Hilarious, Deb! I’m so glad you shared! (Even if I’m brunette, short, and too old for this dude’s reqs.)

Well, the first line of this suggests something shifty to me, since one of my major clients is a subtitling company, and there are SDH (Some Difficulty Hearing) versions of Seinfeld out there already. I’m pretty sure there’s All in the Family out there too.

Here’s a website with all the transcribed Seinfeld scripts in one handy place — and all had for free with about 10 seconds of googling!

I know a few drag queens who fit this ad…mostly.

I would wear a Wookie costume for that job. Except that it seems he is wanting someone with a slightly different look. That’s too bad. Maybe a tall, blonde chick could just turn on the subtitle function on his DVD player.

I wasn’t sure if I should post this ad or not because I know several members of this community are hard of hearing, but then I figured after you read the last line of the ad you’d get it.

Misty, I am hard of hearing and have deaf folks in my family, so I thought the same thing. Then I got to that last part. (I’m hoping the guy was kidding, but yeah wow.)

I was thisclose to getting offended since my daughter is deaf and I couldn’t figure out why anyone would laugh at a hearing impaired person. And then I got to the end… wow. Words escape me, too!

Ok, so I’m tall, female, 25, and live 45 minutes from Brooklyn. I’m not blond, but darnnit, I can get some hair dye. Nevermind the fact that I already have most episodes of Seinfeld memorized….

Boy that dude watches a lot of TV. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? Say what?

By: Cindy

$30 an hour, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week… that’s $240 a day. That comes out to $1200 a week, or $4800 a month. Okay, and this guy is on disability? That’s not even touching the sexist load of … well you know LOL. I am starting to think I am in the wrong profession!! (cough)

Crap, I’m perfect for the “job” except I’m too short!

By: Amy

Amy — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 02:08:30 +0000

I’m totally qualified! Uh… do they make 8″ stilettos? And due to a fight with a bleaching kit I’m more yellow than blonde… ah nuts.

Crap. I qualify except I’m too old. OOps, I mean, that ad is revolting! *ahem*

I was compassionately hooked… until the last sentence. Then I just roared. Oh, my!

How can you read along from a paper and still see the TV screen. I would apply if I was younger, but first he would have to explain to me how he would plan to do that.

By the way (just in case anyone here is playing trivial pursuit for the hearing impaired or anything), I can testify that these shows aren’t captioned on the dvds. But, um, yeah.

I was about to get mad at you for a minute, Deb. I still have a few more weeks of being 28…. Then I saw he’s only looking for TALL blondes…. Pfft.

Damn, I could use $30/hour to pretend to write while really just using a close captioning system. Sadly I’m not quite…uh….feminine. Damn it all. heh
