If there's one thing in this world we can't stomach, it's discrimination against those who wish only to bare their breasts in peace. So when we heard that a Canton, Ill. bar had its liquor license suspended just because two women were moved to take their tops off and wrestle in oil at a recent "midget wrestling event," we felt positively sick.

Kim Scott, the owner of Outskirts Bar and Grill, said she had booked male wrestlers from the Micro Wrestling Federation, which bills itself as the home of the world's "most professional" midget and dwarf wrestling athletes. Scott alleged that the two women began wrestling topless while she was outside smoking, and that as soon as the breach against city ordinances prohibiting nudity came to her attention, she stopped the match.

"The match didn't last very long ... maybe four or five minutes," said Scott. "It was not intentional. Would I let it happen? No."

According to Mayor Kevin Meade, the punishment is "meant to send a message to other businesses in town that this won't be tolerated."

To us, Mayor Meade's close-mindedness in the face of the awesomeness that is nudity, wrestling, oil and "midgets," just shows that perhaps it is he who is the true little person.
