DeafDigest - 09 September 2021

  DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - September 9, 2021 -- Deaflympics for the Blind Deaflympics for the Blind! A joke? A posting on an Asian web site said that it started in 1924 in Paris and it was called the International Silent Games, with participating deaf athletes from nine European nations, and it was chaired by a deaf man from Paris. Yet it was described as an event for blind athletes. It is disturbing to read that facts can get all twisted around by reporters that know nothing about  what they were writing about!   -- Deaf consultants and hearing script writers Do hearing script writers listen to advice from deaf consultants? A deaf movie critic gave just one word: no!   -- last to know A deaf person, remembering the 9/11, said he was the last to know about it. No one told him about it. TV news was not captioned. Watching that news program he thought it was the plane, in 1945, crashing into the Empire State Building, unable to see through the fog. And so on!   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 09/05/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
