Transcontinental Disability Choir: We're not looking for Pity: The Trouble With Poster Children

Social Commentary post by Anna_Palindrome on December 4, 2009 - 8:18am; tagged disability, disability rights, stereotypes, Transcontinental Disability Choir, why pop culture matters.
I am just so proud that the Academy Awards gave the man who said "if you don’t want to be pitied for being a cripple in a wheelchair, don’t come out of the house" a humanitarian award for being so good and giving to those wretched disabled children! I do hope that everyone gives money to a man who said "You might as well put a gun in your mouth" after you find out you have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (that's ALS- Lou Gehrig's Disease). And heaven knows that money goes to really important stuff - like a CURE! - because things like wheelchairs and accessible transportation and helping families get their homes renovated to be fully accessible would be a total waste of that money, right? Why help people with disabilities now when in the future, they may have a CURE!
