What made you think that the picture of the person in a helmet had a disability, Greg?

Are you homo-diso-bility-oh? Or something?

Isn't it obvious? And obvious by the way it was intended?

Looks like a person, wearing a helmet, smiling (not very good teeth) to me. Who would consider this picture of being one with a DISABILITY?

I think there are plenty of Christmas Grinchs out this year- most of the pp who say have a nice day in stores, have to say it and are most likely not having a nice day themselves- I make it a point to be nice to all customer service pp now, they have to put up with a lot from grumpy customers and the pay is not so great.

my daughter puts things under the CHristmas tree in stores...I have in the past... but she knows someone who helps behind the senes with that charity drive... and every gift has to be unwrapped and rewrapped.. because they have found...

yes even dead animals in boxes....

we do have a lot of sickness out there....we have lost our way.....

my grandsons are wonderful I am so proud of all of them likewise you with your son agnes.. they are what we make them....after all...

lets hope they are the majority of their generation....

we have enough ugly bastards as it is.,..

and before I get a lecture that goes for both sexes...

It's a picture of Zach Gregory.

"Zach is profoundly deaf, has poor vision and is cognitively delayed. Experts estimate his behavior is similar to that of a 1- or 2-year-old baby, which means he’s restless and rough without intent to harm anyone. He’s never spoken, but he understands a couple of words in sign language. His family tried to teach him more signs, but it didn’t take."

Zach, and his family.

"Zach Gregory is as pale as the milk he’s just knocked over with his elbow. His dad is trying to wipe the spill off the scarred wooden dining table with one hand, while using his other to stop his son from gouging himself in the face. There’s a semi-perpetual big pinkish-red circle dead center in the 18-year-old’s forehead, where he smacks himself whenever he gets the chance.

"Lee Gregory has finished feeding his son and in a few minutes, he will put Zach’s plastic helmet and the arm guards back on, then guide his son downstairs and change his diaper. It’s almost bedtime and though it will take Zach a few minutes to wind down, he’ll soon drift off, the house enveloped in brief calm before the next day starts very early with wrestling Zach into clean clothes so he can be picked up for school."

A casual observer, i would think.

Were they to miss the obvious clues, the way in which the image was used gives certainty.

I'm wondering what you are are missing?

I don't know why, but I am still constantly amazed at the number of service workers that don't wish you a Merry Christmas ............. and only a week to go until christmas

I make it a point to wish every single one of my customers and anyone else I deal with during the course of my work, a Merry Christmas. If I don't see them I send them an SMS, an ecard or a real card.

The problem in Australia is that most people have no idea what customer service is.
