Spastic UK = Someone who is a bit "nerrrmmumr"

A once popular putdown in the playgrounds.

I'm keeping mine got assured this was the only problem. Thought it was somethin major. Quite funny!

 

[cd02]

basically nothing happens.. the game plays fine.. we picked ours up friday morning before it was pulled and won't be returning it.. not just for one word.. the only down side to the game is when you're playing a board, mini game etc, it changes from widescreen to 4:3 but they're not planning on changing this so just gonna have to put up with it.

so they cleared the shelves yesterday morning/afternoon and haven't said when they plan to re-release it..

Gay? As in you are happy this happened?

Lmao I didn't mean the literal term for gay, I meant like the teenage slang term

That's silly. When I was a kid I use to just call people "british" if I wanted to make fun of them!

You are just too mature :yesnod:

Is it possible that this can be construed as offensive due to the mention of tragic train ticket. The terrorist attack on the british railway system that killed 50 + people may be very fresh in some peoples minds.... mmm I don't know just another theory. When the towers went down on 09-11-01 some movies delayed there openings to change scenes that involved the towers or story lines which involved terrorist actions. Maybe this a similar response.

No, it's the word Spastic. If you actually read the other posts you would see how almo pointed out that the wikipedia page I posted talks about another game that was recalled for the same word.

You can play it.

They just had to recall them because some of the copies weren't changed like they were suppose to have been.
