BLIND PROTEST 'BLINDNESS' "Blind people quarantined in a mental asylum, attacking each other, soiling themselves, trading sex for food. For Marc Maurer, who's blind, such a scenario _ as shown in the movie 'Blindness' _ is not a clever allegory for a breakdown in society. Instead, it's an offensive and chilling depiction that Maurer fears could undermine efforts to integrate blind people into the mainstream. 'The movie portrays blind people as monsters, and I believe it to be a lie,' said Maurer, president of the Baltimore-based National Federation of the Blind. 'Blindness doesn't turn decent people into monsters.'"
We're not usually the type to agree with the boomers who rant about how our youth are being polluted by a society that abuses sex in pop culture, but when seven-year-olds are behaving exactly like people do in the worst of rap videos, we have to admit that perhaps there's something to that argument.
Don't watch the video above if you don't want to begin your day with something awfully depressing.
