Sorry to resort to ad hominen bitchiness, but I think I need to note this. Having watched I’m Spazticus last night, this blog entry seems all the more ironic. The article I cite in it is by one of the actors in the show. In it he berates others for using disability a a ‘lifestyle choice’, but hypocritically exaggerates his own condition. On the evidence from last nights show, he can talk clearly yet insists on using a lightwriter, and can walk much better than I can but insists on using a chair. That alone I wouldn’t mind, but the fact he is so prejudiced against people he sees as pretending to be disabled, and then parades himself on channel four as a paragon of disability culture, really is hypocrisy beyond the pale. The rest of the show I did not have a problem with – infact I found it quite funny – I just cant abide either hypocrisy or prejudice.
