  • It's actually a clever satire on the supposed iconicity of signed languages and the reality that they are indeed anything but. It's no more offensive than any humour based upon a word in one language sounding like a different word in another language. It's funny, and should not be taken to be offensive. (By the way, I'm a qualified sign language interpreter who has published work on variation in signed languages; also a huge Adam Buxton fan.)

  • "Because it's teeny-weeny and made of paper!" is a line I will have to find a use for.

  • @cyaninternetdog stupid.

  • @EliteGamer001 Aww, did i upset the retard?

  • @cyaninternetdog You should be shot at birth.

  • Why doesn't some sign-language practioner person, with a big vocabulary, make a video response saying to all those people who have difficulty thinking about 'what a third person might be thinking', what is going on, in this harmless video.

    .

    Such a video would be of no use to all those non-understanding viewers, who have without realising, an inferiority complex.

    Those folk are already eligibe for free N.H.S. psychotherapeutic tutoring; there's no waiting list.

    .

    .

    Cheers.

    del-boy.

  • @trainsforyou there are roughly over a million Deaf people in the uk alone. Add to that the thousands of hearing people who know sign language that makes a fair percentage of the population who can sign. Also the majority of signed programs are put on in the middle of the night so I think it's only fair that some of the news is signed for them during normal daytime hours and people such as yourself show more respect.
