-- weather news program with bad captions
DirecTV dropped The Weather Channel because of a contract
disagreement and replaced it with WeatherNation. Captions?
Weather Channel captions are better than the WeatherNation
captions. The Weather Channel people have been telling the
FCC about the poor quality of WeatherNation captions! What
did the WeatherNation people say? That it is a programming
problem they are trying to fix. What will FCC say about it?
Good question, since DeafDigest cannot read the minds of the
FCC people!
-- a promising deaf bodybuilder
Shelley Beattie, who was deaf, was an outstanding body builder
during the early 1990's, competing against the best in
the world. Do we have another one? Katie McDonald, a deaf
California woman, is a rookie in body building competition,
taking part in few events, but has finished in top 10 each time,
the last one was a win. She is now aiming for the highest level
in the world - International Federation of BodyBuilding & Fitness.
-- tags telling people of deafness
Do deaf people need tags telling everyone of their deafness?
Well, in Australia, there is a new tag - that tells everyone
of deafness, of medical issues and the home address, etc.
Deaf Australians using these tags? No! These are Deaf Dog
tags, which is something new this year. Will Australians
rush to buy these Deaf Dog special tags? Dogs can't point
to their ears, telling people of their deafness!
