That is WRONG!! There are alot of deaf people who have hearing aids but some of them want cochlear impalnt. That's their decision. But when you showed them about the boy from the show and it is not his decision. It will be totally different because they think they can do it just like the character kid. You will be very sorry and you never know if people will SUE you about it. It is not right to do that and Cochlear Implant is very dangerous. If I were you, I would stop this from the beginning when you brought up the kid who has cochlear implant. All I want to say, don't do it before it goes out of hand and becomes a big problem!! I have a question: Is it true that the boy who has cochlear implant from the show has it in real life??????I have a question: is it true that there's a point in this e-mail? Reading it several times, I realized there were several proto-points, but that none of them are developed well enough to be considered a real point. It's confusing.
Meanwhile, Lisa, I've forwarded your concerns to the Department of Giving Fucked Up Social Agendas Airtime, and they assure me they'll be putting lots of deaf people on the show who will be vigorously signing their protests about cochlear implants. They assure me they are Very Sorry about what happened, and promise to clear all future storylines with you before making any sort of final decisions about them, okay?
By the way, the Warner legal team is just salivating over the prospects here..
