This whole article is 404 for me, but the comments are fine. Same with the 45 records.

I put up a meta post for this. I’m encountering the same thing.

I wish I could have been in the room for that pitch.
AD EXEC: “Our research shows that people respond favorably to ads that feature the disabled.”
MALTESERS CEO: “Good. We’re a socially conscious company and we’d like to include disabled people in our ads, but how do we do it without making it seem exploitative?”
AD EXEC: “The key is to have the situations presented be as normal as possible. What sorts of issues do you deal with on a daily basis?”
MALTESERS CEO: “Oh, you know. Unexpected ejaculations, getting dog poop in my ear, that sort of thing.”
AD EXEC: “Exactly.”
MALTESERS CEO: “Jackpot!”

Incidentally, I saw Genevieve Barr (the woman in yellow in that ‘Theo’s Dog’ ad) in ‘Unreachable’ at the Royal Court, London in July, playing a character who just happened to be deaf; it was no more relevant to the part than her shoe size.
Likewise I’ve seen Nadia Albina, who happens to have no right forearm, in 4-5 productions by the RSC (e.g.), in none of which was her disability even alluded to.
This link does not work for me - 404 / NOPE BOING BOING page insted of any video - What is going on with this? It is the fourth link on boingboing.ne that does not work - most of the others do though so what’s going on with this?
