    Now would that have been a better comment? Why not display my dislike of this guy's tone in the article it's wacky gadget blog after all - as stated above lol i'll stand up for what i think is right. I just don't think crackin' jokes at developmentally disabled people is funny, so what? They have hard enough lives already. Orly you make fun of "retarded" people, and the people who stick up for them your just a dork that called a "retard" in school and just have to puff you chest out and make fun of folks. Relax lol. I really do love all the replies though made me laugh.

    This is unacceptable. I don't care about the use of the word retarded as it's just a word, but flat out making fun of retarded people? Are you THAT insensitive?


    I can take commenters calling each other retarded, and making jokes around the word. You went beyond that, and made fun of the people themselves.


    I read the article, actually thinking that it was related to Down Syndrome (if you look at my avatar, that's what a person with DS looks like, that's my son). This was the last straw.


    I'm sorry for your callous ignorance, and good bye.

    @Alex7575: I'm sorry you were offended by the topic and some of the posts. It's difficult sometimes when comedy hits too close to home. Having lost friends to both cancer and AIDs, I know that humor involving those topics has lost it's appeal to me. And I've also learned that sometimes laughing at life's challenges helps ease the pain.


    You have a beautiful son. God bless.

    Anyone who reads Giz regularly knows NOTHING is sacred here (except the IPhone and His Royal Steveness), so I dont know why they would be surprised by this. It is insensetive yes, but this isnt group therapy, its a silly gadget blog. If this doesnt offend you, stick around, something will come up shortly that will.

    I actually work in the health care field around the mentally ill and developmentally disabled... and Mr. Frucci you lack of understanding exactly HOW hard it is to diagnose someone who cannot communicate there feelings and symptoms to you is sad. I'm not necessarily offended by your ignorance but I am sure someone will be. This is actually a very helpful tool for people who HAVE to treat these people. douche bag.

    How the fuck is this even funny? Gizmodo is the gutter of gadget websites due to it's constant cursing, and childish captions on photos, but this is really scraping the barrel.
