Hang in there sister. Almost to 30K posts!

Sadly... I think Idiocracy is becoming more true and true everyday...

If you don't know what Idiocracy is... it's a social commentary on the link between consumerism and anti-intellectualism.

This pseudo-commercial pretty much tell it all:
Transcript can be found here: The Bullshit Observer: Drink Brawndo And Win At Yelling!!!!

Yep, good job on undermining them. Although for those that can hear would know automatically it was an ad based on how the news personnel talk.

Yeah... I figured out what they said by the time I replayed it through ten times. Apparently I was still off on a few words... doesn't help that Kopke has an accent that I can't identify or Betty flatten out a few of her vowels (which is a dead-give away if a person is suffering from a hearing loss. At least that's how I am able to correct CI users' perception of the world.)

Thanks for the transcript. Although I was just trying to get the people who claimed themselves as deaf or hard-of-hearing to be more accountable for the materials they post.

Yep, I agree

Merci beacoup!

Thanks! It just seems like you are well-read on these type of literature from looking around on AD. WHen I tried asking other Deaf people, they just recommend "Deafhood" and "A Journey Into the Deaf-World" which are a good place to start, although I don't think most people even finish reading those books, but it is not really the same as employing literacy devices in a fictional piece of work.

Closest thing I can find that is written by a Deaf person is Douglas Bullards's novel, "Islay," though. I do know that we are in an era where one can encouter all three methods in their daily lives.

Yes, it was a long time! Thanks for your welcome back!

Welcome back! It'd been so while!

Thanks jillio, I'm looking foward to better things I only wish i never waited so long to do something about it.
