From IMDB: "We feel that the use of the word 'retard' throughout the film 15 or more times is done without any regard for the dignity of people with intellectual disabilities."
Theres two problems here
First off, they're only insulted by the number of times retard is said. It's *quantified*, which means that they're not offended by the use of retard if its under the number of 15.

That's how a lot of censorship occurs when it comes to language. It's not really the word itself but more or less how many times it is said. I guess the more times it is said, the more offensive it becomes. Imagine if Tropic Thunder had used retard 16 times! The horror!
Out of sheer curiosity, how many of the mentally disabled who were at the protest were actually aware of what was going on?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
