Never Google search the word 'Aspergers' ! Seriously!

And this is why....  

I've found this video after searching Google for movies about Autism from funny or not .com titled Aspergers High.

I don't know if it's a real promo for a CW late night comedy show or not but I found this offensive.  

You guys can disagree with me or not but I hate the stereotype jokes about Aspergers in this video and I bet someone on here would tell me they thought it was funny (laugh at yourself ha ha kind of funny) but it's the fact that the jokes are based on Aspergers stereotypes and people are stupid enough to judge us by stereotypes! This is whats pissing me off!  

I'm curios of what would happen if I did a Google war on the word Autism and Asperger's and compared the good information against the stereotypical information or hatefulness against Autism and asperger's ?

For those who don't know what a Google war is here's one example:

1. Google search your name.
2. Google search a friends name or a famous person or celebrity.  
3. Record the number of search results for your name and friend/famous person/celebrity's and compare the results to see who got the most. Who ever got the most results win...

So yeah... I've got to stop doing Google searches for Autism or Aspergers cause it's only making me hate people more and more...

Actually, I think this thread (and video) will give you guys a pretty good idea of how were a joke to young people and how I swear their getting stupider by the days....

I mean the majority of young people of course, the typical ones without a sense of judgment or humanity.  

But what can AFF do about ? We can start by not sinking to their level of making stereotypical jokes about them.

I don't see why we can't be angered by them but I'd rather not sink to their levels....

So guys.... Welcome to Stereotypical-ville and The-a**-of-all-jokes-about-a**ess-and-burgers.... *sigh*

RE: Never Google search the word 'Aspergers' ! Seriously!

I posted a thread similar to this a while back and was actually convinced that google was against us. I typed in Autism.jpg...

My advice, don't google it. Everything has either the puzzle piece, is related to AutismNOTSpeaks or is highly offensive.

So it's either an insult, or used as filler or used when someone doesn't know how to reply?

Don't look at it, that's the best thing to do.

I dunno either. I just like saying deep. Not in an insulting way.

I didn't mind South Parks little "a**burgers" joke so much cause after all, they make fun of everything and these type of jokes don't usually bother me...

It's the fact that this video was attacking with the Aspie stereotypes that bothered me and I don't know if this was a real promo for a real television shoe...

What if this video is an upcoming show for the CW ? There is decent people in the world but not every person is and I fear this will spread like a wild fire...

I take back what I said earlier, using Asperger's as a search term alone seemed okay, but when you mix it, you do come across some offensive things.... :/

RE: Never Google search the word 'Aspergers' ! Seriously!

Just filter out offensive results by placing "-" (negative sign) in front of words
when doing a search. Like:

autism -"with autism" -mercury -vaccines -cure -cancer -AIDs -Scientology


Ask not what people can do for you,
Ask what will you do for yourself.

Asperger High is a joke.
