Meredith and Friends on the Internet

So there's a lot of controversy - OK, well, maybe just a bit of controversy - surrounding the use of the word "retarded" in Tropic Thunder.  Considering the movie also has Robert Downey Jr. in blackface, the producers ought to be pretty pleased.  The movie uses the word so heavily because it's poking fun at Hollywood's patronizing portrayals of mentally disabled.  With that in mind, for your viewing pleasure, here are some wonderful clips from Riding on the Bus with my Sister.  (PS - Mere, I still can't embed videos directly into my posts.  This site is retarded!)
