Update:
Some deaf people were NOT laughing about how Tom Neville shows of how dumb and ignorant a deaf person is with the pager. While it's a funny show (at the first few times you watch it), it will later dawn on you of just how serious it can be to show how some deaf people take their sidekick pagers too seriously.
In one part of the movie, it shows a deaf person driving and then forgetting to drive while talking on the pager. Seriously to say, I have been a passenger in REAL LIFE where I've had deaf friends who let go of the wheel and talk on the damn pager. In both cases, I've had to grab the wheel, then grab their pager out of their hands and scream "DRIVE THE DAMN CAR! I'LL TEXT WHOEVER IT DAMN IS ON!". Of course, I demanded to be let out and walked/took the transportation where I wanted to go. And both times, both of the individuals did end up in a car accident in real life.
Texting your pager and driving your car do not work together! You can get killed!! Let me say that SERIOUSLY!
Go ahead, view this movie:

Personal comments: I want to remind deaf audiences that Tom Neville is not a lawyer and what is shown in the movie isn't real. But it illistrates of just how stupid we can be with those pagers.
So, please.. If you got a sidekick pager, use it in a responsible way!! DO NOT TEXT AND DRIVE! (yes, you will get pulled over and arrested for it! Charges are the same as DUI!).
Last thing: I have to give personal credit to Tom Neville! While it's funny movie, I was laughing how he looked so drag queenish! (it would have helped if he added some breasts!).
I just thought I would add these comments because of the e-mails that I got about the movie.
I hope Tom Neville goes back to making about the ASLEXPO and the BUG.
Semper FI.

Tom Neville did a wonderful job on that Video. I sure wish he was my lawyer. Grins.
But of course, I had to laugh also. That guy made a great lawyer commercial parody, and he included a few sight gags. Probably the most hilarious one in that video directory is the aslexpo_parking.wmv file. In that one, you have to see it. It's one big visual gag.
Heck, maybe you and I can do something like this sometime? I've already written a number of things down over the last few years.
I've brought down the house in class, but it's not often. If I do, the timing and environment has to be just right.
