We're all human. We laugh at things we find funny.
Tourettes isn't funny?
C'mon...

Oh yeah? Well PISSING OUT THE WINDOW... AND SHITTING OUT THE WINDOW ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!

Laughing at someone pretending to have tourettes does not make me a bad person.
And even if he had tourettes...it's still funny.
Yeah, I empathise with the guy...but it's funny.
I didn't kill him either...

See, now that's different...

there's a lot more to tourette's than screaming profanities. it's about an uncontrollable nervous twitch that manifests itself through various uncontrollable physical reactions. it's not about screaming PIIIIIIISSSSSSSS!!!! at the start of a sentence.

if this video was called funny drunk idiot then i'd be laughing my ass off. not a single one of his outbursts looked like an uncontrollable nervous reaction.

Yes. I'm aware of that thankyou.

The vid was funny, even if fake.

Everybody here seems to know someone with tourettes.
Well here's some news...so do I.

I've worked with a man by the name of Squeak (amongst other 'habits'), for obvious reasons, for the past 12 years, who 'suffers' from tourettes.
He's learned to live with it, doesn't take himself seriously and has a wicked sense of humour.

It's not like the guy has cancer...

Tourettes manifests itself in different forms for people though. Some may be more vocal rather than physical about it.

I don't understand what you're trying to prove.
Fake or not, the video is funny.
Tourette's is a syndrome, not a disease... it's not like anyone's dying from it.
People who have it I'm sure accept that they have to live with it, so there's no reason to be offended.
