"Stupid Deaf People"....?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us I started to wonder about it after seeing Paotie’s “Stupid Deaf People” cartoon graphic of Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes cartoon – love it!) p*ssing on the words “Stupid Deaf People.” With curiousity getting the best of me I did a quick Google search using the phrase “Stupid Deaf People” just to see how people use that phrase under various context. Though people will say such a thing for cruelty purpose as well without even thinking considering the vast sea of incompetent people out there we have nowadays.

In Gallypost:
“Stupid Deaf People.”


NZMusic.com:
“I heard on the radio that QOTSA had a concert to promote their album 'Songs For The Deaf' and a crowd of deaf people came to the show thinking it was for deaf people & that they'll be doing sign language to the music. But they were wrong, they left and gave the bouncers the finger. I thought it was quite funny, stupid deaf people haha.”


Civilization Fanatics’:
“I think there is a whole deaf culture that does not view deafness as a disability. To each their own, I guess. Well, that is natural. It would be strange if there were no stupid deaf people.”


Alldeaf.com:
“Once I was with my girlfriend and someone saw us signing, people often assume I am deaf because I dont speak while signing i just mouth the words, I have overheard people say many things such as "f**king deaf people they're like mexicans you just wish you could speak spanish so you know that they are talking about you, at least they cant hear me hahaha stupid deaf people"


Colboard.com:
“Gallaudet University study is completely inaccurate and AesKnight claims he has proven it. I never went to Gallaudet or even high school. Most Deaf do not. But that possibly is just being lazy and stupid deaf people like AegisKnight, Dexter Sinister and Dark_Sage frequently point out.”


Killoggs.com:
“In the deaf tongue of the cretins of Wessex county: mung gyahalfa abeaaag guh guh guh-fah - a simple request for immoral sodomy, appears to the Deaf Arab Cameltrader as the gravest of insults, and has resulted in many pissy exchanges between stupid deaf people.”


Tallahassee.com forum:
“There is a fire station across the street from the Circle K and those folks there get calls in the middle of the night, and their sleep is valuable, they don’t need stupid deaf people blasting their stereos.”


Firehouse.com forum:
“My parents are deaf and I can sign.. If there is one thing that deaf people hate its what someone here already mentioned... just because they are deaf doesnt immediately imply retarded or dumb. Granted there are some stupid deaf people as there are with hearing people its hard for most to read lips if they are raised completely with other deaf children….”


DeafDC.com:
" Now, I didn’t know Tara. I don’t know the area she was walking in when the tragedy occured. But I certainly am not going to be part of the rallying cry that says, ‘You hear about Tara McAvoy? You stupid deaf people! Don’t you know not to walk on the tracks and to use your pager safely!?' "


Of course, we then have the phrase "stupid deafies" which is probably just as pointless as "stupid hearies." Yet the word "stupid" is a favorite word used more than 101,000,000 times over the internet versus "stoopid" (which I like personally) that is mentioned over 1,900,000 times. But the all time favorite "stupid" quote? Why, it would be the famous Forest Gump quote - "Stupid is as stupid does."

Feeling stoopid? Here is a link to a list of really stoopid quotes.
