Nintendo withdraws game that taunts 'spastics'
― Alba, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 09:46 (sixteen years ago) link
"Andrew Rickell, executive director of Scope, the disability charity, praised Nintendo for withdrawing the game"
That'll be Scope, formerly known as The National Spastics Society.

"Nintendo has been forced to withdraw a computer game from sale in the UK because it contains the word 'spastic' in its script."
But we give knighthoods to writers who 'taunt' 1.5 Billion Muslims world wide? Amazing!
"Spastic' is an extremely offensive word."
So is 'Satanic Verses'

That's not the only game banned for use of "spastic" in the past couple of months!

I dunno, but where I'm from spaz/spastic are about as offensive as dumb or idiot. "Spaz" doesn't even mean "act disabled" here, it's more like "get really mad."

Yeah, it's like when I was a kid 'gay' used to mean lame, but then it meant homosexual and people got upset about me saying it.
