      • nmnnotmyname, on 03/17/2008, -11/+3Laugh Out Loud!!!
        ...lol should not be spelled out, ***** that. It becomes more of an expression than an acronym after a while. Its not even true, do you REALLY laugh out loud every time you type 'lol'?
        • MiserJ, on 03/17/2008, -3/+6I don't know. It did make me 'lol' out loud.
        • tsaxer, on 03/17/2008, -2/+7Yes.
          Yes I do.
        • nmnnotmyname, on 03/17/2008, -3/+1I actually lightly laughed out loud when I read these. And the actual edit of the ad, too.

    • megamod, on 03/17/2008, -9/+1yeah it took me a while to "see" what he did there. I had to think twice to "see" the humor in it. it's almost as if their taunting their target base.

      • ChoiceMad, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1Was April Tuesday's mom hot back then? (yes, i know it's m-o-r-n, but it looks like m-o-m)

            I can't possibly see anything possible with that unless maybe you were female.
      • supermanred, on 03/17/2008, -13/+2Maybe they are on OS X which has text to speech built in? Not everyone uses Windows.
        • nmnnotmyname, on 03/17/2008, -4/+2Nobody cares about how much Windows sucks.
        • RomieZ, on 03/17/2008, -3/+17You're a dick for not knowing that windows has a Narrator, Magnifier, and High Contrast settings.
        • PueSi, on 03/17/2008, -3/+2Vista also has voice recognition, beta that OS X!
        • Murdats, on 03/17/2008, -1/+4uh, windows has had tts for ages, aswell as other accesability tools
          ever heard of 'microsoft sam'?
        • itsthebrod, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1Weird how all the adaptive technology computers at my school at Windows since that's the platform adaptive technology software is built for.
        • nmnnotmyname, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1Everyone knows about Microsoft Sam and Narrator, however I do remember having trouble being able to use it with Firefox.
    • jeffsback2223, on 03/17/2008, -0/+3yes, its truly obscene.

        • jo3design, on 03/17/2008, -0/+3What?
        • nmnnotmyname, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1No, But i wasn't paying attention until i caught it on like the 3rd screen of text.
    • UltraDavid, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2That would get to digg's front page for sure.
    • leetdood, on 03/17/2008, -0/+18I'm deaf, I don't get it.
      • Daniel15, on 03/17/2008, -2/+8The video says they'd like to thank the deaf customers, whereas the audio says they'd like to thank the blind customers. That's probably why you don't get it ;)
      • Scrappy1850, on 03/17/2008, -5/+2TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS!
        • leetdood, on 03/17/2008, -0/+8I guess you missed the part where I said I was deaf.

    • insomniac8400, on 03/17/2008, -3/+11How is being blind the same as being jewish?
      • 2000, on 03/17/2008, -1/+1Zing! Finally someone who gets it!
        At least you won't get ten assholes telling you about how "confused" you are.
      • largepork, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1because we studied helen keller the same year we studied anne frank
    • Zalyster, on 03/17/2008, -3/+14What did Helen Keller do when she fell down the well?
      She screamed her hands off!
    • XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, on 03/17/2008, -2/+28Why couldn't Helen Keller drive?

      Because she was a woman.
    • damnitdaniel, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1how do you get Helen Keller to sut up?

      Make her wear mittens
  • theysayjump, on 03/17/2008, -7/+17Sorry to be the party-*****, but it's 'shopped.

    Just do a search on Google for Braille and you'll see what it really says.

    Clever though.

      • nmnnotmyname, on 03/17/2008, -2/+3Agreed, Man, That ***** is hard. MS Paint is even harder than Photoshop! The Line Drawing tool? It took me 4 days just to figure out how to work the damn thing. Don't even get me started on using different colors.

    • nmnnotmyname, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2Ahh, It must've been like this at one point... Funny.
  • noahgelman, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1like salt in a wound.....how r they suppose to read it on the computer anyways?
    • weeeezzll, on 03/17/2008, -0/+3they use screen readers...

      also blind people are not the only ones that might buy Braille products....
  • skinrock, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2Is it me, or has planetdan.net been on the front page a LOT today?
  • RobbieF, on 03/17/2008, -1/+38Legally Blind Geek here...
    Probably 99% of us blinks have a good sense of humor about our blindness. This kind of stuff doesn't offend us at all. It's rare, however, that we come across a joke or something we haven't "seen" before.

