Interesting that in a show where “dehumanizing” is a topic in a discussion about a movie that the intro uses the word “retarded” in a way that is supposed to be funny, but is anything but. There is nothing funny about being “retarded,” or having a “developmental disability” (the more politically correct term today). As a society we use a lot of everyday words as insults, like “girl” – “you throw like a girl” or “gay” – “that is so gay”. I thought we had gotten over the use of “retarded” as an insult, but apparently not.
I think you want to be a bit more careful that your intro actually reflects your values. The intro really colored my whole perception of the show.
