11.16.05 Tidbits

About SURFACE: In order to embarrass NBC, it is necessary to mention this to someone else. Especially by getting in touch with CNN. I agreed with Paul that we can do something about this -- how? Click on this link to tell them about this. We need to bombard them to let them know that we were offended by their repeated actions in hiring hearing ones to imitate us -- that it is newsworthy since we hadn't received a call or an email from Khalil Olmstead.

Of course, I intend to make another call tomorrow afternoon once again.

Oral Sex Causes What? Mouth Cancer, that is. But that is if you have HPV.

Tender Subjects, Is It?: My shoulders and arms are pretty sore and very stiff. I actually cannot sign above my shoulders -- that's how bad it is. Will keep up doing it. I was startled to learn that I lost 16 lbs in the last two weeks. Getting out of Gus & Jason's apartment in Norristown tremendously helped me, obviously.

In fact, if you kept on noticing that there were two pseudo-names in some comment boxes named "J.F." and "M.B." who kept on attacking me with derogatory words on my blogsite in the last few days -- they probably are none other than Joshua M. of Limerick, PA and Marb(t)y Bonales of Louisville, Kentucky or wherever he is as long as he gets to force his ex to give him the flight tickets. Some of you may remember Marb(t)y when I wrote an entry blasting him of his animalistic behavior last Memorial Day Weekend when I was in the District.

I'm so glad to get out of their hair. Staying with Gus is pretty much negative. I mean, he totally controls everything else to a pulp. Gus is pretty much a sore loser -- if you crushed his arguments, he will run to Joshua or someone else for help. It was amusing to observe how animalistic Joshua went on me after Gus ran to him for help after I trashed Gus for cheating on his partner repeatedly.

AS you can see, I lost 16 lbs in two weeks, I feel clean. I feel good. I feel free. So they resort to wage a campaign of namecallings via the comment boxes on my blogsite, how pathetic is that?! Suffice to say, I got them blocked as well.

I am entertaining no supplicants today, fools!

Update On Julie "Jules" Dalbom": Julie is now in Spadling Rehabilitation in Denver, Colorado -- I got her connected with the lawyers to sue the shit out of George Washington University Hospital for mistreating her when she was hospitalized. And she also informed me that the Metropolitan Police Department has located the person who drove the car on her and is in the process of prosecuting this person for hit and run incident. As of now, Jules appreciated the emails and cards from the blogreaders. Thanks, readers!

Rummaging Through Boxes: In the closet upstairs at my parents' house, I found a centennial book of Gallaudet's football program. I decided to scan the picture and post it for the world to see. This picture is so homoerotic. Nothing is hot than seeing a guy's hand on someone's leg!
The guy furthest right, bottom row is very hot!

Oh, this picture contains the first Gallaudet football team in 1883 -- 122 years ago, that is. Great picture, is it?

Cheers,

Write, Tell, Call or Kill "SURFACE"!

Don't you ever hate this stuff? Growing up, you learned by rumors that a deaf character would make an appearance on television, film and/or plays. You were excited, intrigued and curious -- only to be slapped in the face that these deaf characters were portrayed by whom?

Hearing actors/actresses.

To cast a hearing person as deaf character is akin to cast a white woman as African American male! It is akin to cast a dog for the role of a cat! The producers assumed that it is easy to pretend portray deaf characters. You do not do that with African Americans or any races. But it is OK to do that with deaf persons.

There are many Deaf actresses/actors who aspired to break in -- but there are producers do not give them an opportunity. For instance, there was a show called SURFACE on NBC-TV on Monday nights. They had a deaf character portrayed by whom? A hearing actress who cannot sign. In fact, I got 10 emails complaining that this bitch cannot sign worth a shit. In fact, one wrote: "She was unreadable and unrealistic!"

I checked some idiotic commentators on a message board run by IMDb.com by others who attempted to justify this, you may read and laugh if you want to. In fact, IMDb.com deleted all comments produced by Deaf people who protested -- the total of 7 comments were deleted, perhaps when they responded back in defense.

Laura Malloy commented, "I think you need to calm down. The actress did not appear after the show and claim to be legally deaf. It's called ACTING. People do it every day, they play characters that are sometimes the opposite of who they are."

