Heller Keller wasn't the creator of ASL:
In 1815, a Protestant minister, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, left his home in Hartford, Connecticut to visit Europe. Dr. Mason Cogswell had asked Gallaudet to investigate methods of teaching his deaf daughter, Alice Cogswell. While in England, Gallaudet hit a roadblock when directors of the Braidwood Schools, who taught the oral method, refused to share their methods of teaching. Nevertheless, while in London, Gallaudet met with Abbé Sicard , director of the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris, and two of his students, one of whom wasLaurent Clerc. Sicard invited Gallaudet to visit the school in Paris. He did not go immediately, but instead traveled to Edinburgh, Scotland where he again met the methods of Braidwood. They again refused to teach him their methods. Gallaudet then traveled to Paris and learned the educational methods of the Royal Institution for the Deaf with sign language, a combination of Old French Sign Language and the signs developed by Abbé de l’Épée. Gallaudet persuaded Clerc to return with him to Connecticut and become a teacher for the deaf. Gallaudet and Clerc opened the Connecticut Asylum for the Education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons (now called American School for the Deaf) in April 1817. Deaf students were taught French signs and brought in signs of their own, such as those from Martha’s Vineyard . Thus, it was at this school that all these influences would intermingle and become what is now known as American Sign Language.

I call BS, too. The sign used in that picture by the Satanist (these Satanists are most likely atheists who don't believe in the Bible Satan. Google Anton LaVey) is NOT an "ILY" sign nor does it mean "devil" in sign language. He's tucking his thumb in. You need the thumb out to make the LY part of I L Y.
Also, the sign for "devil" is a number 3 hand shape. It doesn't look anything like I L Y.
Therefore, the two signs are not related at all.
That photo is a hearing sign for devil or I love rock and roll.
The proper sign for devil is done with the thumb touching the temple.

Well obviously. It can't have more then one meaning, can it? And that makes Mack Brown the devil.
