Fake Sign Language Interpreter Inadvertanly Provides Relief?

mandela_fake_signerIt turns out that the sign language interpreter at the Mandela memorial was providing no more meaning than the flailing limbs of an epileptic Jim Carrey skit. But there is a bright side, perhaps a heavenly bright side.

On one hand, it’s terrible that those hard of hearing or deaf may have missed out on a once in a lifetime opportunity to understand the eloquence, sincerity, and possibly inspirational brilliance from some of the world leaders that spoke at the Mandela memorial. But on the other hand, given our President’s penchant for long winded, mendacious, and self-serving banalities, the meaningless hand gestures were probably more meaningful, more insightful, and certainly more sincere, than the insufferable gibberish booming from speakers and echoing around the stadium during the President’s speech.  In a sign that perhaps Mandela’s Christian faith was present, the faux sign language interpreter, may have been simply a kind act of God, whose object was to limit further unnecessary suffering.
