Anyone seen disabled comic Josh Blue lately? Or Marlee Matlin? Anyone see anyone with a disability anywhere on television lately? Ok, there is a one legged girl on Survivor, but that's about it. We are here. We are out there. There are millions of us. If you watch TV and don't get out much, you'd think we didn't exist.
What's wrong with us? Do we have cuties? Are we vampires? Oh, I forgot, vampires can actually get on television. They're more popular than thong underwear.
Most Americans know almost nothing about muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, or multiple sclerosis. I would think people would be curious about these conditions, but TV producers sure don't think they are. If you want more reality, nothing is more real than living with the drama and comedy (yes,comedy). That of course brings us back to Josh Blue. To almost quote a song,"Where have you gone Josh Blue, a lonely nation turns it eyes to you, woo woo woo."
