On this particular issue, were people making fun of my mentally handicapped child, my vitriol would know no bounds.

In this one specific avenue of complaint, I find little fault.

Responses:

But wait a second, TFox, it's satire! I believe I heard from someone with a name like "Farrah Malin" that that was OK. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:08 6
- honestly, I hate the chick, but just because she's a hypocritical idiot doesn't make it ok. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:13 5
  - It also means I don't have to take her complaints seriously. But more to the point - would someone care to explain the insult? - Reagen Feb 17, 07:19 4
    - I saw the episode and it's immediately apparent that it's not a mocking joke, but a message that handicapped people don't have to be treated coddled - Max Feb 17, 07:29 1
      - oh hell. she really is a useless whiner. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:33
    - Probably the kid talking is talking with a down syndrome ...um...lisp? - JaxSean Feb 17, 07:22 1
      - The character literally had down syndrome. She was also quite a jerk. -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 07:31
It sounds like it was a jab at her and not the kid. - Fuzzy Feb 17, 07:03 1
- That's how I perceived it too, but I haven't seen the episode either. -- nm - LMS Feb 17, 07:17
Sure, if she's consistent about it. But she doesn't care if Glen Beck uses it. -- nm - mara Feb 17, 06:56 1
- This is true. I read a good opinion piece about this and forgot about it when I commented. You're absolutely right. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 07:27
Hers doesn't either - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:56 2
- *makes SATIRICAL retard jokes with impunity* -- nm - Rush Feb 17, 07:17 1
  - It took you guys 9 minutes to do that though, and it could have been done in 3:30. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:51
