All this May it's Tim-May on SOUTH PARK.  U can check it out at 10 PM on the
comedy channel each Wednesday nite.  Timmy is in a motorized wheelchair and
just keeps yelling his name, TIMMY.  He seems to be moving around a lot,
suggesting he might have CP.  Timmy is discovered by a local rock group in
this first episode and ends up as a member of the TIMMY AND LORDS OF THE
UNDERWORLD heavy metal group.  In the band he just shouts TIMMY.  I really
don't know what to make of this character.  One character on the show seems
to say the disabled might be laughed at and made fun of, but this SOUTH PARK
characters also says Timmy is in your face.  I'll tell you one thing, Timmy
is not a well-spoken, lawyer type with a disability.  he's just a kid who
keeps yelling TIMMY.  Is he an advocate?  Is Timmy just having fun?  Is SOUTH
PARK exploiting the disabled or including us???  I CAN'T SAY!  U need to
watch this show and tell me and us.  I'd love to hear with you.  You might
want to check out my book THE LANDSCAPE OF MY DISABILITY.  I'm not sure if
Timmy can be found in my poems...but u never know.  And in a way...maybe he
is.
