Aimee Mullins: double amputee, athlete, and model

"Aimee Mullins (born 1976 in Allentown, Pennsylvania) is an American athlete, actress, and fashion model best known for her collegiate-level athletic accomplishments, despite a disability that resulted in the amputation of both of her legs." --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aimee_Mullins

This magazine cover is the first I saw of her (om nom nom): http://www.univie.ac.at/cga/art/Dazed.JPG

Amazing,
I agree those who put their disability first are somewhat disabled.
Those who live the life they want despite the disability are regular, normal people. Though we view it as admirable!

No, it really is *dead. True story. I've refreshed umpteen times now and the "We're sorry, this video is unavailable" message just doesn't go away. I even went to the actual youtube link and it doesn't work there either.

This is ridiculous. I don't know what's wrong with this video, but it works for some people and not others. After 30 minutes of tinkering with Firefox's cache, addons, plugins, and reinstalling Flash, I finally was able to get it to work by opening it instead with IE. In order to confirm that was indeed the problem, I had several friends do the same test themselves by opening it first in Firefox and then again in IE, but for all of them it was dead in both instances, contradicting my theory.

I cannot explain this phenomenon except that I think it should be marked dead just from the fact that it is either 1. poorly uploaded/corrupted or 2. browser-specific. Is this seriously the only possible embed available for this story?

I defer to the 'sift to discuss this odd matter.

Dead for me too. Check your embed code. I can almost guarantee that's what's fucking it up. This is what I get when opening it in IE (It works there) and when I use FF, I don't get all that weird shit - just the video and description.
