Is there anything lower than a fake Oompa Loompa

A 4-foot tall Reno man who claimed he was in the 1971 movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" has been exposed as a fraud. Click here for story. Ezzy Dame, who now works as a hairdresser, admitted that he lied when he wrote a review of the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory from an Oompa Loompa's prospective.

I only have to questions. First, how does a 4 foot hair dresser cut hair? How many other midgets have put such a lie on their resumes? How many hobbits, Oompa Loompas, and munchkins are just figments of the imagination.

Now, I have seen the new movie. And I believe that as someone who has worked in a chocolate factory, I have a better perspective on the movie than a fake Oompa Loompa. While, I enjoyed the characters and their portrayals by the actors, I found the movie to be wanting. The movie got off track going from one kid's torture to the next. The songs from the Oompa Loompas were difficult to understand and thus enjoy. And the damn boat got old real fast.

As for the chocolate making, totally true. Except that the real Oompa loompas swear like sailors.
