-- a big risk in watching captions
There is a big risk when deaf people watch captions.
Their eyes are always on the captions, and not on the
full screen. As a result, they miss all the action!
This is not a joke. This issue was brought up today
in a deaf blog!
-- deaf prisoners are more isolated
A social worker, working with a deaf prisoner, said
he is isolated. Reason is that he is not allowed to
use the computer to catch up on deaf news. And
he is not able to subscribe to deaf newspapers,
deaf magazines and deaf newsletters - because all
of these publications are gone! Very sad.
-- movie casting directors and the deaf actors
There was a story on the web that was titled
"10 Casting Decisions That May Have Ruined the Movie."
It means that a wrong actor cast for a wrong movie
role ruined the movie! Let us talk about hearing
actors that play deaf roles. DeafDigest thinks
there were many movies that were box office flops
because of these wrong actor roles and wrong casting
decisions. Should we have the last laugh?
