Petition to take down DirecTV's body shaming commercial

You all read my thread on the DirecTV petite randy moss and thankfully sgc did an article on it. Our fellow short men on r/short created a petition on Change.org and we need you all to sign it! This is a pivotal moment to let advertisers know that height shaming is no different than the fat shaming that they stay away from in advertising in the modern era. We need 100 signatures. At this point, there are only 24. 

Here is the link:

Stop DirecTV's Offensive "Petite Randy Moss" ad.

I am seeing this pop up all over. I am black. I find most of their commercials offensive anymore. I would have dropped them if I had them over this. Glad I don't.

Philosopher claims the plight of short men isn't taken seriously for this reason.

Philosopher asserts that short men do not claim a collective identity in the same way racial, ethnic and gender-based groups do.

Why any short dude would even bother to go on this show in the first place is beyond me.

Short Accountant Mocked For His Height In New York Post Comments

Are any of you surprised by the comments? 

We had a whole 6ft3 guy recently threaten an airport with firearms and no one accused him of having a "syndrome"

I don't condone what the short guy did here, but you knew they were going to come after his height.

You can find the NY Post article here.
