Shoddy game pulled for offensive content.

Shoddy Brain Age series knockoff Mindquiz is in the process of being pulled from shelves because it contains a particular word that is considered particularly offensive for folks suffering from cerebral palsy.

“I thought it was absolutely appalling that a word like this should be used to describe someone who has not achieved very well,” said the caller, continuing, “My daddy also has cerebral palsy and he is in his mid-50s and this is a word that really offends my dad.”

What the word is seems to be unclear.
