So, not that I really expect anyone to care, however last week was a monumental week in the deaf community.

MTV showed the first ever deaf artist music video (which while I don't particularly find very good, he definitely fits the pop segment bullshit that MTV goes for) he got to number #38/100.
Then for the first time ever, the entire Superbowl broadcast was captioned. Including the commercials and everything, so that was also pretty cool.

So just out of curiosity, are you saying that the artist or maker of the music video is deaf? Or that the video included captions or some other modification for the deaf?

Also, I'm kind of surprised to hear this is the first Super Bowl to be closed captioned.

The artist is deaf, during the song, he is signing.

Usually, the game is captioned but the commercials usually aren't.

Actually, he IS deaf. Like I said, while the music doesn't appeal to me. He is the first deaf musician that has been featured on MTV. Despite that, he is even making it to the top 40. This is something that SHOULD be respected, IMO.

WTF! I thought is was a joke at first, that's crazy! He actually keeps a tune pretty good considering!
 
While technically he is hard of hearing, his hearing is degraded enough that he would be considered deaf. He is currently being touted as an accomplishment for the deaf community. I think it's pretty cool personally.
