Today's Political Correctness Gag Moment

VH1's "I Love The 80s Strikes Back: 1986"- during a segment on "L.A. Law", one chick referred to a character as "the retarded guy."
And they fucking bleeped out "retarded."
Excuse me while I go write a subtle note of protest on a brick and throw it through the VH1 censor's window.

I thought the correct term was 'handi-tard', but I could be wrong.
