Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs are younger than John McCain.
In 1937, a time when it was apparently OK to refer to little people as “dwarves” (when we all know they much prefer to called… oh, never mind!), this classic film became the first full length animated feature produced by Walt Disney.
Here, thanks to Wikipedia, are some dwarf names that didn’t make the cut:
Awful, Bald, Biggo-Ego, Biggy-Wiggy, Burpy, Busy, Chesty, Cranky, Daffy, Dippy, Dirty, Dizzy, Doleful, Flabby, Gloomy, Graceful, Helpful, Hoppy, Hotsy, Hungrey, Jaunty, Lazy, Neurtsy, Nifty, Puffy, Sappy, Sneezy-Wheezy, Sniffy, Scrappy, Silly, Soulful, Strutty, Stuffy, Sleazy, Tearful, Thrifty, Tipsy, Titsy, Tubby, Weepy, Wistful, and Woeful.
Too bad McCain hasn’t picked a running mate yet - otherwise, we could start banging out the “Sleepy/Sleazy in ‘08″ bumper stickers right away!
(Thanks to Robin, florida, Christina, Mark, Samuel, Claudia, Jane, and Reverend F. for the tip!)

Just to be accurate. The story of Snow White was already well known in the 19th century in Europe. The Grimm brothers wrote the most popular version in 1812.
Disney didn’t create the character but used an old story !
Funny blog though !! Go on !!!

Did you know that by the time they were down to eight dwarves, the other seven began to suspect Hungry?
