Frown Did anyone see or hear the latest episode of Celebrity Apprentice?

I am not normally a tv watcher, but I noticed that Celebrity Apprentice was on the other evening. Gary Busey was leading a eam of men, his charity was for brain injury.

Gary explained that he'd had a TBI back in the late 90's.

His processing speed is definitely slower than everyone else on the show, and I could certainly see how frustrated the others in his group were with him. While the celebrities know that Gary has had a brain injury, they weren't real sympathetic.

Instead, the celebrities got very frustrated with Gary. And Gary got frustrated with them. He felt as though he was emotionally alone.

That is like every one of us who have had TBI's. I just feel so bad for Gary! And it bothers me that others are laughing & frustrated with Gary's difficulty processing multiple areas.

Why is it okay for general society to make fun of those of us who are struggling to process information? It isn't okay. It isn't funny. It is sad to see this on tv, rather than just in my everyday life! The celebrities are supposed to be competing to supporting charities that they believe in.

Am I being overly-emotional about this? It just feels SO sad to me!
