    Everyone's too busy typing up their pompous, hubristic essays about how they're leaving "for the good of the board"....


    EDIT: Clearly your penis is at fault.

    I wonder if there's a way to automate a response to those posts, possibly cutting them off half way through.


    "You know TiB, we've had some good times, but, sadly, this will be my last post. *cue sombre trumpet music* A lot of you are great people and I've enjoyed my time here, but lately I just really feel like the overall tone of the board has-"

    Did some stuff get deleted? People are chatting about the African interpreter dude and suddenly there are reaction posts about the thread derailing.

    No you can continue to talk African fake interpreting. As is far too common, Parker thought he should insert his penis where it didn't belong.

    About this sign language guy, I can't figure out what actually happened (and I've spent over several minutes researching it). Was he a fake as in he doesn't know sign language and was just doing the Macarena or something? Or was he just really bad at it? There's an article on CNN about how he's defending his work and claims he's a professional, but then others say he was just signing complete nonsense.

    What's even worse is that I feel like there's the perfect joke floating around somewhere in the ether about this, but I just can't piece it together.

    He was signing in Bushman click language and no one understood him.

    That's what makes it epically hilarious - it's all of those things!
    - he apparently does NOT know correct sign language, either American Sign Language or South African Sign Language. He was called out at a previous event where he botched it and during this recent event via Twitter.
    - the agency that "provided" him either: a)hires people without being able to know if they know sign language, b)is a complete sham of a business, c) or possibly both!
    - It's literally like if I got up there and tried to sign. I don't know sign language. Except, I would not be allowed to stand within 3 feet of the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES with the weakest of credentials.
    - And, of course, another difference being HE'S CRAZY! Not like strange, but like honest-to-goodness hears voices in his head and takes medication.

    If this EXACT event happened on a show like West Wing or 24 that features the POTUS, it would be ripped apart for being so ridiculously unbelievable. Again, except it really happened. The Onion could repost one of the actual news stories and it would be applauded as a hilarious parody.

    From what I hear, it might be worth it.

    EDIT: Judging from reps, apparently I've missed something...unsettling.

    Kind of depends on your inclinations. But we don't judge here. Mock perhaps, but no judging.

    I've completely missed this story, but this sounds hysterical.

    This one explains why it's "obvious" that he's faking, including that he doesn't move his lips like most signers do.



    For the life of me, I cannot figure out why this isn't being mocked more. Is it because people don't want to offend the deaf? Because, I understand that what this guy did is offensive to the deaf. But, when Miley Cyrus was twerking or Ted Danson appeared in blackface, those things were offensive, but were still lampooned.
