them in Britain and got thrown off of television. I think of it as my homage to him, and I'm so glad he was still alive to see it. I still have five left."

Joan & Babs
The year was 1959, and Joan Sandra Molinsky (AKA Joan Rivers), then a struggling actress, was cast in the off-off Broadway play "Driftwood." The director couldn't find a leading man, so Joan suggested they make the characters lesbians. Even back then she got her way; another unknown, high-school student Barbara Joan Streisand -- it would become Barbra later -- was cast opposite Rivers.
"We played lesbian lovers," Rivers recalls. "That was the first thing Barbra did; soon after that she really got going. Let me tell you, Barbra is a great kisser, but no tongue."
