I think those who made that ad are the retards. I mean, this is getting ridiculous. My sister was studying to became a professor and she commented that now they can't use the word "handicapped" . Instead, now they have to use "persons with different abilities". So, she said: "and which are those abilities? drooling? Those are kids with special NEEDS and to negate that reality is a torture for them!"

And this is where I stand as well. I have lots of respect for people, and I care about people. Thus, I respect their DIFFERENCES, what makes them PEOPLE instead of NUMBERS. Whether it is they're blonde, black, fat, thin, have some illness or special condition, etc. And that respect includes making jokes about them. The same way I do about EVERYBODY else and the same way I accept people making jokes about me.

Putting people in a ghetto of "good will" is discrimination too. And a very special kind, the kind you can't fight against because... well, they're doing it because of their good and warm heart. So yes, now they're discriminated, their special needs aren't recognized and if you try to integrate them you're close to (or worse than) a criminal
