i think it is arrogant for healthy people to assume that it would objectify the disabled.

lordy did u consider that the disabled ppl may do significantly better in this sort of competition against healthy ppl who are not accustomed to being blindfolded, etc.???

everyone assumes its gonna be a lets laff at the gimps reality sho.

but if the disabled regularly triumphed over the abled, the show would rock.

unfortunatetly the producers were probably hoping to objectify the disabled and work millions of wacky sound bytes from their show... if the disabled always won they would probably cancel the show.

someone needs to make a made-4-tv action --> olympians vs. special olympians (i would pay $ to see that!!) instead of segregating the olympics, put the special action in between figure skating and archery.
