[Nfbmo] Blind people are not "funny"

[Randy Carmack]

Thanks for the update, I have made the following comment on the video
site and will encourage all of my facebook friends to do the same,
"DISLIKE, This is not a real blind person, it is an actress pretending
to be blind.  I find this to be very distasteful and offensive to all
blind people."

Thanks,
Randy Carmack
