ideas for the blind

right, it has been brought to my attention by Rawrk that i have become far too soft, even going as far as signing off with much love at the end of my last post. this in mind, i have decided to go completely the other way and be far too harsh.

so, it seems to me that the blind have had far to easy since my post on Clarkson and the blind (sounds like a kids book ay?) so i think a general attack on some of the daft ideas to help them that have been made recently.

i was in Waterstones the other day and saw 'Teach yourself Brail', i thought this looked like an interesting read, ironic too. so i had a look inside, only to find that the book was written in brail!
how on earth are they supposed to learn?
i took this book to the person on the til and asked him who's stupid idea this book was. he looked at me as if I was a complete idiot and replied 'well mate, if it was typed, the blind people couldn't read it'.

I beg your pardon!?

what is the use in a book for the blind at all then!?
clearly if you're not blind it would be far easier simply to read normally than go for brail,
i very much doubt there are books written exclusively in brail, or at least that's what they want you to believe.

following this idea, i decided to go on Dragons Den with my idea, Blind TV.
i googled it to make sure i wasn't stealing somebody elses idea, and it only bloody exists!
a TV for the blind!
clearly a radio, sold for the price of a TV, but how is the blind person going to prove it?

now, i know that the blind have been a target twice now, but i can assure you i have no problem with them.




If you're a blind man who's read my blog and disagrees with anything
i've said, you're faking it!
