Groups boycotting Tropic Thunder

Mental disability groups protest 'Tropic Thunder' - Yahoo! News

I read this and I cant help but shake my head. These people are so concerned about their hurt feelings. Its a comical movie, GET OVER IT!!!
I too have a loved one with special needs and I dont see boycotting this. I guess maybe my skin is a little tougher than the rest. All I can say is that they need to take it with a grain of salt and not worry that it is a direct slam at them.

This movie is made to offend absolutely everyone. Before these idiots started complaining about the website it had 36K views now I have seen stories on the movie in many places because thee morons are starting to complain. Dreamworks should send them a check for the great advertising.

the movie will probably be stupid (but the funny kind of stupid for some). protesting a stupid movie is..........(drum roll please) stupid. its a waste of time to protest a stupid movie. Now, Batman, thats a movie to protest. vigilante justice is not something to idolize, or support.

Bookmarking this page. I'll come back and remind some folks about it when they are outraged about a movie which offends them, perhaps something a negative movie about soldiers or positive movie about gay cowboys.

My girlfriend LOVES that movie...asked me to watch it with her.

While I wasn't offended, I wasn't impressed either.

What a lame movie that was...

It's getting to point where saying "Hello" to a stranger on the street is offensive to someone. I support the people who are tough enough to do something that will take some heat, and ignore all of the people who just want to hear their own voices. I'm not saying that mentally challenged people deserve to be made fun of, but this movie isn't a direct insult to any person or organization, some people are just to thick to realize that it's meant to be humerous and to take your mind off of all of the idiots out there.
