The Blind and Deaf Community Are A Bunch Of Babies


Whoa, wait until I finish explaining why before you get your pigtails in a twist. Abigail Breslin, the 13 year-old-actress from "Little Miss Sunshine" and Zombieland, has been cast to play Helen Keller in the Broadway production of "Miracle Worker". The blind and deaf community are getting all upset and shit because the producers decided not to cast a blind or deaf actor for the part.

Sharon Jensen, executive director of the Alliance for Inclusion in the Arts, (sic) said in an interview late Wednesday that her organization strongly opposed a decision by the producers to not audition actresses for the part who shared Helen’s disabilities. “We do not think it’s O.K. for reputable producers to cast this lead role without seriously considering an actress from our community”.

I'm doing the jerk off motion right now because the members of the blind and deaf community that are bitching are being a bunch of fucking babies. The economy sucks lady and why the fuck won't the producers want to cast a recognizable and critically acclaimed actor in their play? Being all Hollywood and important, I'm actually "in the know" about this subject and the simple fact is that it's easier to get investors if there is a "name" attached to a project. This isn't a fucking charity, it's business and it makes sense for them to cast an Oscar-nominated actor. I agree that they should have seriously consideration should have gone to a blind or deaf actor but who's to say they didn't? Fucking, quit whining and making up shit, Sharon because it makes you sound like a baby. If Abigail won that part fair and square, then get over it and tell your blind and deaf actors to do some porn or something so they can become more of a "name". I'm sorry the producers of this play aren't fucking Bill Gates and can afford to cast whomever they want and shit money all at the same time but that's life and if life were fair, then I would have gotten birthday and Christmas presents past the age of five. Sack up because it ain't going to get any easier.
