So as not to cause offence, I have provided a link to the image that purportedly shows the problem. DO NOT CLICK ON IT IF YOU THINK IT MAY OFFEND YOU. The problem is apparently similar to the last recall, for the DS game MindQuiz.......

Anyway, clicky HERE

Apparently, the word "spastic" is now the spawn of satan, so last I heard, the UK was indeed taking the games off the shelves.

I'm confused...spastic means "crazy or ecstatic" in the U.S. where the slang term originated...

did ya see this bit, not the first time its happed lol

On June 29th 2007, Ubisoft of France pulled one of their games called Mind Quiz: Your Brain Coach, for referring to players who did not perform well at the game as "Super Spastic" which can be construed in the UK as being offensive. The company stated "As soon as we were made aware of the issue we stopped distribution of the product and are now working with retailers to pull the game off the market."
