Watching Wolf of Wall Street on FXM and they bleeped out the word retarded a couple of times. Cock and shite weren't censored though. I just find it odd that a lot of curse words are allowed but retarded is a no go.

Retarded is a perfectly fine word that has been ruined by political correctness.

Unless you have a child that might fit that OLD definition.
Put yourself in their position, to me it's an easy choice.

FCC rules only apply to over the air broadcasts (networks like ABC, CBS, nbc), so basically all cable shows can say whatever they want on them, but have been scared to not do it by advertisers

you shouldn't be watching such fine cinematic excellence with the chance of censorship. I bet they make the midget toss look like full size people!

I was eating dinner with the in Iaws earlier and this subject came up.

I decided that it’s like the “n”word.

As long as there’s no hard “tard” in the way you say it, then it’s ok.

So I said “ruhtahd”. Try it, you’ll see what I’m talmbout

I was watching an old Battle of the Network Stars and Gil Gerard, who played Buck Rodgers of the 25th century was talking about his work with special olympics. It was weird to hear him speak about “one retarded boy that becam a special friend.”

Close, but it's just the hard "r" sound.

I'm pretty sure they omitted the whole scene all together.

You don't call retarded people retards. It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they're acting retarded.

I get that but it's a fricking movie that slings pussy, cock , and shite around every other word. Not to mention tons of drug use on top of all the sex. Just very odd to censor that one word when almost everything else is fair game.

So you have a retarded kid? How does me calling something retarded have anything to do with the fact that your kid is retarded. Not everything is about you.

Do parents of dumb kids get offended when you call something stupid?

Just think, if you were born a retarded American Indian, you would have no identity at all now.
