Web Sightings
Six web favorites from Silas F. Matthies

What are your favorite video clips about disability? Each month, we showcase a handful of disability-related Web sites, video clips or news items, as picked by someone in the community.

July’s picks were chosen by Silas F. Matthies, a recent graduate of Minneapolis’s Augsburg College and summer intern at Access Press. He enjoys reading, writing (mostly fiction), spending time with animals and talking to friends online. He writes and maintains several story series with other writers from across the country. Enjoy!

Ps. Join in. Send your top five (with comments) to access@accesspress.org

“Scary Movie 2 Basketball Scene”

A short scene from the 2001 spoof movie “Scary Movie 2” in which the main characters perform basketball tricks, a parody of a Nike ad. Even a character’s stunt double in a wheelchair busts some moves.

Forward to: someone who likes parody and the Globetrotters.

 

“Extreme Wheelchair Stunts”

A collection of clips in the fine American tradition of extreme sports, this time involving people who are always on wheels.

Forward to: your local skater dude.

 

“Pit Bull service dog tricks and tasks (Tauri)”

Not many people would consider a pit bull a possible service dog. Let this convince them otherwise.

“Funny Japanese Pranks”

You don’t need to spend hours setting up a prank: even something as simple as jumping out of a box can work wonders.

Forward to: anyone who appreciates a good prank.

 

“Two-legged Dominic”

www.youtube.com/

You may have heard of Faith the two-legged dog. Now meet Dominic.

Forward to: a dog lover.

 

“Quadriplegic Woman to Sail Around Britain Using Only Her Breath”

www.telegraph.co.uk/

A non-Youtube video about a woman only able to move her eyes, mouth, and head making a record-breaking voyage.

Forward to: someone in need of an uplifting story.
