Today I read that some disability advocacy groups were going to boycott Tropical Thunder because of this scene the studio released last week.
Really? This scene? What are they slow? This scene is obviously about actors discussing whether or not they can pretend to be retarded. No insensitivity here in my opinion. Nothing about retarded people at all. Not one mention of Downs Syndrome. Not even a mention of Corky from Life Goes On. Man, I loved that show. Let's just stop being offended by every little thing that goes on in a movie. Don't want to see the movie? Fine. It's just that this whole "I don't like the message of your movie even though I haven't seen it so I'm going to try and get everyone else to not see it either" mentality needs to be abolished. It doesn't solve anything. And it makes you and your group look like a bunch of oppurtunists who don't understand the concept of context. End Rant.