Laura is obviously ignorant. She probably needs to buy a book by John Schuchman's Hollywood Speaks to see the ramifications that the Hollywood has done many injustices to the deaf people in general. Laura, you're an idiot.

Another commentator, Chauliodus-1 said: "Gee when did having a disability become a "talent"? One's ethnicity, the others an impairment. The moment you see a white person or a black person you know who they are, you don't with deaf people nor do I care if this women isn't deaf.

Again, this guy obviously missed the point. This is a classic example of audism. Why do you think I loathed people like him/her?

Here is the best one, Trevor whined: "You know, I have a lot of compassion for people with disabilities. My own son has Down Syndrome, by the way. And all through college, I had a close friend who was blind, and I read his textbooks to him and walked him around campus ... Not so with hearing-normal actors playing hearing-impaired roles. So the actress's sign language was terrible. So what?"

I love when hearing persons claimed that they are supportive of disabilities then turn the table on to argue that we had no right to object that we do not like hearing people portraying us in the films and televisions. Trevor, that comment you made is bullshit. Good try but no cigar, blindness is not deafness, deafness is not down syndrome -- there is no way in Heavens or Hell that you can say that you have a compassion for this shit. Do us a favor, shut the fuck up, Trevor!

When I got these emails today, I made a phone call to Kahlil Olmstead, the so-called NBC Media twice today. I got ahold of someone who refused to identify herself/himself, instead transferred me 4 or 5 times to Kahlil's voice mailbox. What else is new? I wanted to find out more information about this subject. I also left the meesage for them to return the call or email me back to defend their turf. So far, nothing at all.

SURFACE is produced by NBC Universal Television Studio, the Executive Producers are Josh and Jonas Pate, they are ignorant twins from North Carolina. Believe it or not, the place of production is in Wilmington, North Carolina -- they could have get in touch with Gallaudet University, merely 384 miles away and do the auditions like some productions did in the past.

If you wanted to express your opinions to these folks who hired a hearing actress to portray deaf character and cannot sign worth a shit -- get in touch with Kahlil Olmstead at 818.840.3727 and/or Kahlil.olmstead@nbcuni.com.

I feel that it is necessary to email or call them in a relentless manner to make them see that what they did was very inappropriate to start with. And it is time to stop using these phony actresses to falsely portray deaf characters in films and televisions! Enough is enough.

Here is a copy of Michael Krajnak's email to Kahlil regarding the situation. Do your part as well:

Subject: Surface episode on 11/14/05

Hello,

As a Deaf person who enjoys Surface, I watch it faithfully every week. The other shows "Threshold" and "Invasion" I found them to be bit too farfetched and bit too sci fi. "Surface" is compellingly believable, authentic and mind expanding, all in all, well done kudos.

However, I was totally offended by the "deaf" female character in last night's show. Her signing was abominable and difficult to understand. The interaction between Lee and his "deaf" girlfriend was unrealistic regarding the lipreading. As an American Sign Language specialist with a degree from Gallaudet University I was saddened by the tainting of not only my world but "Surface".

I'm curious to know why this situation was portrayed in this way and why you did not choose to use a Deaf actress.

I'm looking forward to your response.

Thank you,

Michael

For once, let's kick their butts.

Cheers,

Tidbits for 11.14.05

Another Noble Acts By Our Own: You wonder why they wanted to kill the Americans? These things are common in the Middle East. Perhaps more than you ever think. Torture, snatch people off the streets.

What Happened When GW Bush Tried To Be Funny? This is hilarious. Check Joseph Rainmound's entry. Be sure to watch the WMV file of what Muhammad Ali reacted when GW Bush tried to joke with him. Priceless!

I'm Sure You Heard About This ...: I'm sure you heard about this female suicide bomber in Amman, Jordan on television or the Internet? She confessed on Jordan's television that her "explosive belt" did not go off as expected. I do not condone suicidal bombings at all.

But let's face the reality -- Jordan is one of few countries that refused to acknowledge the human rights. In fact, the United States routinely sent its prisoners to Egypt and Jordan so that they can torture them for the United States. You could say that the United States does not torture ... technically, but they are accomplices to the nations that tortured many people, yes, some are not innocent and many are innocent. But guess what?

