I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how the "Deaf Person of the Year" was a fail.
[sigh]

Don't feel bad. I did the same thing. I even had a weird moment of wondering "is the fail supposed to be that the Deaf Person of the Year is *Asian*? WTF?"
This fails on so many different levels that it's hard to zero in on just one... but I wonder how in THE HELL the interaction went between Verizon and deaf.com's marketing rep. Maybe it was something like this:
Verizon: We'd like to buy an ad in your publication.
Deaf.com: What?
Verizon: WE WANT TO BUY AN AD.
Deaf.com: What?
Verizon: WE WANT TO BUY A BLOODY AD!!!
Deaf.com: What?
Verizon: WE WILL GIVE YOU MONEY. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
Deaf.com: Oh, well why didn't you say so? What are you selling?
Verizon: Text messaging services.
Deaf.com: Good; that might be useful for our readers.
Verizon: What?
Deaf.com: I say, that might be useful to our readers.
Verizon: What?
[etc., ad nauseam.]
