I wish there were 'like' buttons on AW..so I can 'like' really good &/or helpful coments. Personally, I have never liked the show, because they all try to talk over each other, and that gets on my nerves. You can't hear any of them when they do that. None of them are listeners.

Yeah I have au and live in the uk. saw the show and no it did not bother me. They dont really know about alopecia but they were not horrible about it I dont think. No I was'nt upset about it. They could of said alot worst.

Everyone is in title to they opinion, but I agree with Thea you have to understand the context.. I am definitely not offended by this.

I wasn't offended at all. Im actually happy and surprised that they were talking about Alopecia. I actually laughed a little, some people do have funny shaped heads. But these are comedians they get paid to poke fun and enlighten situations. They weren't speaking negatively of Alopecia, but poking fun at bald shaped heads. You must admit, some people do have oddly shaped heads. But that's why Alopecia World is so awesome because we're embracing and loving ourselves.

Yup...I sent 3 emails and I know a lot of other people on AW did. Yet, I saw on the news that they had that fame whore (the one who crashed the White House event) on recently - they can devote lots of time to someone like that, yet can't have Kayla on to correct their blunder. Pathetic.

they ae just ignorant and I don't care to watch the show anymore. I work at a health club and everyone knows the view is NOT allowed on our 4 tv's we hve. I tried over and over to email them but never got a response! Now that is rude!!!!

Interesting....and pretty pathetic if she does that she just sat there and didn't say something supportive or educational.

Vicki ~ My best friend has said the same thing. I know that she she doesn't have eyebrows. My friend started calling me Whoopie some when I lost my eyebrows which I have no problem with, I have always been a fan of her and her work.

I still think Whoopi has alopecia! Unless I missed something, she tended to tread water a little.

I'm not offended myself, but understand how someone watching (perhaps newly diagnosed and nervous about it) could be. As most people have said before me, what must be remembered is how it's very easy for these guys to make quick passing jokes and comments when they don't really know anything about the condition. Maybe the joke would have been better received if a bald white woman made it? In all, it was clearly a bit of a laugh to make light of the subject, no offense was meant and shouldn't be taken:).
