Peinlich, peinlich:
Zitat:
Soon after they jumped off the bus that afternoon, the teens from Redwood Valley High in rural southwestern Minnesota had one question: Where's 50 Tyson?
Moments like that have kept Antonio's family, teacher and coach shaking their heads. They still find it hard to believe that a 17-year-old with autism has gone from an unknown in north Minneapolis to a larger-than-life Internet rap sensation.
Antonio hosts parties and performs at trendy nightclubs. Celebrities sport his 50 Tyson T-shirts. Comedians refer to him in their routines. There was even a rumor floating around school that a Hollywood starlet wanted to book him for her birthday party.
[...]
The online performances are part of Hudson's plan to keep Antonio fresh in music fans' minds until his album release next year. He advanced Antonio $20,000 when the teen signed with Hudson Records. As part of their two-year contract, the former Minnesota Timberwolves point guard also started a website to market Antonio as the "face of autism."
[...]
According to Hudson's website, $1 from every T-shirt sold will benefit Autism Speaks, a New York-based advocacy group; The organization has yet to receive a dime, a spokesman said last week.

Was genau meinst Du mit peinlich ?
Ich habe das zwar gelesen, aber vielleicht nicht ganz richtig verstanden.
Etwa, daß die Plattenfirma für diese Vereinigung sammelt,
die die Autisten "ausrotten" wollen?

Da habe ich also wieder mal was kapiert, aber mir nicht zugetraut,
es richtig kapiert zu haben.
Da bin ich gerade wieder am Überlegen, ob das jetzt der Autismus ist,
oder eine allgemeine Überreaktion auf erlebte Mißverständnisse.
