More Questionable Advertising

Word arrives that Apple Computer is running a commercial that features a man in a wheelchair playing the role of an IBM clone Personal Computer. His counterpart is apparently a normal looking upscale man. I have always thought of Apple as a progressive organization. I have continued to imagine this even though their Macintosh PCs have been decidedly inferior in terms of usability by blind folks for over twenty years.

What knuckle head in their advertising division thought of this disgraceful idea? Shame on Apple. 

It's hard enough for people with disabilities to find work without a major corporation adding to the ignorant idea that the disabled are inferior employees in the workplace.