I'd question the authenticity of this particular woman's confession, though.

Weird Tactic! Wonder if it will ever happen to Jeff Carlson? Check this out.

So This Begins! Dylan emailed me to warn me that there is a possibility that my favorite character, Amethyst has made a brief appearance in Infinite Comics #2 where a purple-laden woman battled The Spectre. I was bit disheartened -- The Spectre is one big nuts. He just killed the Shazam Wizard. It was said that the eradication of Magic occurs in 21st Century and only one planet far away was preserved -- that is Gemworld. Maybe something had transpired. I'm not sure -- maybe the next issue where Mordru waged a huge battle against Doctor Fate will shape the outcome of Magic itself related to Gemworld. Only time will tell. But again, again and again, the DC Comics always fucked itself up in the process from time to time. So I'll not be surprised that if Amethyst got killed, she'll be reincarnated in 20 years. Go figure.

The Workouts Begin! I have my personal trainer. Name is Barry. He's muscular hunk in his 50s. Went to get a workout today for two hours. Let's say, my upper body is destroyed. Am working on three workouts -- Mondays are for upper body workouts, Wednesdays are for back body workouts, Fridays are for lower body workouts.

Normally, I type entries in matter of minutes. It nearly takes me an hour to finish this -- that's how exhausted I am. But patience shall pay off. I'll look good in the long run. And men shall tremble before me. As always.

Tomorrow Is What? ORAL SURGERY!! God have mercy upon the planet.

UPDATE: Today turned out to be pre-oral surgery examination. The real oral surgery occurs on Tuesday, Nov. 22 -- that is the day the doctor will pull out not only one but two wisdom teeth out.

Cheers,

Conservatives Are Hypocrites

You Said Liberal Protesters Are Violent? In Fairfax, George Mason University had to cancel a lecture by Michael Moore last year after the series of compliants by conservative people including several radio hosts.

But when it is time for someone to stage a protest against the military recruiting on its campus, one person himself was Air Force veteran who served in the United States Air Force for four years between 2000 to 2004. Tariq Khan said, "A lot of things went down that I didn't believe in, a lot of what we were doing had nothing to do with protecting freedom, but the recruiters never tell you that."

For further information on this subject, you may read this.
It was his right to protest -- he did not interfere the military recruiting efforts but he reserved the right to share the truth that the military recruiters do not want you to know. Suddenly, one conservative student at George Mason attacked him. Tariq was subsequently arrested for exercising his right to protest at the school that honored a man who was all about individual rights.

Of course, you will not see Bill O'Reilly, Michele Gook Malkin, FagPatriot or conservative pigs touching on this base. They love to attack Liberals who stood up for something they believed in but when they fucked up along the route, they went dead and acted like it is not there.

That is so typical of compassionate conservative dickwads.

The Weekend In Hopewellless

American English signs? That woman, Ms. Kathryn Cleary, should be removed completely from Marie Katzenbach School for the Deaf for making up the idea that there is a language like American English. The article is decidedly biased from the start. Know why? They focused only on one person, Ms. Kathryn Cleary, to argue about what's wrong with the community.

The article was done in very lazy manner -- they did not go out and search for more information from the diverse backgrounds on the subject. Cleary said, Cleary said, Cleary said ... Barf. Double jeers to this article.

Virginia Wins: Today, Virginia Women's Basketball had an exhibition -- unlike in the last 4 years, they routed EA Sports 85-55. This is a sign of good days to come. Yeah, Virginia upsets No. 24 Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech, 27-17 in football. Way to go, Cavaliers!

Another Gallaudet fella On The List: Just keep an eye on your children if they are near this guy. I do not know why Jay Baldridge is smiling in this picture. But understand this, this is free information -- you can access this at the mpdc.dc.gov website, but by law, you are not allowed to harass, stalk or pick on this individual. You are allowed to be aware that there is a pedophile running around you.

