Stupidest Protest Ever
Blind people protesting Blindness.
Oy.
Blindness is a metaphor in the movie… as it has been forever.
The idea that sighted people in their 20s, 30s and older suddenly becoming blind, surrounded by others who are suddenly blind, would not be disoriented and find it hard to deal with a massive new challenge is pretty absurd on its face.
To quote Marc Maurer, president of the Baltimore-based National Federation of the Blind, who said to the AP, “The movie portrays blind people as monsters, and I believe it to be a lie. Blindness doesn’t turn decent people into monsters.
They should really wait until they see the movie before they jump to conclusions about it.
“The movie portrays blind people as monsters, and I believe it to be a lie. Blindness doesn’t turn decent people into monsters.
This do remind of important cartoon friend of I draw.

It never ok to make the funs of something that harm. People who wont see have hard time making for normal. Expose!?!?! BUT WHY??? Same with person who make for threat in education cartoon i show.
One day The Americans will wake upping and know that they wrong for always making fun of black, retardation, blind, color, and disabilty. Also racists!
Fat Americans will punished. For their hate hearts full of, and mean eyes.
Jeff just told a joke.
If you read the piece, J-Mc, this group did see it… unless you were making a bad pun.
Don’t think it counts as a pun.
Comment not appreciate Jeff. Who laugh at a not funny joke? Imbacils.
DaneCook, what people will do to promote themselves. Is that the best cartoon you have, really?
I read Danecookforlife’s comic strip and his post and I completely don’t get it. It gave me headache, I guess he’s trying to say with his writing style. Can someone explain it to me?
I liked Jeff’s joke quite a bit.

Sorry for the double post, I think following that link caused me to lose 20 IQ points.
just a dumb situation. groups that look for reasons to get their name in the press. there hasn’t been a decent protest in this company since the civil rights movement.
we get promise keepers, hands across america, and this.
this country needs a fucking bitchslap.
Jeff’s joke is actually spoken, after a fashion, by one of the blinded characters about two-thirds of the way into the movie.
In other news . . . woman’s groups have organized a boycott of THE WOMEN because they heard it’s about women and there’s sure to be an unlikable one in the bunch.
Marc Maurer should have also protested Idiocracy since he is obviously a dumbass.
I hear Lex will be protesting THE LOST SKELETON RETURNS AGAIN because he thinks it’s prejudiced against boners.
hcat, brilliant!
Whoever was who said that organisations need somebody to be angry at, otherwise they cease to have a point was very much correct about this group. I mean… really… I know they may be blind, but they’re surely not completely dumb enough to realise that if the population all went blind then things would cease to remain the same.
And, besides, it’s not like people choose to be blind. People aren’t going to see this movie and go “wow, blind people are slobs. I’m never going to be blind.” etc.
idiots.
