The L Word

A Irish man, is calling for a Nintendo DS Scrabble game published by Ubisoft to be recalled after discovering that the word "lesbo" is counted in its anagram section. The man was playing Junior Scrabble 2007 with his 7-year-old daughter, but halted when the word appeared on screen.
He said, "We were stuck trying to find the last five-letter anagram so I hit the give-up option and the term 'lesbo' appeared on the screen. I nearly fell off my chair. The term 'lesbo' is a slang name intentionally meant to cause offense. I looked it up on the website dictionary.com just to make sure I wasn't overreacting, and it described the word as a noun, slang, disparaging and offensive."
