RNID

Insight:

Feeling excluded is something we all understand, but is most felt by the Deaf community because most of the hearing population will only learn sign language if they have a friend or family member who is Deaf. 

Idea:

Incentivise hearing people to learn sign language by showing them that, with real rewards, it is worth knowing.

Line:

The Rewards Are In Your Hands

Film: Raid on modern day torture chamber.

The Met Police have received reports that ancient Mayan tongue torture once carried out in Tabasco (Mexico) has returned, as a social media challenge.

They raid a warehouse to find people eating various foods, some are in pain from the spice, some are enjoying themselves, while a Tabasco bottle sits at the centre of the table.

It turns out the rumours aren’t quite true.

Who said tongue punishing was for the past?
