Anyone Here An Talented Lip Reader? |
|
I knew this wonderful woman when I worked at Costco throughout college that was going to Gaulludet University. She was deaf but had an absolute uncanny talent at reading lips. I think with this semi scandal is there anyone here who has this sort of talent to decifer what Kantor actually says?
Just curious, because sometimes it takes someone who is deaf to the world to understand what is really happening.

I used to manage a CBRF and one of my residents had been in a horrible accident that left her paralyzed and unable to make any sounds. She was (still is) one of the wittiest women I know (called herself the parapaleic that lip synchs). Anyway over the years of working with her I became pretty damn good at it. Sometimes it was obvious what she was saying, like when her mother made me drag her to a faith healing event and everytime one of the congregants would come near her she would mouth "Fuck you you bible thumper", which I would translate to "She says thank you very much", and other times it was difficult and frustrating more so for her than for me. As with any skill, it has grown rusty with disuse, so I can't be of any help, but thank you for making me think about my old friend, I think I'll go visit and get her take on clusterfuck '08! :hi:

3. It doesn't need a forensic lip reader |
|
just a few inexpensive q-tips are more than sufficient.
He did not say what was in the doctored video. I am an Obama supporter but this is outrageous trying to smear a man with doctored footage.
