If anyone was gonna boycott "Tropic Thunder", I thought for sure it would be the blacks, but the retards struck first. Checkmate! Reuters says…
"We are asking people not to go to the movie and hope to bring a consciousness to people about using derogatory words about this population," said Peter Wheeler, spokesman for Special Olympics, one of 22 disability groups nationwide protesting the satire.
The groups plan to picket the movie's premiere on Monday evening in Los Angeles's Westwood community.
He said the groups are particularly offended by the film's repeated use of the word "retard" regarding a character, Simple Jack, played by Stiller in a subplot about an actor.
I don’t know what they’re bitchin about because from what I can tell "Simple Jack" is one of those magical retard movies. Where the retards simple goodness teaches everyone a little about life and a lot about love. But it’s not like that in real life. I threw a baseball to a retard one time thinking his childlike innocence would inspire everyone with awe, but he just sat there and let it hit him in the teeth. Then he rolled around on the ground screaming in pain, probably just to make me look bad. That guy was a real jerk!
even if you win the special olympics, you're still retarded
I would think it is mandatory to be retarded to actully pay to see this movie
<==== I'm going to see it tonight!
those protesters are a bunch of retards
protesting is retarded
they've been retarded by this movie's offensivness
I thought the retards wanted to be called Disabled, or challenged, or something like that. This just reminds people that the people who rejected being labeled retards are just retarded.
Nice one, Brandon103, you need a *bah-dum-chish!!* to follow that up, like this:
What's better than winning the Special Olympics?? … Not being retarded. *bah-dum-chish!!*
i hope the theatres they are picketting are whell chair accessable
Fuck them, I'm boycotting retards.
You know what would be funny? If Peter Wheeler, spokesman for Special Olympics, was a cripple. Because then, y'see, he'd be in a wheelchair. Wheeler. Wheelchair. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! I'm here all week folks. Please, try the fish.
Will they be Short Bussing them to the protests?
I wish I had a penny for everytime someone calls me RETARD!
i hope that guy from "life goes on is there" we was a funny tard.
I know that it really is important to be sensitive to people's needs. However, by protesting it, people are going to be more likely to see it or at least see what has everyone so excited. In the end, it will work against the protesters, in my opinion.
Oh jeez. Boycotting a movie because it uses the word 'Retard'. Political correctness is just a tool used by the Left in order to stifle freedom of speech.
let's see…..how many more minutes until the morality squad shows up on this one?
This story reminds me of the days when I used to be an asshole -'cause I'm all class now- and I used to fuck with this retard who sat in front of me on the bus every day. He'd always sit his lunch box down on the ground, and every single day I'd reach underneath and undo the two snaps on the lid. Without fail, he'd stand up when we got to school and grab his lunchbox and it'd open up and spill his lunch contents all over the ground. Every fucking day. Dude never caught on to my hijinks. But if there's a God, you can be sure as shit he noticed and should be giving me a nice case of cancer any day now for retribution.
SEEJ is on a roll, folks !!!! … a roll of wheels.
… yeah, I'm the fish.
I'm not seeing this movie because of the R word being used. It's 2008 and Ben Stiller dropped the ball on this one.
Maybe the movie will tank at the box office as a result.
Mike
That's weetawded.
hahaha, DUMB f'n retards!
anyone see The Other Sister?
A mentally retarded girl proves herself to be every bit as capable as her "perfect" sister when she moves into an apartment and begins going to college
