The National Foundation for the Deaf: Boom

That's kind of hitting people over the head isn't it?

This series has good photography and visual treatment going for it. Very engaging at that level. Seven to nine star.

But -- and gently now -- "No."

The whole thing comes off as wrong. The wording of the payoff line was no doubt polished until it gleamed, but, sorry, it is not adequately thought out. What we see up on the screen isn't properly a subtitle or lyric or anything suggestive of impairment. It's a guy humming wordlessly along with his mp3 player because he feels good. The fact that this approach may still somehow manage to jump the logic gap for the preliterate/illiterate target audience with no problem, in spite of the fact that it's like a joke with the punchline mangled, might save it. But I doubt that it delivers the gut-punch needed to reach it's target, anyway.
