  Jammin to Black Eyed Peas (BEP) on the way in to work this morning.. "Yo Mama - shake that beat that make you go Mama..." - kickin'! (imagine myself clubbin, up on stage - shakin my ass.. Yeah - IMAGINE - 'cause I don't get out much anymore =).. But I digress.. So track 3. "Let's get retarded" - doesn't the radio version go "Let's Get it Started"?? Am I right on this one? If so, I'm wondering why they had to edit it? Is "retarded" sensitive to the public listener? I mean "retarded" isn't like Juvenille's latest Slow Motion - "She fucked up from the charm,She love the way the dick stay hard from 12 till early in the morn..." - I understand why that edit that stuff.. but retarded? Is it sensitive because it's not PC? Do the radio editors look at "retarded" as an equality-sensitive word where it could be offensive to those persons who are physically challenged (is that the PC term of the year??). Perhaps they really mean the original definition: re·tard1 urlLink ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-tärd)v. re·tard·ed, re·tard·ing, re·tards v. tr. - To cause to move or proceed slowly; delay or impede. Maybe BEP wants everyone to slow-the-f*&$-down and enjoy life..?
Or maybe retarded just wasn't the right word for the song in the first place.. I imagine this song playin up in the club, everyone singin.. "Let's get retarded" - then the music stops.. Did we all just say "retarded".. I think of Cartman and his attempt at Special Olympics "Deerrr.. I'm retarded".. BEP - if you're gonna get censored, do it for a good reason - Retarded doesn't cut it.
