Even if deafness can be "cured" with implants and stuff, there's the question of whether it should be cured for everyone. I know there are deaf communities that feel their culture and language are threatened by the increasing prevalence of implants. After all, why would anyone learn sign language if there are no deaf people, other than as a curiosity, or a secret language? Languages, after all, help bind cultures together.

Personally, I think we should give children every opportunity to live their lives unimpeded by disabilities, even if it means some people feel threatened, or it means the end of some communities. (Btw, I extend this view to screening for genetic disorders during early pregnancy, to allow parents to end the pregnancy should such a disorder be found. I know some parents who have children with Down's think this idea sounds horrid, but I'm of the firm opinion that we can't go around preserving various disabilities that have no advantageous traits just to keep from offending some people.)

I'm pretty sure that was sign language for "I want to eat your face and genitals when I grow up."

Chimps and Gorillas can learn sign language. I haven't heard of it spreading in the wild though.

Hmm doesn't seem to be the original video. The one I saw yesterday panned back and forth between her and the group.
This clip@ 22:43 is much better - perhaps this was the one shown yesterday?

What the fuck? The whole point of this video is that what the sign language interpreter is doing is funny. But we don't get to see what she's doing. We know from the reaction of the audience that it's funny, but all this video is doing is telling us we're missing something that would make us laugh if we saw it.

Who knew we needed this as much as we do!?

The only actual sign language I could make out on this is:

If you jerk it you're gonna make a mess and then cry.

So a normal weekend then?

So ... even people doing anti-wank sign language are better dancers than me? Great. Just great.

Chimpanzees raised in captivity are usually taught to communicate using hand signs from ASL. Anyone here know sign language?

No but I have a good guess at what pointing to an object and then pointing to your palm means.
The sign I'm actually most curious about is the meshed fingers. (He) does that a couple of times.
