Needless to say, I was shocked.

Now whenever I read humorous yet disparaging jokes about the handicapped, I think of him- it makes the guilt just wash away.

I am so glad to see Carolliani called out for the inappropriateness of the comment.

At first, I didn't quite know how to phrase my opposition to using people with disabilities as a prop to a joke. But thank you, Frizzelle, I think you summed it up quite well.

and Carolliani, the special olympics tries to help people with disabilities feel better about themselves. It's comments like yours that make it even harder for people to cope with a disability.

Kicking people when they're down, it just makes you look like a cruel person.

has a gay person insulted your sense of propriety lately? maybe a person of color? does that make you hate everyone who happens to be gay or not white?

are you really going to hold the statement of one person, who happens to appear developmentally delayed, as speaking for the entire population of people with similar disabilities?

just think about. there are plenty of people with disabilities who are opposed to discrimination, especially because they experience it all the time.

For you to make such an assertion about people with disabilities makes you seem not only cruel, but ignorant.

What exactly is funny about having a cognitive disability? In the time I spent working for abused and exploited individuals with disabilities, I NEVER met a single person who EVER was able to find humor in a brain injury or other cognitive disability.

Maybe it was because I wasn't making fun of them. All I ever heard was how damn hard it is to not be able to participate in life like everyone else. How painful it is to be ridiculed for something beyond their control.

Insult me all you want. I wouldn't post comments here if I didn't expect to get slammed every now and again. And at this point, I would expect no less from you.

Afterall, everyone is fair game for them to appear funny, creative, and ascerbic. Turn out they'll be working the checkout line at Blockbuster, manning a gas station, or taking up space in some lame ass cubicle somewhere fairly soon.

Their "wit" won't do them so much good then.

But, it doesn't suprise me that the shitheads around here think that making fun of the DD community is hilarious and dismiss critics as being uptight.

For the record, never ONCE have I met a person with downs syndrome who thought they were funny because the were retarded.

You really suck coriolanus...

Got a little too many negative comments over there huh?

By the way, you aren't outrageous. You are a typical, predictable, wannabe hip twat. Ain't nothing creative, original, or interesting about you, despite what all your "friends" said in High School.

And I eagerly await your racist jokes considering that you believe that if "something is funny, then it is fair game" ethic.

You really are boring, and your freaky friday contributions were trite at best.

Nothing like a lousy mood to put an an unnecessary edge to my admittedly shrill 'defend the undefended' streak. I have tried to avoid making personal attacks when making comments, so I am sorry that I wasn't better about sticking to that personal rule.

Your flash animation and correlating auido is what is disabled...
