If we all deafies learn to read lips without sign language and we will misunderstand a lot of lip reading communication only. For example: Window and raincoat look almost same on read lips. Go looking at your mirror to say "window", then " raincoat" without voice. See what I mean. I prefer total communication that means with sign language, not without sign language to prevent a lot of misunderstand. I grew up in hearing environment and was told not to sign language but used my voice and lip-reading only from my deaf school during late 50's to my hearing parents. When I accident signed language and I got punishment from my deaf school by demerit and I grew up ashamed using sign language. Finally I overcame the ashamed of using sign language. But once a while I still felt ashamed feeling back and I ignored this flashback to continue using sign language. I misunderstood a lot from lip-reading only as my primary communication and it was awful! I am sooooo glad the world out there change and educated about the sign language and deaf world. Whew. I do not want to go back to the same bad experience again in the future. Really shame that they try to remove sign language from deaf’s communication.

AGB is just "ONE" method of the many methods that people use to educate deaf children. AGB needs to realize they are not the only way and that it should be a big step forward for the deaf community that our culture is being acknowledge. Thank you Pepsi!

It had to do with positive joke about hearing and deaf world. The ASl is part of many many lanugages that used in usa. AGB is only one against ASL. t hat is plain dumb. this pespi deaf commerical had nothing to with AGB compliant. It had to do with positive joke about hearing and deaf world.

Why can't people just accept us for who we are, instead of smearing the wonderful Pepsi campaign? IT is one commercial that has been written, produced and acted by Pepsico staff. Fellow alumni from my NTID days and I am proud to see Darren and other Deafies together showing the world a popular Deaf Joke during the pregame show. But AGB had to write a spoiler to Pepsi Co. Shame on them for dredging up history again... NO smiles to AGB on this at all. Big smiles to the NAD advocating for the community, Pepsico and the wonderful team that made this commercial possible. Great efforts!! Lets keep rolling our sleeves for positive advocacy through media.
