Over in Ye Olde World, the United Kingdom to be exact, Mario Party 8 has been recalled. Why? For using the term "Spastic". For those of you who have no idea what that means, spastic [in the U.K] is a term which refers to people with a neurological disorder called cerebral palsy. Basically, spastic is not quite as politically correct as the U.K wants it, so they have made Nintendo recall the game in order to remove the word. Censorship much?

I'm sick of people being like, omgz t3h spastic. It shouldn't be a PC term it's, spastic, it sounds like jelly or something, but t3h people will be offendedzor! Its just like saying retarded, the only people that are offended are people that know people personally who are disabled, just because someone is disabled and people accidentily misuse the term doesnt mean you have to throw a hissy fit >_>.
Political correctness in general is just retarded
