Quote: Marc P @ August 19 2008, 2:51 PM BSTI wrote a lot of sketches around sports for a two forty five minute German programme going out at the time of the olympics before last. One of the series I did was around the notion of a local version of paralympics. A sign reading Wheelchair Discus.. 3 O'clock. Then cutting to man in the net swirling round and then throwing a wheelchair, whilst officals run out to mark the length. They didnt go with those particular sketches as they thought it might offend. I didn't think they were offensive... but what do you think?
I can see why it would seem offensive as it may undermine the fact that disabled people are part of the olympics too and it kinda makes them seem less important but that's going into it deeply, I am studying psychology after all. I hope that makes sense as even I didnt feel comfortable reading the sketch but I'm glad you involved the paralympics in your work!
