This is Stephen Colbert's PSA regarding the word "retard" on the March 30, 2011 episode for his show, Colbert Report. I just found this hilarious and thought other's should see this.

    Nigga you done went full retard

  • @Rachulie Freedom of speech is the government not being allowed to jail you for speaking (from back in Colonial times when the British would do exactly that, and actually does include some exceptions) and doesn't really apply to this. If you're going to use this an argument, you really should learn what it is first.

  • @iluvsunny1 Fuck You

  • Well played Colbert, well played. I have a developmental disability but that was possibly the funniest thing I have ever heard:)

  • banning words but should be about showing people that calling someone who is a little different than you a name is wrong.

  • I could understand a campaign to show the weight that words like that have on a kid if they are being called it because as someone with a disability being called a retard or retarded hurts. However so does being called slow or dumb but there aren't campaigns to ban those words because they have another meaning. I know that on occasion I have used retarded in an way of meaning something was unfair as have my friends when i am around and I wasn't hurt by this. The campaign shouldn't be about

  • After reading these mean spirited comments I no longer wish to live on this planet :(

  • @BoysDontCryShowers Ha ha ha I know right confusing!

  • Wait since he makes fun of conservatives is he still making fun of them or is he trying to prove a point?

  • dont use the r-word, its totally gay.

    don't use the g word, its retarded

  • Lol this campaign is retarded. I actually mean that. OOH some people find it offensive so let's ban it. Stupidity like this offends me, deeply, we should ban the people involved. Now it's obvious he is parodying it but the actual ad has comment approval -_-
