Now I’ve seen everything

This reminds me of going into a restaurant bathroom and noticing that the NO SMOKING sign high up on the wall had braille  lettering…

The government discriminates against blind people by printing money that all looks and feels the same, a federal judge said Tuesday in a ruling that could change the face of American currency.

U.S. District Judge James Robertson ordered the Treasury Department to come up with ways for the blind to tell bills apart. He said he wouldn’t tell officials how to fix the problem, but he ordered them to begin working on it.

There’s no indication whether the judge will next rule that traffic lights will all need to have braille lettering or if MP3 players will be required to have closed-captioning.

    Omigod… I had to reread that several times. Then I had to say it out loud.

    Discriminating against blind people?! Are you kidding me?!
    Great blog… I gotta link you and remember to come back often. Even though I’m getting a headache just thinking about this.
