David Oral and ASL - Google Video
Well, say, in many videos I browsed through, some hearing people make fun of Deaf culture and Deaf people. I don't see any complaints from you. Sorry but don't expect me to take your complaint for "David Oral and ASL" seriously at this very moment.

I'm assiduously curious about your opinion regarding captioning the vlogs. Why don't all d/Deaf bloggers ASL-caption their blogs? I'm sick and tired of reading the blogs on poorly designed layouts, small and bad-colored texts, countless typos, and so on. It would be a nice break from reading innumerable text-based materials namely newspapers, blogs, books, magazines for me to watch d/Deaf bloggers signing in ASL. Think about it, Blind or DeafBlind couldn't or have a difficult time reading the texts so think about the wonderful endless possibilities of ASL-captioned blogs for them! Eureka! I indirectly found a solution. ASL-captioning all blogs reduces the overused and strained muscles of our eyes from reading texts too many times.

Anyone disagrees with what I suggested above is rich-deservedly contemplated as a hypocrite and phony for supporting the captioning the vlogs.

Until then, I wouldn't support your notion of captioning the vlogs unless all d/Deaf and hearing bloggers ASL-caption their blogs. Until then... That's how it will and should work.

Take a look at this hot hearing woman sharing the story of "Three Little Pigs" in ASL (without audio) with us. There're some videos like that by hearing people, it reinforces my argument that it's not only d/Deaf people who made similar ASL-based vlogs without captions. Aside from that, a hot hearing woman with ASL skill is always quadruple-plus.

As I told others, if you (to general) want to understand the ASL. Take ASL courses or ask an ASL-fluent d/Deaf person to teach them. Some of them would love to spend their time teaching ASL. I know I do. ASL classes is almost always fun for everyone to take. It's the same concept for different subjects like being a foreign resident in a foreign country, you have to learn their language to say what you want to them.
