-- Deaf Musical Festival & Hearing Musical Festival
The Deaf Foam Festival, scheduled for three days
in July in Great Britain, may not be permitted
by the police - because of possible noise complaints
by hearing neighbors. Is it fair? The police do
not ban these loud Hearing Musical Festivals but
may ban these loud Deaf Musical Festivals? Deaf
Noise or Hearing Noise? Both are the same!

-- the Deaf Corned Beef
Is Corned Beef deaf? No, because it is a sandwich,
not a person. But in Scotland, if one asks you
"Are you Corned Beef" then it is a slang question
for "Are you deaf"! Why? Don't know but there
are many strange slang words that make no sense.
-- More about Marlee Matlin's sign-singing
It was learned that while Marlee was not shown on the
main CBS Super Bowl program, she was shown only
on the XBox and Windows 10 systems. Many of us didn't
know about it. The Big 3 (NFL, PepsiCo and CBS) did
not want eyes away from Lady Gaga. They are saying
we are second class citizens. If you remember
history, it was CBS that opposed closed captions
during the 1980's.
