[nfb-talk] Fw: Blind Ref

[Joshua Lester]

Good grief!
And you wonder why Letterman and Linno have more viewers!
They know better than to do that!
Blessings, Joshua

Last week on Jimmy Kimmel's late night talk show on ABC, he aired a skit
he did with Will Smith, a trailer for a nonexistent movie BLIND REF,
about someone (played by Smith) who's blind trying to be a pro basketball
referee.

It was the shtick you'd expect - miscalling shots, facing away from the
players, talking to people after they've walked away, and yes, the
face-groping thing.  OK, it parodied feel-good movies' triumphant ending,
having an emergency come up and him being the only NBA ref available, but
still ...

You may want to see if the NFB or a similar group protested to ABC.
(Nothing was in the newspaper.  I wonder if he'll apologize tonight.)
