Normally this is a simple comedy, but CBS has allowed this show a spot where they have chosen to spend a great deal of their show making fun of people with Epilepsy. I realize that alot of people will think that I am being too sensitive, but spreading misunderstandings about a disability and bringing it up over and over again is a bit much. I honestly cannot tell you how many times they mentioned the comment about people with epilepsy swallowing their tongues (by the way this is physically impossible). I also realize that this is not the first t.v. show to do this. At some point their needs to be someone to say that it is enough. I am asking people to boycott this program until an apology is given.

I agree with you and not, you are not too sensitive!! What we should do is start a program where we all write letters and send them to CBS...let them know how they are belittleing the disabled. This HAS got to stop!!!

I have a same feeling.
I am a victim of harrestment at work because of my disabilities.
But my employer really didn't care about that.
When I filed a complaint to EECO and DEFH, they didn't care either.
Why government employees never help people from the United States? They thought that they are the boss of the people. They never think that they get their salaries from the people tax money.

Although I am a very liberal person sexually, I am also disabled and I still have enough character to know that it is not entertaining or one bit funny to think that the youth who are watching this show are being given the message that it is "Ok" to make fun of the disabled and to exploit women, their intelligence and wisdom.

First of all, I find the show repulsive! Second, as a person with Epilepsy, I find not a damn thing funny about the disease. Maybe these idiots need to go through a gandmal siezure and they will never make another stupid joke about it.
Personally, I find nothing humorous about making fun of any disability. There is always someone suffering and have a laugh off of their suffering is major BS!
