NCAA 13 Ohio Commercial
Bit of a weird request here. For those of you that don't know, I'm pretty hard of hearing. Deaf, for all intents and purposes.
Anyway, I was just linked to a live feed of some basset hound puppies on twitter, and before the ustream came up, there as a commercial for NCAA 13. The commercial had a father walk into his son's room, the father wearing an Ohio sweatshirt, and the son is playing NCAA 13, The Game. He appears to be playing as Ohio State. They talk for a moment, and then the father throws the son's TV out the window.
I'm just wondering what was actually going on there, because I'm a sucker for popular references to The Game. was the dad mad because the son was losing to Michigan, or what?
Hey jerk I am deaf as well.. It hard to understand what they are saying... we do not like be left out...
Think about it if we signs and talk about Michigan of THE Game.. you would like to know what they are saying right?

My bad. I didn't see he was deaf.
The difference is, we won't mock you for being blind.
That what he said....
I believe it. Doesn't matter anyway. You learn to deal. I've missed out on jobs because they didn't wanna hire a deaf guy, so little things? Feh.
...but how do you know that you were not hired because you were deaf? I'm not saying that stuff doesn't happen, but do you have clear evidence of such an action? If so, then there are numerous channels to elevate this issue (and its your choice to do so). If not, then you may be mis-labeling a hiring manager as a bigot, and in doing so is (IMO) as reprehensible as the acton of a bigot.
Perhaps you were not hired because of your abilities were not a fit?
I was told right out, in a private one on one meeting with zero proof.
That sucks, and those fucking bigots can eat a bag of dicks.
Did you elevate this issue? I understand that you have no documented proof, but I'm just curious.
i forgive you.
Granted, it was a good burn. But in doing so, he performed the exact action he professed not to perform. He called him out for being blind...
Making fun of people who have some degree of impairment is not cool, yo.
Yeah, they can't taste anything either.
You are a clown! He stated he could not HEAR the commercial idiot.
Way to bring your d*ck game today.
either my sarcasm meter is broken or you are a huge dick...
I tried googling for the video but couldn't seem to find it -- if someone could provide a link then I can happily summarize it for you.
But so far, it's only shown up on uStream. I was just hoping somebody else had seen it.
A quick search didn't turn up anything like that

Didn't know you were deaf but I definitely know how you feel as i'm at about 40% hearing loss and dropping. I have Tinnitus thanks to an Acoustic Neoroma (benign brain tumor growing on the inner ear) a few years ago so. Tinnitus is a constant ringing in your ear (think of a firecracker going off near your head) so to keep me from going insane my brain simply shuts off hearing to shut off the ringing. But at the end of the day all I hear sometimes when my wife or kids talk to me is sound. The words are like a poorly tuned radio station with lots of static. And every year I grow mgrowolder it gets a little worse.
FWIW I actually thought Mario's comment was funny as that seems to be the first word out of my mouth in about 90% of my conversations. But trust me....it does suck and I know how frustrated Blase, MatDog and everybody else with this problem can get.
Just one or bi-lateral? If bi-lateral, you have Neurofibromatosis Type 2. Welcome to the club! The place you want to go is House Ear Institute in Los Angeles. Right across the street from St. Vincent's. They are NF Gods. They've helped me so much.
Just one thankfully. I had a Gamma Knife procedure done which was amazing in itself (I was actually one of the first US patients to have it performed on me) at the Cleveland Clinic. Make fun of Ohio all you want but that place is pretty amazing too!
NF2 patientss aren't supposed to have Gamma Knife. We've got enough genetic problems already. Still, I can't help but wonder if there might not be cool results...
why would you want to get smashed into the ground by a Hulk?
I feel you man.. I was born deaf can hear about 60% Most of my common words that i say to people is...What?, Say that again.., or speak up... haha
The cuteness was overwhelming!
Then the search time was not poorly spent!
Being deaf. My sister was talking about dog breeds that she's interested in, I asked if she had ever heard the "Cute" Basset Hound or it's cousin the Beagle. Because if she got one she'd hear it constantly for years.
Which is just fine at times, but living in Chicago, I wouldn't consider a Basset a good apartment dog. Or at least, neighbors won't like it.
That said, adorable puppies:
My family had a basset hound when I was young. It was fine and an endearing dog. Beagles, though, are nuts. I've known a number of people with beagles, and all of those dogs were maniacs.
I have a beabull, which is half beagle and half bulldog. She is a maniac at times, but then the bulldog in her takes over and all is well. I cant imagine having a full bred beagle. Id go insane.
My brother has a beagle named "Moose." And it is... how you say... quite "special"...
Like everyone else, I couldn't find the video, but I wonder if it had to do with the new feature about switching Heisman winners between rivals. I've seen ads with Eddie George in a Michigan uniform and Woodson in an OSU uniform. It could have been something with that, because that seems to get everyone all riled up.
Puttin' Woodson in an OSU uniform is like puttin' an elevator in an outhouse.... just don't belong.
Is that what it was? Okay, got it then.
Roadhouse reference. If you haven't seen it, watch it. If you've seen it, watch it again. Just like a fine wine, only gets better with age.
this is what he is referring to:
I was debating whether or not to get this game. Now I'm definitely not going to. I can't unsee that.
1. Disgust
2. Denial
3. Depression
Going back through Twitter, because this is more awesome than administrative minutia, I found the channel to which you were linked, I believe, but I don't get the ad (could be the computer I am at, location, etc...). Does anyone get a different result?
build.com ad. Because we all know that seeing something on your ipad makes more sense than going to a store and looking at actual house fixtures.
Well, I can tell you there wasn't much said about it in the puppy live stream. Just some howling back and fourth at each other, nothing out of the ordanary for the rivalry.
