There is a new peanut butter advertisement here in Australia....Where parents say that their son is 'Nuts'..then they put a picture up of the jar of peanut butter on screen with the slogan 'Kraft Peanut Butter..The Right kind of Nuts' Really derogatory to those with Mental Illness I feel, as saying someone is 'Nuts' is a slang term for mentally Ill. There are also dreadful slang terms for paraplegics and those that are brain damaged, yet these terms have fallen into disuse for obvious reasons. When is the world going to catch up, and stop denigrating & ridiculing the Mentally Ill?