Uncle Bert's Clubnight: Last night, I wandered around the small town of Hopewell. Saw a local bar that I never saw before. It turned out that it was recently established. I entered the premise. There is small dance floor on the right side. Lots of women were grinding against each other. About 20 men were watching them with drools on the left side. I mean, these women were grinding so hard that some crashed on the floor.

I tried to contain my laughter. I saw few women putting their hands on the floor so that their asses can be "seen" in public as they shook their behinds. I observed things in very scientifically manner, I noticed that the caucasian males were staring at African American women. These women knew these rednecks wanted their asses. Their eyes said so.

I rolled my eyes. But the caucasian men restrained because of white women who were competing against the African American women on the dance floor. It was getting silly each minute -- then I saw one caucasian guy being shoved on the dance floor by his male friends -- all African American women were rubbing him.

I burst out laughing and walked out of the bar. Such is a life in that small town.

How was your day?

Cheers,

BEWARE Sorenson taking over our Deaf life! Imagine Mormons found a way to infiltrate in our lives without knocking the door! Just touch the remote control and poof, we are endorsing mormons' activities and letting them conquer our right to interpreting services in our local communities. And more importantly-- the right to choose that allows us to support our values! If we don't, SVRS will, later or sooner, bleed us to death by robbing us blind for VPing for relay and anyone. Competition is the best to keep SVRS on their fucking toes. DO NOT LET SORENSON RULE AND BRAINWASH US!

The guy who got shot [outside of Gallaudet] few weeks ago, I bet u a dime he did provoked them. He's a troublemaker, he likes to start something all the time! Don't mention me!

People who give birth to 10-20 children in the name of God because they believe the Bible tells them to "go and multiply" are religious sex rabbits. According to a source, Mormons are one of the fastest growing religions in the world. Brigham Young once told the parishoners that God told him to tell everyone to fuck and get pregnant as often as possible -- to multiply! Did he even give them instructions on sex positions to enhance conception success rate? I can envision a movie, "Invasion of the Mormons." Keep on fucking, you religious sex rabbits, and that movie shall become a reality.

To Provost Jane "Chicken Hawk" Fernandez...you need to shop for your clothes at Neiman Marcus, not JcPenny.

To all of those hearing folks who are learning sign language: it is not cool to communicate with another hearing person by talking and half-signing at the same time, even though she may or may not know sign language. Once you do that, you look stupid and your signs make no sense.
[I see this all the time at Gally]

Is Emily Muns still wandering the streets of DC? When and where was her last sighting?

Weak minds think in crowds.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, RICKY DUNCAN TAYLOR!!

Damn it, Gino Gouby! You have no idea how many guys are waiting for you to move on and be happy! We HEART you, ya sweet hottie!

Joshua's Halloween monk costume was very appropriate!

RESPECT - show me damn respect, you lowly people. If you don't give a fuck, i don't either. If you want me to give a fuck, then show the damn respect.

All these "I *heart* blah blah".... sticking finger down throat.

Pard in Atlanta needs to drop dead or be in jail -- that old geezer chases after uninfected men for his sexual conquests. It is sickening. Ever notice that his friends tend to be the ones who are irresponsible with sexual activities? Pard's friends are the ones in his age group -- one only needs to look not far from Pard's connections.

Impeach Cheney! They had no problem trying to impeach President Clint over a blowjob. Why not impeach Cheney over REAL national security issues? Too bad karma hasn't come back to Cheney yet. No wonder he had many heart attacks and danced with death one too many time. The great one will come sooner or later, and he'll croak.

For Pack, I second the motion and heart you to the moon, Pack, the moon!?!

M - do you like to share love, or do you just thrive on people bickering and bitching for entertainment?

Two words: Jeff Stone.
OMG! My penis drips!

Thank goodness Miers resigned! See, a woman had enough sensibility to resign. One of the greatest political news to happen during Bush's so-called administration.

Pack - don't hang in there. Go ahead and hang yourself.

Can you believe this? Alex Abenchuchan's girlfriend is Alexa! Anyone willing to date a guy that has the similar name probably has an issue with narcissism.

Why is men asshole?

