i can see it now.
HEADLINE: CALIFORNIA
Target corp. has announced that to prevent a lawsuit, it is switching it's web page to include a Braille page for the vision impaired.
how the vision impaired will feel the Braille web page is not important, just the fact that Target corp. recognizes they did the vision impaired people of the world wrong is enough for now, stated a spokesperson for the A.C.L.U., who spoke on the conditions of anonymity.
"but we will be going after computer monitor manufacturers in the very near future to make the monitors Braille compatible for the vision impaired" said the spokesperson.

Geez, thats pathetic. As truly horrible that being blind would be, how can you descriminate against them by having a website inacessable to the blind? I guess we should just ban the internet because blind people cant use it, or at least sue every single website that exists because they are descriminatory. Apperantly somebody wants to get rich quick.

Wellllllll.........How difficult would it be to add sound to the necessary items? I am no computer expert, and have not a clue what would be involved. I know other things that require eyesight are on audio tape. Could this be done by computer. I understand the book taping is done mostly by volunteers. Feasable????? jd

As far as this specific lawsuit it is rediculous.

I guess if there is something specific about Target's website that renders both of those items useless, Target should try to remedy the situation, but a lawsuit over it is crazy.
