I can't even explain how that not only the word, that movie, but your post is completely offensive to me and my 2 DS's 9 & 2 who are challenged. I can't even comprehend how or why someone would not understand that that word is wrong to use. The movie in question says the word 16 times IN ONE CLIP and now has made a catch phrase of a line in the movie using that word and put it on a t-shirt, it's something like you never go full retard. The definition on the "B" word is a female dog but i know if someone was to call me it i would take offense and say something back, my kids can't say anything back and the "B" word is the equivalent to the word retard for special needs people. It should not be used at all in any sense especially not to make fun of the special needs. that stoops to a all time low IMO.
