Big Brother response to email
9
Tue, 02-19-2008 - 8:16pm

I received this email from UAF (never heard of them before this whole situation), apologising for the daft git on Big Brother 9. My response to this is at the end.

This email is an Official Apology for any and all irresponsible, misleading and unprofessional comments made by Adam Jasinski on Big Brother 9, a CBS Reality TV Show, about children and adults who have been diagnosed with Autism.

In the name of the United Autism Foundation, I would like to apologize for all disrespectful comments made by Adam Jasinski on Big Brother 9 to the entire Autism Community as well as all children, adults and families who are affected by Autism.

I am aware that Adam Jasinski hurt many people in our country, but please understand that Adam does not represent the United Autism Foundation with his personal point of views or his personal believes.

Please accept my apologies and please keep in mind that the United Autism Foundation is committed to help special needs children in order to improve our society today. UNIAF is committed to support our community, and we need your support to make a difference.

The United Autism foundation is not about Adam Jasinski - UNIAF is trying to create awareness in order to help and support all those who have been diagnosed with autism.

AGAIN, I AM SORRY AND I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE FOR THOSE COMMENTS MADE BY ADAM JASINSKI ON BIG BROTHER 9.

Respectfully,

Olaf Hampel
President
United Autism Foundation>

Here was my response to that!

Sir,

I had sent an email to CBS and Adam's personal email though your foundadtion. While I acknowledge your apology, I do not feel that you or your organization need do so for one individual's ignorant rambings. My grievance was with Adam, and not your organization. An apology from Adam and CBS (who control editing in this case) seems more powerful and appropriate at this time, do you not agree?

Their response made no sense.

I know, I emailed CBS and Adam's BB email directly. I am thinking CBS are sloughing it off to this organisation as Adam is connected with hem. What a cop out!!!

Here is an article on E!Online that I found on this very topic about CBS's stance and the fact that Adam's website was registered only last December just before BB was to be aired. Does sound like a total scam to me too...

Also, while googling his questionable autism foundation site, I came upon a speech written by a high-school student that really touched me. I think everyone should read it:

"Trees are Beings, Inc"?

Quoi?

You know, I am not even going to start down that path, because I started to think about it, hand how it might possibly pertain to Autism, and my head started to throb.

I think that was my blood pressure rising...

Well, as I mentioned, we in Florida are working this too, since it is in our own backyard.
