DWARFS SEE RED OVER MUNCHKIN ORGIES

DWARFS SEE RED OVER MUNCHKIN ORGIES

Welsh play 'ridicules' little people
By Robert Mcaulay

ANGRY dwarfs have blasted Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh for writing a play about Munchkins from The Wizard Of Oz in sex orgies.

The producers of the show, Babylon Heights, are promising "wild Munchkin orgies, drunken behaviour and general dwarf debauchery".

But members of the Restricted Growth Association, who represent UK dwarfs, plan to demonstrate outside theatres in protest.

A spokesman branded the play "disrespectful and irresponsible" and added: "This is just another example of the media ridiculing the lives of people of restricted growth." The dwarfs are also angry that the play uses full-sized actors, with big furniture to make them look small.

Welsh's co-author, Dean Kavanagh, has defended the play, saying: "To be honest, I don't give a f*** what the PC brigade will say."

2. so I guess they never saw
Itty Bitty Bang Bang? I think many of those who make movies/plays of this nature often twist famous movies and artists to fit their x rated ideas.
