New York City – It apparently takes a visit by the world’s shortest man to bring New York City to a halt. Cab drivers, police officers and other busy New Yorkers paused in their hurried lives to look at tiny He Pingping as he walked along 42nd Street in Manhattan on Thursday.

The 20-year-old Chinese man is 2 feet 5.37 inches tall. He was in the city to launch the 2009 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records. He is listed as the shortest man on the planet.
His brother-in-law told the Daily News in Friday editions that coming to New York is “like a dream” for Pingping, who lives in Mongolia and was born with primordial dwarfism.
Crowds in Manhattan stopped to gawk wherever he went. His brother-in-law said Pingping likes the attention.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!
FUNNY
Try looking him straight in the eye…
what brocho does one say if you see him “M’Shane Habriyos”???
Very Political bringing him out now. I heard that the Obama campaign was going after the midget vote. Hey, who can blame them, its a very tight vote. Midgets might determine the outcome.
Boruch Hashem!
yes
Baruch Ata Hashem Meshane Habriyos!

including you.
to midget inc.
why are you cursing esther malka?
Their treating him as if he were some sort of, well, godol…
On cross-country trips, he sleeps in the
glove compartment.
I hope he steers clear of street-cleaning
crews.
He should run for Mayor!
he could ride free on the MTA!!!
For all those people with the joking comments, just grow up,,,Uh,,,bad choice of words
I think he ought to seek a profession as a ‘Shoe Shiner”! No need to bend down!
He Pingping? That name takes up more spach than him.
His jewish name is Mr.’Klein’
The MTA probably made made a special turnstyle for him lest he ride for free.
He broke up with a recent date because
they couldn’t see eye to eye
He got hurt once while jumping off a rug, lol

===========================================
would you like people making fun of you when u contract a terrible desease?
You can blindfold him using dental floss.
Can I bring him home so my kids can play with him??
A Live Puppet….
Did you see him standing next to the Tallest Woman?
What a Sight…..
LOCK & LOAD
No one is “making fun of him”, that is very “small” thinking on your part. He has my vote, simply because he is for smaller government.
It aint funny, pick your own size.
It’s a rachmoness on such a person, but fortunately he has something going for him. He has a good humor and likes the attention. Hashem gives everyone what they need. Please stop poking fun. it’s not nice.
What does he use for a bed? Venetian blinds. I would like to wish him…ze hakatan gadol yeeheh
Please stop with the jokes, it’s cruel.
Stop with the Jokes?? Is the little guy reading these posts and getting offended? Whats your problem, its not doing any harm-lighten up.
He recently lost a lot of money on the
stock market selling short
maybe mrs gross should marry him !
The jokes are tasteless. Would you do the same if it were a fat person or a deformed person? I’d expect better from Yiddin.
i asked him for change and he said he was a little short.
he can play handball on a curb
i heard he is the guy who poses for trophies
He says he likes the attention…
And all you people are so called frum!!!!!!
HaShem knows what is for every human on this planet. Goy or Jew. Have pity, you only see the outside of him not the inside and his feelings.
Please be nice. He, too, was created in tzelem elokim.
People, please be kind. Life is too short.
Mr. Ping Ping is not the only one who is affected by dwarfism who may be reading these posts. Some commenters are very insensitive. Would have expected more from heimishe.
And even if Mr. PingPing is not reading this, does that make it okay for you to carry on? How about the anti-semite who makes his comments behind closed doors or in his private country-club and says “hey, no jew around here to be offended, so what’s the harm?”
Esther Malka’s got a problem too — and when idiots like that are given a public voice, it reflects poorly on the entire community.
Midget Inc should have just let it go so that her commented would indeed have been edited out.
it seems to me that chinese people in general are very small is that true?althouh i think this person should make a rally and scream change like obama, he will earn lots of money.
yankel, you make no sense. why should he scream change, and why should he make $ from it?> i think he should be a public attraction, pple. should pay $ to see him and speak to him. then he’ll make $. by the way, where does he buy his clothes and shoes? is he planning to get married?
Actually when people feel uncomfortable with a situation and they are misinformed they say the “wrong” things and have the wrong reactions. Well what do we say when we meet someone who is so short he comes up to our knees? Should they cry? Or should they pity? Or should they make light of the situation? Or just ignore the entire person? Ofcourse he is used to this attention! And again he is used to it and actually “Likes it” …So no harm in these harmless jokes!
wow.but nebech ver iz am mkana
I have difficulty understanding why he should be a target, as evident in the above comments. Anyone here thought about the possibility of ”live and let live?”
This is very iteresting.
some of the remarks are cruel, insensetive and being such yiras shomayim downright stupid since he is briye from hashem, stupid idiots
