SHODDY GAME PULLED FOR OFFENSIVE CONTENT.
(Posted 2007-06-30 21:02:36 by basscomm)

Shoddy _Brain Age_ series knockoff _Mindquiz_ is in the process of being
pulled from shelves because it contains a particular word that is
considered particularly offensive for folks suffering from cerebral palsy.

"I thought it was absolutely appalling that a word like this should be used
to describe someone who has not achieved very well," said the caller,
continuing, "My daddy also has cerebral palsy and he is in his mid-50s and
this is a word that really offends my dad."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
What the word is seems to be unclear.
