It's showing that the man doesn't know she is blind, and her disability doesn't affect how well she can do her job.

Her eyes look like she's blind, hmm! This commercial is pretty interesting on this conversation. :)

@Avrillavigne99 Hi there I don't know if you are still doing your project but there is a Chilean video called ``quien es el ciego'' or "who's blind", which shows a girl walking carelessly towards a street, the sound of an engine approaching, the girl is pulled back by a guy. You think the girl is blind, then it focuses on the guy's cane. It is Spanish language, but there is nothing spoken. If you just search ``quien es el ciego'' it will come up.

by damn, when she opens her eyes i go, 'HOLY SHIT GHOST', - I'm being discrimatory, but the sudden reveal of eyes with mo pupils is fucking scary, let me tell ye.

He can't even "see the person". Still love the message though.

I totally missed that she was blind... which means it probably worked :)

Now, one thing I'd like to see is a person like me: The disability DOES hinder their ability to do the job, but a simple accommodation can allow the employee to do the job... and the employer actually has it in his fucked up mind, that as long as he "gives the employee a chance" to do the work, that he doesn't have to provide accommodations, and, ultimately, we have to resort to litigation.

THAT'S something I'd like to see!
