The more people that write for a living write articles like this, the more people will begin to understand the ridicule those with disabilities often endure at the hands of mainstream society in common parlance. I hope an article like this can appear in Parade Magazine soon where a million people can read it. Thank you, Mr. Siegel.

As I have got also personal experience with intellectual disability of a person very close to me I'm very sad when I hear jokes about this topic. I think that media don't realize their role and they are usually insensitive. In my opinion, the worst situation is in some teenage comedies. However, I also believe that there will be always people willing to help them fight back. Regards, Lorne I absolutely agree with this post.
