Signers..

[MrHoustonp]

..on the music channels

What is the point? I don't mean to discriminate to deaf people here by the way..

But what is the point in them being there in the corner, dancing to the music and signing the lyrics? It just looks stupid, especially when they are not suited to the music videos they are on! Basshunter is on atm and there is a chubby woman who must be 40 odd dancing and signing..

Put the Box on now if you're up at this time

why not?

deaf people were always out at the nightclub i worked in, they can feel the bass and the beat, why not know the lyrics aswell?

its just annoying when they are on tv shows, once you notice them thats all you can see lol

[matt_vtr_15]

have you never heared of def jam? all there music is focussed at that market.....

How come they always have signers on t.v shows at like 2-3am do they think deaf people dont sleep lol

i always thought that, why aint they on eastenders at tea time? strange

[Pat_Vts]

i think because people like you all will complain it distracts you lol

[saxo_scottish]

i like it me, i make up litle stories for them as they go along

[Kerryc]

i dont notice them until someone points them out to me then they ditract me the rest of the program.
would never complain about them though there helping people

[rossj]

I always wonder why they are on at stupid times...

Never seen people sign music videos seems strange

[matt_vtr_15]

why do they not have like a red button feature? so that all the main programmes in prime time have a signer when it would actually be of some use??

get a partition going ftw!!!

it is useless at early hours of the morning!!!
