I don't get why she thinks that would be funny. Is she saying that black retarded childern are worse then white retarded childern?? The cartoon really wouldn't be any different.... see

haha I think the only way to make it PC is to change all the characters to care bears..... retarded care bears

That's be sweet. Braveheart would be walking around going, "God dammit, Retardy! I'm fucking sick of your retarded shit! You are a retard! But as a care bear, I must care for you! FUCK MY LIFE!" Naturally.

First of all, I HATE when people use the word "retarded." For instance, if someone's frustrated with a situation, they'll say "Well, that's just retarded." No! That's incorrect use of a word.

I just don't like it and there are other words you can use to express your opinion.

"Retard" comes from a term "ritard" in music which means to slow down the tempo while playing. So, while they go hand in hand, no one is going to say "He's ritarded." That's just silly.

But, you're a lot safer to say handicapped (like Gabrielle) or mentally-disabled because too many people have a problem with the word due to direct affiliation with someone who is handicapped.


EDIT: Mary Louise-Parker did a really good movie with Zac Effron called "Miracle Run" that I really liked in which she raised 2 autistic sons. Cheesy movie, yes, but good.

No offense to you -- I hate that I have to be so careful with what I say because I might offend someone. We used to say 'faggot' when we were young to refer to someone who is not cool. We used to say 'gay' in the same way and a long time ago it meant happpy. When did everyone get so dang sensitive.

When I first listen to this show, Keith was talking about someone with the same physical handicapp that my daughter has and he said something like 'I guess you just throw that baby away' -- I got a little upset for a split second but I realized that this is a comedy show - it's purpose is to entertain. He is not giving lectures on how to deal with a special needs child - then I think I would stay upset about his comments.

Everyone should just dig themselves with this PC shit already.

I completely agree and know that this is all for comedy, I'm just saying that out in the real world when you're having conversations, you need to be PC. It's just polite and saves a lot of headache. Not on the show or here on the forums... Oh lord, no.

If you're comfortable with a person and all, then no big deal. To each his own.

How about multiple choice buttons to match your preferred funny race before the video starts?
