The comment that got me was the first one from John S. talking about a CI implanted 7 year old using her voice and CART. I want to meet the 7 year old, deaf or hearing, that reads well enough to follow conversation in print! Get a grip! That comment just perpetuates the stratification between oral and sign.
If A.G.Bell wants a commercial showing oral deaf, then let them contract for one. To complain that a commercial is being aired using sign is the most childish action ever. WTF. Do they think if deaf signers aren't shown on T.V., they can just pretend to everyone that they don't exist? This pissed me off!
