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.

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.

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'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.

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!

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?''
