-- costing $50 million dollars but nothing for the deaf
Many of us know that University of Maryland has been
sued for not captioning their scoreboard at their
own Comcast Center (basketball games). A big point
raised was that the university spent $50 million
dollars for improvements at the Comcast Center -
yet not a penny for scoreboard captions!
-- a deaf winner of a worldwide pageant
Nehal Bhogaita, a young deaf woman, living in
Leicester, England, won the Miss India Worldwide
pageant. This pageant is open to ethnic Indians
that live anywhere in the world, outside of
India. She is versatile - a professional dancer,
a social worker for an agency that serves the
deaf, and is also a therapist at a salon.
-- The Humana hypocrisy with TV commercials
Humana is a national health insurance provider.
They have been advertising heavily on many TV
programs. These ads are not captioned. Yet on
their ads, it asks us, the deaf to call 711 to
reach them to discuss health insurance matters.
Hypocrite? Yes!
