    I find it funny that I managed to provide a full transcript with the auditory descriptions while Kokonut failed to find one that illustrate his point.

    Oh, I agree. Yes, I'm familiar with Idiocracy. We have become a society of non-thinkers. I find it frightening.

    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:

    Yeah, the doctor had an accent, and also spoke very softly. And Betty definately had some tell tale deaf pronunciation.

    Some people, I guess, are gulliable enough to believe any ad that comes along. Beyond me why they rely on them instead of valid, scientific information.

    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.)

    YW. And I knew the point you were trying to make, but since this was no more than an advertisement for Hough Hearing Center, I thought it worthwhile to expose it for what it was. LOL.

    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.
