[gui-talk] FYI: this is definitely discriminatory

[Doug Lee]

This discriminates by happenstance, not by intent, I believe. In other
words, I don't think anyone is trying to exclude us. It just happens
that the nature of this event requires sight. Whether that's worth
fighting about generally depends on how important the thing is to our
lives. I highly doubt anyone will find inability to participate in
this contest seriously life-threatening or limiting. :)

Gap, which will have about 1,000 stores open on Black Friday, is
distributing 3-D goggles at its Old Navy chain that allow shoppers to
find "secret" discounts marked on certain merchandise. Some will get a
free Eastman Kodak Co. digital camera with a purchase of $40 or more.
Its namesake chain will offer $19 women's jeans, while Banana Republic
will offer 40 percent off all purchases.
