SNL skit about the fake ASL interpreter - thoughts?

[smokey the elder]

Apparently there is a South African sign language and the South African deaf community said he was signing gibberish.

They may not be making fun of ASL or its culture, but to "fake sign"/"gibberish" and continue that as a joke is kind of making a mockery out of the language. :roll eyes:

But you're right - someone did not do their job right and caused all of this. Sad. Did they ever talk about what was going to happen to that fake interpreter?

The man has been admitted to a psych hospital according to this report.
