To think a deaf gentleman has been exploited here?

A stunt was played on a deaf man whereby 'strangers' he encountered on the street spoke to him in sign language, moving him to tears.

Muharrem was unwittingly placed at the centre of an elaborate stunt in which he was secretly filmed encountering a host of strangers in a series of staged meetings through Istanbul.

The stunt, which took a month to prepare, was organised by mobile phone company Samsung to promote its call centre for the hearing impaired.

Is it me or is this a rather cynical exploitation of a deaf man for commercial purposes?!

I think it was lovely, it's a very lonely place not being able to communicate with other people purely because you cannot hear. It's not until you know someone with a hearing impairment that you realise how much of a disadvantage it is in every aspect of life, it's a shame they don't teach the basics in school.
