Yeah, I've felt that way for years. You want to be inclusive, but... Kind of want the option of turning it off, like closed-caption.

I felt terrible about it, but I think it was during Hurricane Harvey, that the signing guy was so out of control with facial expressions, I was suppressing laughter while listening to truly horrible consequences of the storm. Maybe go back to a smaller box in the corner of the screen??

You must be watching the guy who's signing for Jay Inslee governor of Washington because the guy is bouncing around like he's got ants in his pants

Yes! He is the latest. My wife (future saint) even paused the TV to show me that guy. What the heck?!? Please, just stop bouncing, Fella!
