I love how you put in subtitles for actual deaf people!!!! I sometimes get a few very sweet regular customers at the pharmacy I work at, so I've been learning a few ASL phrases to make them feel more comfortable. :]
My baby ferret was born deaf, but she's learned a few simple ASL commands in the past year! (come, roll over, spin, high-five, kisses, blah blah etc...)
I loved this video. I am sad that so many people seem to miss the point, but I wanted to you that I loved it and thought it was very creative and moving to me. Thank You.
