The true winners are PepsiCo/EnAble and National Association of the Deaf (NAD), for establishing successful collaboration relationship to produce this awesome commercial!

Imagine without NAD’s input, will this commercial ever happen? Perhaps not.

It is time for us to send our thanks to PepsiCo/EnAble and NAD. Also, please consider joining NAD as a member. That will make NAD stronger and allows NAD to create more exciting opportunities to make us visible!

Please read CNN’s excellent report about Super Bowl Advertisements, and “Bob’s House” is selected with other nine commercials!

CNN’s Report

CNN reported, “In addition to advertising soft-drinks and potato chips, Pepsi’s hope is to use the Super Bowl as a platform to create awareness of issues concerning the American deaf community.”

Thank you Amy and everyone involved in this project. It means a lot to us.

I am so thankful to see this happen, finally! This commercial will bring awareness for ASL to millions of people! It’s very brief, but it’s like having a foot in the door. Super Bowl is considered as an American culture. Now Deaf culture is being shown!

The next step is of course, for our Deaf babies and children. I really liked your Greatest Irony video and I hope it reaches millions of parents who just found out that their baby/ child is deaf. Kudos to you and all others who are supporting this movement!

Thank you, dear Amy, for delivering a beautiful
message. Unity! I wish I could find a key that shows
a symbol of “triangle” — Pepsico, NAD, and the
Deaf Community!

Merci bcp.!

Vive Pepsico!
Vive NAD!
Vive Deaf Community!

I join Jean’s comment to say:

VIVA PEPSI!
VIVA NAD!
VIVA DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING COMMUNITY!

Kudos to Pepsi and NAD for their best effort to make this happen to air “Bob’s House” forthcoming Sunday during Super Bowl game. The story cherished our lives to remember and we thanked our deaf/hard of hearing descendents, who brought the great folklore. Silent Applause!!!

Thank you, Amy for your great effort to share with us.

Enjoy your weekend at DeafRead conference. Take care!

Thank you so much, Amy. I enjoyed so much. I already wrote a thank-you note to Pepsi and I am going to join NAD! When I was in high school, I was a president of JR. NAD, but it was not much at that time, and I didn’t have much experience.

Have a blast at the Deafread conference!

Yes I agreed with you all the way. Can you imagine that about BILLION viewers on Earth will begin to realize that the Deaf people using their beautiful ASL are just normal human beings. AGBELL’s vicious work was to keep the visibility of ASL away from a BILLION viewers.

For AGBELL members, please move your heads out from the sands to face the painful TRUTH of AGBELL’s many terrible crimes had been repeatedly commited against Deaf humankind. For example, lingusitic genocide, erasing Deaf history, sterilization against Deaf children, ruining the education and esteem of Deaf people for many generations, treating ASL signers as subhumans or second-class citizens and even distorting the true language of ASL by putting ASL in the status of communication tools sharing with other artificial communications. Do you know that Karl Marx, Adolf Hitler and Alexander Graham Bell have in common? They are firmly believers in Social Darwinism that led to breed many nationalisms, new master races, new master language, causing terrible wars that killed over 65 million civilians and had executed over 35 million dissidents. Please awake up !!!!!!!!
