nothing wrong with exploiting physical charateristics, if this rondo hatton guy said "im happy with how i am as a person, i got something people find weird so let me make some money out of it", and proceeded to do just that, thats a good thing, hes the one exploiting it and its his right to do so, and hes probably a stronger person for it, learning to laugh at yourself is an important skill, i was constantly bullied for being short at school for over 10 years solid, is that wrong? yes course it is, i cant help my height, but in some pubs i go in my nickname now is shortarse, and im happy with that because its used by friends and in an endearing way rather than abusive, doesnt bother me now and im quite happy to indulge in self-deprecating humour about my height continually if people want to, the problem that it always comes down to is people being NASTY about someone elses physicalities, if people werent nasty then i think noone would mind a few casual ribbings (ribbing someone means teasing sort of, ie between friends for fun)
