-- a famous advertising agency insults the deaf
Ogilvy and Mather is the world's #1 advertising agency.
Many of the ads we see on TV, magazines, newspapers,
and web sites come from that agency. That agency
quoted something that insults the deaf. It said in part
"They are helpless as deaf mutes on the stage of
the metropolitan opera." This was in reference to
advertising writers that cannot write good ads!
-- Arizona Cardinals failed with past captioning efforts
The Arizona Cardinals has finally installed scoreboard
captions that will satisfy deaf fans. The Cardinals
tried different ways in past that made deaf fans unhappy.
The color background was wrong. All deaf fans were asked
to sit in one section. Hand-held devices were given to
deaf fans, making it impossible to use both hands for
communications, eating, drinking, etc. The Cardinals
changed all that - and deaf fans are now happy!
-- Many hearing people are wrong on one thing about the deaf
What is the one thing that many hearing people are wrong
about the deaf? They believe that children, born deaf,
will outgrow their deafness within a few years and become
hearing! This is hard to believe, but this is what many
hearing people think.
