1. Wow. Making fun of disabled people. Point and laugh. Dont they have a hard enough time in life without being mocked?

2. This article is completely tasteless. Comparing your skills to "short bus material" does not lessen the offense. You should remove this article and picture immediately!

3. Oh, chill out... It's a picture of a damn hummer tricked out a school bus. Have a LITTLE sense of humor and irony, people.

4. Ive got a lot of sense of humor and irony. Regardless, If this was a post mocking blacks or Asians or some other minority group, there would be a 50+ post gripe-fest about it. I guess its already as long as we are just messing with handicapped people. Ha Ha! Lets laugh at the cripples. If they get mad, we will knock them out of their chairs! How fun!

5. All of those adaptations are fairly basic, adding 1/8" mono mini-jacks to correspond with the four d-pad directions and each of the buttons.

That's great for fighting games, but most games require dual analog controls.

My son has cerebral palsy (and yes, he has ridden the short bus), so I've been adapting sticks for him for a while now. Finding a good solution for dual analog controls has eluded me for some time. You can add posts to the dual sticks, but they're too close together for a person with limited motor control.

Until somebody comes up with a way to create an adapated dual analog controller, a lot of games will be out of reach for gamers with disabilities.

6. Well, I hate to see anything like this from any kind of website, insulting people with disabilities. They can't help their disabilites, so I think insulting them over it is arrogant, blind, nonsense.

Personally, I have a form of Autism, which some might consider a "disability".

7. speaking of autism, did you see the story of the austistic high school senior who hit a bunch of 3 pointers? He was the team manager and they let him play the last game of the season... If you havent heard or seen this you can google it, im too lazy to provide a link.

8. What I want to know is where anyone was making fun of anything. Stop being so defensive. I have the utmost respect for people with disabilities, and I think it's awesome that some folks have at least attempted to adapt game input devices to allow them to enjoy the same games I do. I'm sure the bloggers/editors here do as well, which is probably why they decided to post about this.
