Recently, BlueAppleFilms released an old video clip satirizing people with CI's. Pretty funny. I'm sure the video clip was produced all in good humor and is of a typical self-depreciating nature. I forgot to mention this; it is captioned.
DMS CI Video Clip
Now, before you CI users get all lathered up, keep in mind the video's age; It is over 12 years old, and the derision towards the CI was pretty much the prevailing sentiment at Gallaudet, I guess. (You CI users would not want to be at Gallaudet when I was a student! It was downright hostile. Fast forward a couple of years to 1995, the attitude has now been upgraded to 'mockery'. That was fast! )
What's truly amazing is how fast times change, and how attitudes and acceptance, within the Deaf community and especially at Gallaudet, truly has undergone a sea change in favor of the CI. Goes to show how the CI has undergone such a dramatic image makeover, worthy of every marketer's envy all the world over.
