Pepsi Superbowl Commercial DUE Mon., Feb. 11, 2008
Pepsi created a commercial for the Superbowl (Sunday, Feb. 3, 2008). This commercial, called, "Bob's House", was based on an old joke known by deaf people. Watch the commercial at: http://au.youtube.com:80/watch?v=ffrq6cUoE5A . What is your opinion of the commercial? Did you like it? Were you happy that deaf culture has gotten exposure on t.v.? Also, discuss this - the Alexander Graham Bell Association (supports oralism), sent a letter of complaint to Pepsi, saying that the commercial gives the false assumption that all deaf people use ASL. What is your opinion of this? Give your opinion of other's comments, too.

Yes, i am very happy about this commercial Bob's house. That is my favorite old joke. I love it different deaf jokes. I hope more different deaf commercial for every day. When i watch on show then break i want deaf commerial there also. Because deaf people are watch TV and why not on deaf commerial like hearing people.
Wow I just watch Bob's Pepsi Commercial. That is so funny. (Chuckles) But I agree with Pinky 10 because I like to see lot of deaf commercial. That is so for hearing involve with deaf commercial and praice sign to be creativity. Not for deaf always and be fair to hearing because hearing fanasty to sign. That what I thnk about it.
Hey, I like to support Pepsi Superbowl Commercial. I think good idea to show deaf commercial to show people what our life like. Hearing people alway ignore our life and patience. You said Graham Group complaint about that. Hello? Graham is hearing and he don't know about deaf culture, no offense.
Hello,
Bob's House, it is good commercial, and it is in Television. That was exciting for deaf culture. I like that commercial, it was good and bring our old joke back. =^P
And, about AGBell, I have see many deaf from deafread.com, most of them discuss about AGBell, big discuss. To me, I disagree with AGBell, of course, he have no right to "stab our back" about deaf. We are deaf, we are same to hearing people. We are not different, only our hearing, that is it.
Oh well, Life is not easy, is it? <-- My favorite quote. =^D
Good Night
