Verne Troyer isn't a sellout -- but he should be. 
Despite the fact that Mini-Me zips around in a mini-scooter that is a rolling billboard, he's not banking a dime from the companies. The only thing he gets -- one of the clothing companies gives him free threads ... a very small gesture indeed.

1. Yeah the scooter company should flip him some cash for sure. I like the idea. He'd be a good celebrity to endorse products. Everybody loves this guy!

3. One time, he drove all the way from Los Angeles all the way to Fresno on that scooter. Talk about determination.

4. WHY ARE WE SUBJECTED TO INFORMATION AND PHOTOS OF THIS PATHETIC TROLL? LET HIM STAY UNDER HIS BRIDGE PLEASE!

7. That fat guy from across the street must be from Fresno, because he can't stop talking about it. I live on the California coast, and the worst tourists in the world are Fresnoids - they litter, cut you off in traffic, block driveways with their gigantic RVs, and are generally obnoxious (most of them - I apologize to any decent Fresnoids out there who vacation here in paradise). So THERE!
And BTW, Vern Troyer would be every bit as creepy if he were full sized. Talk about obnoxious! Hey, maybe Vern is from Fresno too!

10. Well EVERYONE who rides in a scooter should get paid - if that is the case. And people talk about bogus law suits. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

12. why the hell should he get money for putting stickers on his scooter?! just about every kid plasters stickers all over their stuff, without financial incentive.
in his defense, I don't get the impression that he/Verne is making the comment -- TMZ is!
and *Ed is sleeping in the guest house?*: too right! a hairless rat or Mr. Bigglesworth! ha!

15. Sour grapes, TMZ? Ever since a judge made you take down his "porn video" you've been railing against him at every turn, making sh*t up as you go. Drop it. You're sounding like a whiny child.
