Most of what you hear in those Mike Nabuurs interstitials that air endlessly on Funny 820 is said in jest. But the one running repeatedly on the station in the last little while has declared war on a word that regularly turns up in comedy bits.
 
It’s referred to on air as the “R” word (short for “retarded”) and the station has partnered with the Special Olympics to either edit it out of all of its bits or not play those offending stand-up pieces anymore.
 
The problem is that Nabuurs admits they have some 20,000 cuts in the rotation and they can’t find them all. So they’re asking listeners to let them know if the forbidden word sneaks past them, so they can remove it for good.
 
Don’t know if this is just a promotional gimmick or a genuine forever movement, but it sounds sincere and it’s probably a good idea, overall.
