    Yes! That's in Oxnard. I took a very similar picture. NOT PC.

    yeah but people stopped using the term "retarted" a long time ago. I really couldn't believe they actually had a sign up like that. I still bought 4 records though.

    totally reminds me of "There's Something About Mary" when Matt Dillon is talking to Cameron Diaz all trying to impress her and he's like

    "yeah I work with retards"

    "retards???"

    "yeah, those goofy bastards are just about the best thing I've got going in this crazy world"

  • This one is across the street from Battered Women's Thrift Store in Ventura.

    as a special ed teacher, I have to say this is definitely not the current term for someone with MR, the PC term is "person with mental retardation", always having the person first- not "austistic kid" but "child with autism", not "disabled lady" but "Lady with a disability"

    In one of my Spec Ed classes we saw lists of old terms for people with MR- retard, idiot, feeble-minded, moron etc etc. The lexicon is always changing and there is always this discussion...

    They had an episode where the Surreal Life people bowled against some mentally challenged folks and the super model who was a judge on Americas Next Top Model called one of the people a retard like in front of everybody. I forget her name.

  • I saw that episode. Very ignorant, especially from someone who should know better.

    My girl works with special ed kids all day every day. We refer to them simply as kids, or by their specific condition.


  • Thanks... A little embarrassing.

  • Saw this on the wall at an auto center recently.

    I recognized all the other brands... but this was a new one to me.

    So when you pick up your clothes, do they overcharge you and say:

    Just for frontin', you got that ass waxed[/b] (insert echo)

  • Canibus - Get Retarded

    "I-I-I, want, to.."
    "G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
    "G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
    "Get re-Get re-Get retarded"
    "G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
    "I, want, to.."
    "G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

    [Canibus]
    Yo -- niggaz is phony frontin like they Master of Ceremonies
    None of you suckers are even remotely close to me
    To be nice I sacrifice things like no sleep
    I keep a library of lyrics on microfiche
    Creating concepts so deep, niggaz quote me
    They rewind and interpret my rhymes to they homies
    I did things beyond your flows, eons ago
    It's inevitable in ninety-eight I'ma blow
    Ever since eighty-four, I've been in it to win it
    But see back then we used to battle by spinnin on the ce-ment
    You can't even absorb the rhymes I record
    or resolve the deep laws of the physics involved
    I travel to the end of the universe and beyond
    Parsecs, out of range from a cellular StarTec
    From the galaxy of Andromeda; I puzzle niggaz
    like crop circles and other unexplained phenomena

    Chorus: Canibus

    Aiyyo, nine out of ten of these rap artists is garbage
    "G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
    You spineless, rhymeless, niggaz is heartless
    "Get re-Get re-Get retarded"
    Aiyyo, I came to see that hip-hop is never tarnished
    "G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
    So I {*echoes*}
    "I, want, to.."
    "G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

    [Canibus]
    Aiyyo, all I really want is you niggaz to stop bitin
    All I really want is you niggaz to start writin
    All I really want is you niggaz to be original
    and start spittin some lyrical shit that I can listen to
    You haven't written the perfect rhyme yet
    You don't even know the sequences to the Human Genome Project
    You haven't come to terms with your God yet
    And you refuse to believe in Unidentified Flyin Objects
    When I bomb shit, I get retarded; probably more than you
    bargained
    I'm talkin about rippin mic off your arm shit
    Hype shit, blow up a mic shit, you might get
    beat the fuck up in broad daylight with a nighstick
    To the British, I'm Ghandi
    To the Japanese I'm an American pilot flyin over Nagasaki
    To the AIDS patient I'm your last antibody
    Sittin and waitin for a cure from modern biology

    Chorus

    [Canibus]
    Yo I be lookin directly into the human eye to see if you pussy
    And completely ruin your ability to lie to me
    I pull a nine on a bully, cock back the cannon
    God damnit, I don't think you fully understand it
    Ask nine out of ten niggaz on the planet
    who the best is, the question'll go unanswered
    til I step up, to the front line with rhymes
    Revin my engines like they were powered by Lemans
    Murderin niggaz with lyrics manufactured within
    my DNA's double-helix, I leave you in troubled spirits
    I'm absolutely the purest, breed of MC
    from the United States of America to Europe I deserve it
    However you wanna word it, I'm perfect
    Touch my microphone on accident and get murdered on purpose
    Motherfucker!
    "I, want, to.."
    "G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

    Chorus

    "G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"
    "Get re-Get re-Get retarded"
    "G-G-G-G-G-G-Get retarded"

  • I would guess that there are at least 200 thrift stores in the US with "retarded" in their name.

    That's funny, I've never seen one. Ever. Ev-AR.



  • I think a lot of those charitable organizations are still named "Retarded Citizens." There is an Association of Retarded Citizens here in SF.




  • I buddy took this picture.


    Damn. Is that a Rob Roskop with bones III wheels?

    NICE!!

  • aside from the strange name, that store is pretty hype... i've posted about it before

    i've found a couple 45 raers there, but i usually come up on clothes, as 80% of my wardrobe comes out of that store... 805 what!

    man this doesnt even phase me, these are all over iowa and nobody even thinks anything of it anymore..haha

    theres probably at least 5 of these within a 10 mile radius of my house, and every formerly locally owned gas station has been turning into one of these..

    Girl: "Nice shirt - where'd you get it?"

    Bearded D: "Retarded Citizen's Thrift Store - where I get all my clothes!"

    Girl: "Real funny, jerk-off!"

    Bearded D: "No, really, I'm serious!"

    Girl: "Jeezus, you're not even really Bearded D! What the fuck?!"

    This hasn't anything to do with Thrift stores, but we have som funny called places here in Norway. First its Analveien, as would mean Anal Road in english. Then it's a place called Hell. Tourists always want to visit Hell. There's also a blues festival down there, as of course is called Hell Blues Festival. You could go check www.hellblues.com for their site, and they have a link there called "Where is Hell?"

    On the other hand hell means luck in norwegian, so it isn't so funny for us norwegians.
