-- deaf mother in a TV commercial
BBDO Guerrero is the #1 advertising agency in
the Philippines. This media company featured
a deaf mother with her newly-born hearing baby.
The purpose was to tell the public that mother
touching the baby very gently is an expression
of love. A picture is at:

-- something that landlords may not know
In Sydney, a big Australian city, landlords,
renting apartments to deaf tenants, are
required to install deaf devices. A newspaper
pointed out that many landlords were not
aware of this law!
-- doing something illegal
Deaf people in New Zealand are frustrated;
many TV programs do not have captions. The
government does not want to spend money
on captions. They have two choices - turn
off the TV and do something else - or -
to do something illegal. Some of them,
with knowledge of technology, are able
to pirate captioned TV programs from
other English-speaking nations (USA,
Canada, Australia, Great Britain, etc)!
Illegal? Yes, but no one has been
caught and sent to jail yet.
