OK, that's really up there with "Meet the Feebles" in terms of Really Bad Taste! What can I say? Making fun of the "mentally challenged" (is that the PC term these days?) is probably bad but not nearly as bad as cutting their funding for real while claiming to "care about" children (does this ring a bell in CA I wonder)? I guess I'd feel better if mentally challenged people were posting wicked satires of those goofy three-digit IQ folks on their own web sites, but when it comes down to it, they really aren't likely doing that (for sad and obvious reasons). So go ahead: laugh, damnit. But make sure you write your legislator and keep the funding going!
