I agree with hensoneno, pretty tasteless. I like the Dead milkmen but always detested that song or anything that overtly made sport of the mentally challenged. There but for the grace of whatever power that be... Born or made so through accident or diseas

I thought the 'Takin' Retards to the Zoo' song was funny too, but I was a teenager then, I would never listen to it now. Let's not get all overly PC, the Milkmen were pretty funny most times. MY friends & I used to crack up over
