I want to do a call in advice show on my local cable station, and have a crazy and retarded, yet very entertaining friend of mine co-host. Will this be viewed as exploitation?

only if you continue to call us crazy and retarded people crazy and retarded...we prefer different terms for our illnesses/disabilities/talents taht we have to live with.

Personally, I wear it like a badge of honor. Why should television belong exclusively to the bland and well-adjusted?

It's a tought road to hoe. I appoligize if I offended anyone with my use of the word crazy or retarded. It's just that some people take it to be quite condisending if you call them "challanged" or "ill".

Before it was co-opted into an insult, retarded was the medical term for what was then called being an idiot. And before idiot was co- opted into being an insult, it too was a medical term. How long until "challanged" just means moron? The same goes for all slurs, racial, sexual, whatever. They all start out clinical, hen get derogitory. I wish their was a way to reverse the process of insultification of terms, but there is not.

I doubt N*gger or Cunt ever started out as clinical terms.

PATIENT: "Doctor, what's wrong?"
DOCTOR: "You appear to have a cunt inflammation. Here, take two of these every day for a week."
PATIENT: "Thanks!"

That's one doctor who would be severely beaten by my wife...

My wife does not comprehend anything I tell he to do, especially with her mobile phone and email. If she wasn't foriegn, I would think she was retarded / Crazy. She isn't very entertaining, but I can make her available for private viewings / Videos (Not suitable for broadcast). She is 5'5" dark hair with oriental looks. Anything goes (Take advantage)
