Well, he’s already a victim
of Audial America. Why stop at single victimhood?
From Yahoo News
New
York (AFP) - A deaf man in New York has filed a class action lawsuit against
three pornographic websites on grounds he cannot enjoy their content fully
without closed captions.
In a
filing Thursday in Brooklyn federal court, Yaroslav Suris sued Pornhub, Redtube
and YouPorn and their Canadian parent company MindGeek, arguing they violated
an anti-discrimination law called the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Suris,
who already sued Fox News over similar violations, named several racy-sounding
videos that he said he wanted to watch in October and this month.
"Without
closed captioning, deaf and hard of hearing people cannot enjoy video content
on the defendants' websites while the general public can," Suris wrote in
his 23-page complaint.
Suris
said he wants the porn sites to provide closed captioning and is also seeking
undisclosed damages and interests.
Pornhub Vice President
Corey Price sent AFP a statement asserting that the website does in fact have a
closed captions category and provided a link to it.

From what I understand,
dialog in a porn flick might lose some impact if written on the screen. I mean,
after you read “Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes” a dozen times, there’s not much left.
