I was looking for some information on a disease, when i saw a link to a site called tourettesguy.com.
It`s a guy who has tourettes syndrome, and let someone videotape him
The site offers plenty of videos, and it even has fan submissions, a chat room and forums...
What do you think about it? Is it wrong for anyone to use a syndrome to entertain people, or is it okay if he wants to do it?

as someone who has a syndrome (though not like this one) I say if it's done with his blessing then it's his perogative

taste, of course, is totally personal so everyone should make up thier own mind

I used to date someone who said he had tourettes, but he didn't.
he only ever "suffered" his tourette when he wanted to verbally
abuse other people. he'd badmouth you like no tomorrow and then
turn around and say "oh my god i'm so sorry but i have tourettes
syndrome"

he was a faker!

i know. but it was funny to watch though. he actually thought that
i'd believe he had tourette. everytime i did something wrong he'd
hurl the most offensive abuse possible my way only to say after it
that he couldn't help it, it was his tourettes lol.

after a while i was just going " you filthy mouthed c*cks*cker"

obviously that didn't go over very well either

IstenSzek said:

was he very queer?

dawntreader said:

don't tell me we're talking about the same dude here

IstenSzek said:

they are all foul mouthed

dawntreader said:

instead of all that fucking in the toilets,
perhaps they should be washing those
filthy mouths with soap in there

people use anything they can in the name of entertainment

one mans joke is another mans heartache

right or wrong

if this man chooses to entertain ( or try to ) with his tourettes, then thats fine

i guess

no different then dead baby jokes or any of the other things people make fun of


right ?

It`s their choice, but i think it`s wrong if someone make a syndrome, or disease a joke, cause many people have a hard time accepting their "problems" or differences, and it`s sad if they feel like they`re just on big joke.

But in the end, i guess it`s up to each one how they want to deal with it,
if he doesn`t mind it, that`s all that matters. If we don`t want to see his clips, we don`t have to.

Icicle said:

If he really has tourettes, then it is very healthy for him to express himself about it. Too many people with such aflictions close themself off and become isolated.

Has anyone ever slept with someone that had tourettes? Because if you are into dirty talk while having sex, I bet they would be killer at it.