    To another question, above: Blind people have a couple options when it comes to reading text on screen. There are text-to-speech programs all over the place, that capture the screen and read it to us. Think Stephen Hawking.
    Another solution is called Refreshable Braille Display. They're very very expensive electronic / mechanical devices that capture a line of text on the screen, translate it and push up cells of pins, in the form of braille.
    The solution I use is just magnification. Screen magnification software is a dime-a-dozen anymore, so that's cool.

    The More You Know :)
    • nmnnotmyname, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1lol'd at the end.
      I actually kind of figured that most who are blind wouldn't be pissed off. Its usually people who are serious assholes that are (Meaning people who ruin the fun even though they are not at all effected by it.)
      • RobbieF, on 03/17/2008, -0/+3eh, it's just like any sub-section of the populous. I went to a college for the blind, and there were a few real twunts there, that hadn't "come to terms" with their condition or something, but most of us just had a good time.
    • Hoogs, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1So you can read text if it's big enough?
      • da_bradler, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1I'm not exactly an expert but i know a lot of people who are legally blind can still see a fair amount(basically uncorrectable vision is blind if it's bad enough). I don't think there are many blind people who see nothing at all.
        • RobbieF, on 03/17/2008, -0/+4Depends on if you talk to the US or WHO. In the US, legal blindness is anything worse than 20/200 in the better eye. I win the honor of qualifying for the Word Health Organization's idea of legal blindness. 20/400, less than 20" field of view in better eye (I only have one that works, right around 20/400/ 18")

          And yes, I can read print if it's big enough. 20 inch flat screen, 800x600, large fonts, my nose is about 4 inches from the monitor. Smells good, too because I just ate a mint.
    • HardSide, on 03/17/2008, -0/+6So you read and type better then half of the Digg users, and you are considered legally blind? Check please!
      • RobbieF, on 03/17/2008, -0/+3What's really fun is winning at billiards:)
    • NathaMan10101, on 03/18/2008, -0/+0But if your blind how the ***** do you check for spelling errors.or evan type!!!?!?!?
      • RobbieF, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1Most people who type correctly don't look at the keyboard.

        and I use a spellchecker just like you do:P
  • JimbobtheSalesm, on 03/17/2008, -4/+1ROFLMAO!
  • stackered, on 03/17/2008, -3/+1I always wonder why braille was created... why not just use normal letters? Is it that much harder? Anyway this picture, as evil as it is, made me actually LOL.
    • XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2wow
      • Hoogs, on 03/17/2008, -1/+1I think he means just have raised letters rather than dots. I've wondered that too.
        • itsthebrod, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1Because it wouldn't work? Letters are pretty complex shapes and when raised it'd be difficult to tell them apart -- especially letters with lots of inner curves like an e. How much do you think it would slow down a blind person while they felt the letter and tried to distinguish the lower-case "e" from "o" or "w" from "m"?
  • restlessdesign, on 03/17/2008, -0/+13I like to wave at people I don't know. It's dangerous to wave to someone you don't know cause...what if they don't have a hand? They'll think you're cocky. "Look what I got *****! This thing is useful. I'm gonna go pick something up!"

  • MyDiggIsBig, on 03/17/2008, -3/+1what the hell.. why am i the only one who doesn't get this. can someone please explain
    • notalent420, on 03/17/2008, -1/+2Braille is used for blind people. It uses a series of bumps on a surface to form words.
      It's used in the same way that sign language is used for deaf people.
      • MyDiggIsBig, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1ooh, didn't know that was the name . thanks

  • B1gB3nh69, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1the website (braillebookstore.com) is soooooooooo ugly
    • fogster, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1I'm thinking it was meant for easy navigation by the blind. (e.g., via screen-readers and the like.)

      Although that does beg the question of why they used images for navigation...
  • Stone420, on 03/17/2008, -2/+1I Didnt see that comming
  • eLp619, on 03/17/2008, -1/+4I think the guy who made Braille a bunch of dots rather then just embossing the letters is a real jerk.
  • catfart, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1I know blind people and they indeed use the word "see" as equivalent to "feel" or "touch". So the joke (if real) is not a big deal.
  • dumbrit, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1Funny joke, but why isn't the word 'Braille' bolded in the green domain name? It should be, which makes me think its 'shopped
  • Macaboros, on 03/17/2008, -1/+0In an attempt to be more accurate, google's smart advertising got this instead:
