SGU Casting call

A New Casting Call for SGU

As a paraplegic I'm offended by this.

This to me is just another example of TV telling me that a disabled person is of no use or has no ability to be intimate (and I'm not just talking about sex) unless there's some magical device that cures them (if only temporary) of their disability.

Agreeing with your anger. Sadly, this doesn't actually surprise me. When have this team ever put their brains in gear to be different or take risks or write sensitively? Never, really. (EDIT: like never having a homosexual or bisexual character is another example of this.) I think it's American TV really.

You would really enjoy a film called Inside I'm Dancing. It's an Irish indie movie, so probably quite hard to find, but it's amazing.

Yes they are the sad pathetic ones who think people with disability can't be sexy. I want to see how far they can take this --- how many groups can they offend?

I'm very sorry! :( I wasn't planning on touching SGU - sounds like I won't be regretting that decision. :(
