Rather misleading of you not to include the disclaimer (which is on YouTube if you go to YouTube page for the video) for the first video saying that it is NOT created by Autism Speaks. It's someone's view of Autism Speaks, but it is not how Autism Speaks present themselves.

(The 2nd video doesn't claim to be by Autism Speaks.)

You can also go to their own website. http://www.autismspeaks.org

They definitely have a different perspective than Wrong Planet does.


Misleading? I believe it does say at the end of the video that it wasen't created by Autism Speaks...


At the end?

So, yes, misleading. You post like it's from Autism Speaks, the video is done as if it's from Autism Speaks, and only if one sits through the whole thing does one find out it's not, and then only after listening as if it was from Autism Speaks. So, yes, I do still think it's misleading.

Hey, I didn't make it, don't complain to me! But, to be fair, the title also says "Anti-Autism Speaks Video" in it, and you see that before you play it, and the satirical attitude of it also makes it quite obvious that it's not real, too.

No, it says "Anti-Autism Sp...". Take a look at your post. And it's easy to miss that partial subtitle.

And I didn't say or suggest you made it, just that you posted it without including the disclaimer, which you did do.

So I have to include disclaimers with everything I post now? How about you moan at whoever it was that actually made the video if you have a problem with it?*

Wow, way to respond as if I said things I didn't.

Since you aren't responding to what I actually said, there's no reason to continue this.

I know you weren't actually suggesting I made it, my point was simply that there is no point complaining to me about where messages in the video are. I also don't see why I'm obligated to post the disclaimer, all I did was post an obvious parody video...

WP can choose to block ads from them Autism Speaks, talk to alex about it, he'll need to talk to Google and sort it out.

But if you're in the mood for some fun, set up macros to keep clicking the Autism Speaks ads, then money will go from that evil hate group right to WP! :lol:


Autism Speaks wants to help people with Autism, they want them to better themselves.

Of course they do, which'll be why they spent more on office expenses then they did on community services, right? :roll:

Well, then, good thing I didn't complain to you about where the messages in the video are.

and not being autistic anymore is their idea of being 'better', too.

I think there's a difference between being autistic and being aspie. And, me personally, I'm not autistic anymore, but I'm still aspie, to the extent I ever was (half aspie, or something like that).

Yes you did, scroll up and you'll clearly see you making a fuss about a part of it being at the end...

Making a fuss? Well, whether or not my acknowledging what you said is making a fuss, I did NOT complain to you about where in the message the video was.

I didn't accuss you of anything you didn't do, or blame on you anything you didn't do. End of discussion. Feel free not to believe me. Your loss.

A quote from your post:

So, yes, misleading.


You said the message was at the end and used that to back your assumption that the video was misleading. Now you're just... Pretending it didn't happen :?
