So the deaf guy thinks he's missing scintillating dialogue?

Could you imagine having that job? To write/type out the subtitles for porn?

Kill two birds with one stone, need a split screen:



When I was in college I tutored jocks at Ohlone Junior College in Fremont, which in those days had a very vibrant deaf curriculum. Eating lunch in the cafateria was a wonderful experience watching how incredible well they communicated and the amazing facial expressions.

Why is it PH's responsibility to provide subtitles? Does Youtube have to do it? Is this idiot a paid subscriber, who was taken in while thinking he'd get subtitles for paid subscription? I hope PH countersues him into BK.

If I owned Porn Hub I'd stream stock quotes at the bottom just to f' with him. That or I'd put it all in Japanese.

Wow, imagine going to a lawyer and saying you are getting sued by porn web site.

The lawsuit will fail because PH is not discriminating, the the ADA (or ADAAA) does not apply to private websites. Private in this context means membership required, limited entry, or not owned/managed by a government entity or entity providing services to the public on the government's behalf.

At my work, we just went through a huge ordeal for our websites on ADA/ADAAA and new privacy regulations.

Side note, what was this guy expecting in terms of subtitles?
