Someone in the U.K. decided something big was needed to raise awareness of dwarfism. Fearing the little people among us would be overshadowed, they gave the green light to bathe Wales' Cardiff Castle in an emerald glow for Dwarfism Awareness Day. The Cardiff Council posted a pic of the event on social media.
The quips followed in short order. (READ)
Tonight, Cardiff Castle will light up green to mark Dwarfism Awareness Day. 💚 The illumination celebrates diversity and helps raise awareness and understanding of dwarfism. https://t.co/26uce2dzLv https://t.co/mqMgP3ZXK6

Nothing brings awareness to Dwarfism like shining lights on really tall things.

Great idea… but I feel this will go right over the top of some peoples’ heads.

🤷🏻♀️
It certainly didn’t 'measure up' to people’s expectations.
The first thing posters noted was that green is the color of mythical imps and sprites, not real-world dwarfs.
You chose the colour associated with leprechauns.. for dwarves. Well done 👏

It's magically suspicious.
Commenters say you can’t bring awareness to dwarfism without mentioning a famous septet of ‘dwarfs.’
A survey conducted about this concluded only 1 in 7 were Happy

They're short one.

He was bashful.
Who knew it was such a tall order to come up with so many short jokes? Posters accepted the challenge.
Look at people making fun of Dwarfism...

How could they stoop so low? 🥁
From now on every time the traffic light turns green I will think of a dwarf

Fair play Cardiff, making a big deal out of something so small.

Cardiff: Standing tall alongside dwarfism.

The lights will stay on until somebody can reach the switch.

Surely 21 December better - the shortest day of the year?

Dont you think this is a little condescending? People will not see eye to eye on this... BTW I'm 6ft 3.

That reminds us, when is Gigantism Awareness Day? We bet that’ll be a goliath undertaking.
