This isn't "bad news" for tall kids. Essentially nothing has changed for them overall, they wouldn't see this message anyways. This is just possibly good news for the demographic of medium/short kids who may have the chance of seeing this, which is the whole purpose of this campaign.

I think this is a pretty common problem, people failing to realize that good news for one demographic isn't necessarily bad news for another.

i think a more common problem is people taking flippant comments way too seriously.

Fair enough. :)

that's a really impressive argument!