Mordru Rules

Howard Stern & Relay Service: My good friend, Chris and I chatted online today. I told him about the evolution of relay service and its impact on Deaf Community. Chris is hearing fellow who graduated from Dartmouth College whom I loved very much. He said, "Oh, is that relay service? I once heard Howard Stern doing this to a deaf guy via the relay service! Howard made fun of this deaf guy via the relay service!" I was bit surprised by this -- is this true?

Either way, it is apparent that Howard Stern did not call directly to Trudy Suggs, Carl Denney or me -- we would make him look bad just like that. Too bad for us.

Gallaudet Volleyball Season Finished At 23-12: After posting 3-0 win over Notre Dame College of Maryland, they succumbed to No. 2 Juniata College 3-0 in the NCAA Division III Mid-Atlantic Regional Semifinals. Juniata (33-5) advanced while Gallaudet closed the season at 23-12 under the first year of Head Coach Lynn Ray Boren. The future is bright for the volleyball team at Gallaudet.

Only God Can Save You, Pat Robertson! In Dover, Pennsylvania, the school board decided not to include "intelligent design". Pat Robertson, that Xian nut from Virginia Beach retorted: "I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God. You just rejected him from your city,"

A resident of Dover shot back, "If Pat decides to visit Dover, he'll need God's help."

Well said!

Steve Courson Dead: My good friend from Pittsburgh, Nanc, is going to mourn this man for days to come. Steve Courson was instrumental figure that helped Pittsburgh Steelers to win the Super Bowl twice in 1978 and 1979. Steve Courson was the first NFL player to admit that he used steroids -- suffice to say, he was let go from the NFL. He was ill with heart disease, attributed probably by his use of steroids, but he cleaned up his act -- too bad, at the age of 50, he attempted to sway his dog away from the tree that he was cutting down -- and the 44-foot tall tree ultimately killed him and injured his dog. I know you guys are snickering ... but let's be serious for a minute. Shoot, I give up. Go ahead and laugh!

Bah! We Already Had This At Gallaudet! Some would say that Carl Denney, Lance Mann, Rob Voreck, David Simmons and yes, some accused me as well. Gallaudet has its shares of students who stayed in college for decades. I do not think Johnny Lechner is any different from these that were accused at Gallaudet.

WWBT 12 NBC ~ Jefferson Pilot Company Sucks! I emailed the persons to question them whether if they had hired a deaf person -- no, hard of hearing persons do NOT count at all! -- that used ASL as a primary language. Then I made few calls, they kept on transferring me to different persons until I got stuck with what? Voice mail messages.

Trust me, fellas, they are discriminating Deaf people. The local TV stations, wherever they are, they do not hire a deaf person. They won't! They claimed that they do not discriminate. But they kept on transferring the phone calls so many times that I counted more than 10 different persons ... I could not get ahold of anyone else who is responsible for a certain department that hires anything else, really. Let's face the music -- the hearing people do not want you! They do not want you to do their jobs. They only want you to do the menial jobs and shut up!! If you mention that you're Deaf, they quickly transfer you to someone else ... and you end up being stranded wtih some god-damned voice mails.

This calls what? Vengeance, of course.

Does The CIA Has Right To Do This? The CIA has no right to snatch anyone else from some country and transport an accused one to a country that actively supported the use of torture. This indicated that the CIA has no respect for Italian authorities or its laws, the CIA is one of many Americanism arrogances at its best. Now the Italian Authorities are issuing the extradition of several CIA officers -- do you truly think the CIA will respect its demands? No, never will. The CIA thinks they can barge in any country and snatch people out of their homes without proof of their guilty or innocence and claim that it is for the national security. What a hogwash tactic. Shame on CIA.

Yes ... I Know! The pictures you are seeing is from JSA #78 and #79 -- you can click on each image to see it up close. What happened is that Mordru managed to get himself free from his prison inside the Rock of Eternity. After attacking the Shazam Wizard, he went on to kick JSA's butts. But in the process, he was blasted from behind by someone else. That someone else is none other than the apparition using Dr. Fate's artifacts to challenge Mordru. One has to find out what happened next in JSA #80. Cool panels, is it?

But the whole concept is how I feel when I deal with fucking hearies out there. Mordru wants his own way to do whatever he wished -- so do I!

Cheers,
