news.bbc.co.uk — A video game which uses a term abusive to people with disabilities is being pulled by its manufacturer. MindQuiz, a brain training game for the Nintendo DS handheld console, was released in the UK by French software giant Ubisoft in March 2007. However, poor performance in one section sees the player labelled in an offensive manner.

On behalf of my fellow diggers, you deserve this reply:f**k... You. Now you also must be new here and may or may not have noticed the comment system we have. It's where we bury lame or retarded comments and digg witty comments. As you may have noticed, your comment has been buried (meaning it's lame or retarded in case you haven't picked up the clue); you can change that by being less retarded than you are at the current moment or you can leave digg forever because it's not the site for you.

LOL. I had to do some digging (pun not intended) and even then all I unearthed was that naughty Isaiah Washington used "the F word". Oooo, better not use the word for fear of reporting the facts. Of course, in Britain, the "F word" is f**k, not fag.Same goes with the this lame-o story. "Woman gets offended over a the use of a 'bad word'. Woman says 'I can't believe they used a bad word that I don't like.' In other news, someone got hurt when something unfortunate happened somewhere"

That f**king article is retarded.And just because anyone takes offense to, or even enjoys, and kind of derogatory language, does not change the fact of the matter at hand.-Tim

well...they did not tell the word...It actually might not be that offensive but for the people who take it too seriously or somehow "related" to its meaning.

Crap, the game is probally right. Scales for IQ don't start at needs improvement, they start at retarded.
