Great video, thanks for calling our attention to it! I plan on attending a protest against Autism Speaks this weekend, they do NOT speak for me!

I don't think that anybody should be walking for Autism Speaks. Those bastards are trying to wipe out the most beautiful population of the Human Race...us.

As the video says, all they are doing is trying to take advantage of us for their own gain, CR. It almost seems like they use their notions of helping folks with Autism as a front, but in reality they do exactly the opposite, catering for the people who see AS and Autism as a doctrinistic lie of some sort or a disease that must be cured. They paint themselves as the good guy and then blow their promises like all the big businesses out there. Remember IBM when they released their line of Deskstar hard drives, citing how reliable they were? Their frequent failures led to them being sued.

Isn't this the case with lots and lots of "charity" organisations?
