_!_READ ME! this does not make fun of anyone handicapped by any circumstance beyound their control_!_

I've been screengrabbing vendetta's sometimes spazzy AI and was bored today, so I Paint Shop Pro-ed one I found ammusing, the workmanship of it is a little bit poor, but fewh I'm no computer artist.
Here's hoping someone gets the joke...

Pretty funny,and the workmanship is adequate for the job. I think you mean "mentally CHALLENGED" however.

actualy, its a throwback to a picture in which a kid is depicted pushing a pull door with all his might. Above the door is written: "saint (such and such)'s school for the mentaly gifted."

Actually, it says "Midvale School for the Gifted". ;-)

yep, that would be the one, my memory was a little bit sketchy since I haven't seen that work in a good 4 or 5 years, but still I was close.
