Commercials with no descriptions

These commercials continue to exist and for me as a blind person they are simply an irritant that makes me truly disappointed and unhappy.

It is so very annoying to me whenever a commercial is displayed on the TV screen and the announcer says, "for further information call the number on your screen."

This effectively is a deterrent for a blind person because we cannot read the number on our screen. In addition, there are many seniors who are unable to do the same because they are either not fast enough to copy down the number or they, too, are unable to see the number on the screen.

There are other times when a commercial may contain actions with no sound to match the action and I say to this then, what am I supposed to infer from this?

I can only wish that there are producers out there who are paying attention and in the near future this will change. I would hasten to add that things have improved and continue to improve but at a very slow rate.

This is a personal message from author Donna Jodhan
"Each time we raise our voice at someone else we are engaging in bullying! Each time we raise our hands to slap or punch someone else we are also engaging in bullying and each time we engage in actions to either manipulate or force someone else to do what we want we are also engaging in bullying!

There is no room in this world for bullying and each day we fail to take action against bullying it is another day that we allow others to bully us and our kids. Our heroes and role models are the ones who have made us proud; those brave young men and women who gave their lives for us in past wars and those who continue to do so. They are not the ones who choose to be racists and those who believe that their bad behaviour in public is acceptable.

I write and record audio mysteries that are being used at such events as murder mystery evenings as well as at public awareness and team building events. I promote understanding, tolerance, and problem solving and my audio mysteries continue to be broadcasted around the world and you can listen to them anywhere! On the plane or train! In the car or right there in your home! On your i device or computer!

Please join my campaign against bullying (CAB) by supporting my efforts to keep on writing and recording!
If you truly care then you will certainly dare!"
