Lol! I was gonna post something he could have said but remembered it'd probably get me banned :P

Weird, they had it in Asda's for 30 quid about 20 mins ago though. This just shows how pathetic people are being lately. It's said spastic, big deal, who cares. No need to recall a game over it.

A few weeks ago a different game was banned in the UK as well for calling you a spastic if you got a bad score in something.

MP8 came out here 2 weeks ago and it has the word as well (Plus Bowser calls you a m0r0n), hasn't been recalled. Played it earlier today, in fact.

I don't take it as offensive at all, but for the same reason some soccer mom got angry over spastic being in Mind Training (I think that was the game), some people could take offense at the game calling them a m0r0n.

Spastic is a bad word? Since when? Seems to be a pretty stupid reason for recalling a game.

Well it's not a very nice word to say to someone who does have problems like that and is normally offensive.
Very very dumb reason to recall a game though.
I actually laughed when I first saw it on this topic XD

God, how I hate political correctness! Everything needs to be sugar-coated, these days. Major BS.

Hmm, so I guess a new Mario game with an adult theme is out of the question?
