DeafDigest - 17 November 2021

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - November 17, 2021 -- no more drive-in fast food orders for deaf Many deaf drivers love to order food at KFC, especially through the drive-ins. There are always some hassles between deaf customers and the fast food staff, many of whom never met a deaf person in their lives. To speed up the orders, KFC is experimenting with the closing up of these drive-ins at certain locations. This means all drivers, including the deaf must use their KFC apps to order their food and go inside for pick ups. Good for the deaf, or bad for the deaf? Time will tell!   - title cards for the deaf In these early days, silent movies were shown, and title cards were inserted between filmed scenes. The deaf (and the hearing) loved watching these silents during the 1920's. While silents were replaced by these talkie films, there were no more title cards (and therefore no captions for them). Emerson Romero, who was deaf, came up with these same title cards to caption these talkie films. Seems no one gives Romero credit for his hard work with a few films. Eventually he gave up on this time consuming efforts.   -- no longer "the only deaf actor" any more An insider in Hollywood said: no longer "the only deaf actor" any more This insider is correct, but it leads to infighting and bitterness among deaf actors rejected for roles that other deaf actors won! Same as with these hearing actors.   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 11/14/21 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
