  • Great message, amazing video. Proud of these two!

  • Johnny Knoxville and Eddie Barbanell are both awesome! And so is "The Ringer!"

  • Johnny Knoxville, Eddie Barbanell = PROS!

  • Hmm some people are retarded, some people behave retarded but You cant blame them for it (wel most of them), You can call it mentaly challenged, yeah right ity still means the same, what do you call your fridge, a closet that keeps my things cool in it, come on.

    It's a whole other thing in using the retarded word to hurt people.

    just because someone has down syndrom does not mean he is retarded or it's ok to call him that to hurt him.

  • @putzfrau89 Why does it have to be "African-American" and not just "American"? Does it really matter all that much unless you're being descriptive? And if you are being descriptive, shouldn't it be alright to just say they're brown because you're not meaning offense in anyway whatsoever? Just like the R word, if you're being descriptive with no harm intended, like in music or a doctor, it's perfectly acceptable in my opinion.

  • @digthatfunk i think you're stretching a little bit. "nigger" is clearly stigmatized but saying someone is "black" isn't. while the media might lead you to feel differently(only "african-american" is acceptable)being friends with many people that are black people has shown me that its debatable if any "african-american" finds the qualitative "black" offensive. retarded is offensive. disabled is still offensive because of what the word itself implies. there is nicer language, why not use it?

  • What do you mean by "THEM" ??

  • the funny thing is, the only people I call retarded are people I actually love.

  • i cant take him seriously, hes just so funny
