An unofficial video for Mickey Avalon (Ft. Dirt Nasty and Andre Legacy)’s 2006 NSFW but hilarious trash hit ‘My Dick’ composed entirely of excerpts from ‘Signing Naturally’ ( a sign language learning video from the 1990s).
He was just doing funny ‘stuff’ with his hands.
He’s in so much trouble.
Most puzzlingly, the structure of his hand and body movements didn’t seem to change no matter what the speaker was saying.
And, in one of the most bizarre Deaf stories of recent years, it appears that there really was something wrong – because the interpreter was a fake.
Which meant that on a day when the world saluted a man who fought oppression, a guy stood on stage and effectively oppressed another minority – Deaf people, by making a mockery of our language.
Fairly outrageous, in fairness.
