Nope!
I don't know what it is, but I read subs while staying focused on the main part of the screen. I mean, looking at the bottom of a screen doesn't black off everything above it, right? Unless you eyes like a fly or something, I'd think it's pretty easy.
For the record, though, I listen to the English dubs AND have the subs on simultaneously - the best of both worlds.

If more dubs were like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAtC1SzWSXg
I'd be rejoicing, it makes the bad dialogue hilarious.

It really differs for me...
Aged 6-13 = Dubs only! Why would I want to listen to crazy Japanese voices?
Aged 14-18 = Subs only! It's the way the shows were intended to be.
Aged 19-now = Depends on the situation.
Dubs are much easier to follow, because you don't need to constantly read or pay attention. In fact, I sometimes play dubbed anime series in the background whilst working or playing games.
On the other hand, I really don't mind subtitles. I've grown up watching foreign movies and playing foreign games. Before I got into anime, 90% of all shows I watched were english with dutch subtitles.

Give all dubs a chance.
Dubs take a lot more effort than subtitles, and if they go through the trouble and put noticeable effort into it, then ignoring it is just childish.
I make exceptions for children's shows because I would rather them learn different names and reject them later than learn Japanese names and pronounce them wrong for the rest of their lives.

I don't hate either.
You have a point about laughing at anime, but what about shows that are intended to be serious? If you're laughing at those too, you're kinda missing out.

I'm either or. Not to picky if the anime overall is good. I'd even just watch subs without sound. Really as long as I get some translation I'm fine. Cause my expertise in Japanese is nonexistent.
Generally, I prefer subbed anime myself. But there are exceptions - one extreme one is Makoto Shinkai's 5 Centimeters per Second. I've had the pleasure of seeing it and I must say the experience (yes, experience!) was heavily diluted with my attention divided between reading the subtitles and soaking in the glorious and breath-taking visuals. I am not aware of any plans to license this in the US yet, but when (hopefully, when) they do, I'll definitely pick a few copies up. This is one title that has to be seen and not read!
