Disipline Al Roker for Epilepsy Comments

To:  today@nbc.com

We, the undersigned, respectfully request that NBC Universal Television proceed with disciplinary action in relation to the Today Show's Al Roker.
Al Roker's comments made on the air on Thursday, June 7, 2007 in reference to people suffering from epilepsy are entirely unacceptable. Additionally, Matt Lauer's laughing at the comments are equally unacceptable.
While we realize that the media (television, radio etc.) exist to entertain, hosts and broadcasters have a responsibility to the general public. That trust was violated by Mr. Roker when he chose to 'poke-fun' at people who are the victim of a serious medical condition.
We thank you in advance for taking appropriate disciplinary actions in relation to Mr. Roker and Mr. Lauer.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
