Mind Quiz pulled for included offensive word

Apparently, the game included at least one offensive word, as it was pulled from UK shelves recently due to said word. As it was released in March, along with a PSP version back in October, one would wonder why it wasn't pulled sooner. Well, the word is not included in the PSP version, apparently, and is only included in the DS version.

So, why did it take so long for this word to be discovered? Well, it all comes down to one woman who has two family members with cerebral palsy. She was playing the game, discovered the word and contacted a BBC radio show, then it all snowballed from there. Ubisoft was quick to start grabbing up all available copies after the story became public, obviously, stating "As soon as we were made aware of the issue we stopped distribution of the product and are now working with retailers to pull the game off the market."

The article makes no mention of what exactly the offensive word is.
