I'm surprised the guy's still alive! I remember high school antics...

[ForgetClassC]

Yeah, he's got like everything he could have against him, against him lol. I do think its fucked up that he wasn't able to move, and the principal sounded like a total tape recorder, lol she probably called the previous principal and was like, WHAT DO I SAY!?!?!?!

He wouldn't have lasted long in my school. I can't imagine anyone teasing him..lol

[gypski]

The only things funny about this are the morally challenged who think its funny. I've worked with the Special Olympics and seeing developmentally challenged compete in a number of athletic events and see their smiles when they accomplish the smallest achievements and get a medal shows some there is a human inside. Try working with developmentally challenged, and you will see how fortunate you really are. Comments like this just show how degrading some can be over an others misfortune. You should count your blessings that it doesn't happen to you. It would be a fitting punishment. :wtf:

hahaha......leave it to gypski. John Sewart spoofed this later that same night. That whole title was hilarious.....leave it to some overly sensitive baby to ruin it for everyone. ITS A JOKE!!! How many more strikes could that poor kid have? So sorry to gypski.....I forgot to say earmuffs didnt I dear?

I guess that makes it right??? John Stewart and the Daily Show must be getting hard up for laughs to pick on the disadvantaged. Being developmentally disadvantaged is only a joke to sicker people then they are. :wtf:

[frostedwonder]

Even if you take out the Mentally challenged part that kid has it ruff. Making that title is asking for shock value vs trying to be sensitive and bring to light his plight...After re-watching that clip I would say he isn't challenged mentally. He seems just as intelligent as his mother Imo. I would say his mother tells herself he is special needs because he is gay, it probably helps her cope small town logic is my guess. Watch the part where he speaks for himself. That is not typical for someone that would classify as challenge. Asperger's Syndrome maybe but were not talking Down Syndrome challenged.

[Islandborn]

Im sorry.......but ANY story is gonna shine unwanted attention on this poor kid. Seriously......NOT ONE adult in this kids life told him what was gonna happen? I bet his parents are WIERDOS.

Aloha,
Gypski

Please, relax, my friend.

Apologize to da starving children in New Guinea if it makes ya feel mo' betta when ya laugh, but funny is funny!

An' quit discriminatin' Brah!
Da kid ain't sick!
This is his 15 minutes of fame, and it, is freakin' funny!
Let him have this.

When that reporter wrote;

"Even in 2010, growing up gay isn't easy. Add in the complicating factors of being a mentally challenged, biracial guy who wants to wave around pom-poms in a small town, and you have a recipe for the most hellacious high school experience in Eastern Washington."

I thought, that poor kid.
But it's still damn funny, even to sweet old farts like me.

With deliberate indifference to political correctness.

Wee, itty, 'zard
