Midweek slumgullion #26

Thought-provoking reads from across the pond, courtesy of Ouch!:

From the New Statesman: "Funny peculiar" -- Mat Fraser on disability and what is funny.

The Guardian: "I won't be happy until I lose my legs" -- A woman tellls of her lifelong desire to be a double-amputee.

The disabled and Wii: An open letter to Nintendo -- I've wondered if the new gaming system would or would not be an opportunity for exercise for the involuntarily sedentary, or anyone whose athletic options are limited. The comments are interesting.
