Web Series You Aren't Watching: 1. Burning Love

Why do we have a petition asking Yahoo to update its video player to support closed captioning, now? One reason is because deaf and hard of hearing people do not have access to popular Yahoo entertainment productions like Burning Love, a reality dating parody of ABC's show The Bachelor. On the show, a "thick-headed, single man" chooses from among "demented beauties," including a homeless lady.

In fact, Burning Love, which includes guest appearances by celebrities, is so successful on Yahoo that Yahoo together with Paramount, recently ordered two more seasons of Burning Love. This news was reported last week by Variety and others.. If Yahoo does not update its video player soon, this means deaf and hard of hearing people will miss out on not one, but THREE seasons of a top web television program. Season 2 is going to be a parody of The Bachelorette, and season 3 will parody Bachelor Pad.

 Burning Love is but one of the many reasons why we need to convince Yahoo to update its video player NOW. The longer we wait, the more we miss out on. There is no excuse. Other companies have already updated their video players and are accessible to deaf and hard of hearing people, while Yahoo remains totally inaccessible!
