    Make jokes at the expense of the disabled, races, transgenders, gays or religious people, and you will be rightly criticized and shamed for it.

    Make jokes at the expense of people who are ugly, fat or short in stature, somehow that’s still okay with way too many people…

        Pretty sure he’d be much more offended if you called him disabled than about this joke.

        You can make jokes about absolutely everything. But if you do it at the expense of others, and the touchier and more sensitive the subject, the funnier the joke has to be - so you better make sure it’s fucking hilarious and original.

        People tend to miss that part. Especially the one about short people is always the same old punch line - the one along the lines of this post.

        I’m not offended that OP made a joke about Peter Dinklage. I’m offended that it was a lame joke that I’ve seen a thousand times before.
