Tourettes Guy

This is for a mature audience. This guy has mild tourettes syndrome, but he's under the influence when he's being filmed. I found this for the first time two weeks ago, and I honestly don't think I've seen anything funnier in my life.

Wow! I don't know what that was but, um...People do stupid things.

I'm sorry, but I don't find anything funny about this. It's rather sad, in my opinion, and what's worse is that you're making fun of him and turning him into a big joke when he obviously has a serious problem. Why did you post this on MC?? Kevin or Phillip, please remove it. Thank you.

Okay, first off, Bear... the acting in it is horrible. And the guy is well aware of what he's doing while they're filming. This guy has low-grade tourettes, and they don't film him while he has the real spats. I labelled this as a mature audience viewing, and MC isn't just for kids.

You're right. It's not just for kids, but it is for families. I'm just looking out for the good of the forum. I mean, whether you put a disclaimer on it or not, what's the point of you posting it? What is so funny about it? The fact that this man has tourettes (low-grade or high-grade), or that he is "drunk" and has tourettes? What's the funny part? I guess I'm missing something. All I see is a man with real serious condition and it is being made a mochery of.

Thank you Bear, I was just gonna say the same thing.
Also I just wanted to share, I didn't watch the video, but my best friend has low-grade tourettes, so it's not something that I find particularily funny.

Thank you, Mrs. Pepper.

If you guys think I'm making fun of people with tourettes, you REALLY need to see the main page on that website they have for him. Trust me, I may not have tourettes, but I've had my crosses to bear. People on the forum here who know me know exactly what I mean.
