VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: #WhopperSign - Burger King's finally speaks, by signing, for American Sign Language Day near Gallaudet University campus.
WASHINGTON DC -- Burger King asks fans to come up with a Whopper sign by Tim Nudd. The days when he would pop up, unannounced, in your bed in the morning, Burger King's King character has never actually spoken a single word, preferring to let his creepily silent visage speak for him. But now, to celebrate National American Sign Language Day, the King is speaking up by signing.
And he's asking BK fans to come up with an official sign for the Whopper sandwich. #WhopperSign.
"The Burger King brand is built not only on including everyone, but celebrating everyone," Fernando Machado, the fast-food chain's svp of global brand management, said in a statement. "National ASL Day felt like a perfect opportunity for the King to extend our brand mantra and engage with the ASL community on such a great day."
It also has the King interpreting a recent TV spot in ASL, as you can see below.
BK has also created an ASL version of its logo, and is making a scholarship donation benefiting students who are dedicating their studies to ASL language and interpretations. SOURCE

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf Taiwanese dancer Lin Ching Lan proves naysayers wrong - SK-II #changedestiny stories.
TAIPEI -- Lin Ching Lan is founder of Taiwan’s first troupe for Deaf dancers. Her story is beautiful. She was born with a hearing impairment, but she has not let that control her life. Her goal was to be a dancer…she just wanted to dance!
Schools and Teachers told her she would never dance because she couldn’t hear the music but…she can feel the music. We can use her as an example for when people tell us we can't do something…you can prove them wrong, if you work at it!
In the 1970s, SK2 scientists began a fervent quest to uncover a skincare ingredient that would make beautiful skin a reality for every woman.
Across land and sea, they sought for the answer. Despite researching a myriad of possibilities, the secret they were looking for long eluded them.
It was only by happenstance that the scientists eventually found themselves in a simple sake brewery where they chanced upon the soft and youthful hands of aged sake brewers. The breath-taking sight was the inspiration of the skincare miracle they would eventually uncover – a destiny of beauty was finally within reach. Source

VIDEO [CC] Exclusive interview with the NFL's Derrick Coleman of the Seattle Seahawks.
(CBS News) - A television commercial starring Seattle Seahawk’s fullback Derrick Coleman is the latest Internet sensation. Coleman is the only athlete in NFL history to play offense, despite the fact he is legally Deaf.
Now, he’s getting ready to break one more barrier - the Super Bowl.
When the Seahawks take on the San Francisco 49ers, no one will be paying better attention than Coleman. “I have to be aware,” he told CBS News’ Bill Whitaker. “I have to be focused more than everybody else.”
Diagnosed with profound hearing loss, Coleman relies on lip-reading and his own unique way of communicating with the quarterback.
"He knows to look at me if he makes an audible at the line of scrimmage,” said Coleman. “He knows just tell everybody and just turn back at me one more time and he'll tell me the play." It's the way he's always played the game.
When the world tells you "no", you have two options: You can roll over and quit or you can trust your power. Derrick Coleman, running back for the Seattle Seahawks, trusted the power within.
Although he's Deaf, he never let adversity stand in his way, on his road to the NFL. Share to inspire others to trust their power within and achieve their dreams. #TrustYourPower.
He told Whitaker that he’s “capable of doing what everybody else can do,” despite his hearing loss. “You can't use your problem as an excuse,” he said. “Because you use an excuse, you're not going to get to your dream. “
He was taught that philosophy at an early age. To really know Coleman’s story you have to meet the parents, his mother, May Hamlin and father, Derrick Coleman, Sr. "You feel that uncertainty, that fear as a fear as a parent, you know, that, is my child going to be OK," said Coleman, Sr.. His mother told Whitaker that Coleman was “definitely teased, he was bullied” and kids would call him “four-ears."
“My mom always said people who make fun of you and are trying bring you down - they're already down. They're trying to bring you to their level,” said Coleman.
These days Coleman wears a skullcap to keep his hearing aids in place under his helmet, but as a kid, he had to improvise. ... Read more: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/deaf-nfl-player-derrick-coleman-inspires-on-and-off-the-field/

VIRAL VIDEO: Helen Keller sunglasses commercial video under fire for misleading and copyrights.
A Chinese company has grabbed international headlines by naming a line of sunglasses after Deaf-Blind activist Helen Keller.
Is it a smart thing to try and profit off of someone else’s tragedy? One company seems to think so. A Chinese fashion firm, Xiamen Jinzhi, has named a line of its sunglasses Helen Keller.
This is no marketing mistake, or lost in translation. A spokesman for the company, Chen Wenjing, told the Wall Street Journal, they were well aware Keller was blind, but saw merchandising value in her “philanthropist spirit.”
It appears Helen Keller is a famous figure Chinese children learn about in school, according to the article. But maybe the fashion company’s marketing team didn’t pay attention when the course was taught.
On the company’s Helen Keller sunglasses website, someone seems to have picked up a reference about Helen Keller from Wikipedia, “Helen Keller: She was the first Deaf-Blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.” Read more: http://bottomline.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/24/11370286-helen-keller-sunglasses-create-a-stir
