Internet Explorer = Retarded Kid in a Helmet.

Would it be acceptable to depict IE as a ditzy girl, a pigeon-chested homosexual, or a black student with a failing report card? No.

But for some reason, the image a glue-eating retard is fair game. Why?

(FWIW the helmet should signify autistic, not retarded, because because autistic children are the ones that tend to be self-injurious. And autistics' IQs are all over the place. But I don't think that cartoon is trying to say that Internet Explorer has trouble relating to people because it processes information very differently from the rest of us.)
