Mas eles viram o filme??

LISBON, Portugal -- A Nobel literature laureate said Friday that protests about a film version of his book Blindness are unfounded and misguided.

Portuguese author Jose Saramago dismissed a threat by a U.S. association of blind people to picket theaters showing the movie, describing it as ''a display of meanness based on nothing at all.''

''Stupidity doesn't choose between the blind and the non-blind,'' Saramago told Portuguese radio station TSF.

The Baltimore-based advocacy group the National Federation of the Blind has said it plans to protest the movie in at least 21 U.S. states after it opened Friday.

Marc Maurer, the group's president, said it ''portrays blind people as monsters, and I believe it to be a lie.''

Saramago was the first Portuguese-language winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, which he won in 1998.

There once was a blind man who decided to visit Texas. When he arrived on the plane, he felt the seats and said, "Wow, these seats are big!" The person next to him answered, "Everything is big in Texas."

When he finally arrived in Texas, he decided to visit a bar. Upon arriving in the bar, he ordered a beer and got a mug placed between his hands. He exclaimed, "Wow these mugs are big!" The bartender replied, "Everything is big in Texas."

After a couple of beers, the blind man asked the bartender where the bathroom was located. The bartender replied, "Second door to the right." The blind man headed for the bathroom, but accidentally tripped over and skipped the second door. Instead, he entered the third door, which lead to the swimming pool and fell into the pool by accident.

Scared to death, the blind man started shouting, "Don't flush, don't flush!"
