TimTaylor751647545500 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Why do the simplest forms of entertainment get turned into personal crusades by some? Groups Call for Boycott of ‘Tropic Thunder’ Film LOS ANGELES — More than a dozen groups on Monday called for a boycott of the film “Tropic Thunder,” citing what they described as the movie’s disregard for people with intellectual disabilities. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/12/business/media/12boycott.html?ref=business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin R. Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 The funniest thing is is that these weird douche-bags will in turn make their kids weird douche-bags who will in turn grow up to be weird douche-bags and/or sex offendors. Solution: DONT GO SEE THE FUCKING MOVIE. THIS IS AMERICA. YOU HAVE CHOICES. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WALK INTO THE FUCKING MOVIE THEATRE, PAY $18, AND THEN GET ONLINE AND BITCH AND MOAN AND TRY TO TAKE THE FUN AWAY FROM OTHERS WHO DO NOT HAVE PENT UP FUCKING SMALL MAN SYNDROME AND NEED TO FIND POWER IN SHUTTING DOWN A HILARIOUS FILM. FUCK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Not only that, but the jokes are completely satirical in nature. Its simply spoofing real Hollywood actors that play special needs characters, and use that as a stepping stone for critical acclaim, no matter how over-acted. How someone can not see that is beyond me. I have no problem with special interest groups (pun ... intended ?) that voice opinions, as we are all entitled to our opinion of *whatever*, but calling for an all out ban ... ridiculous.

Tripleskate Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 It's really funny when I'm taking tickets to hear people mention that Thunder is "offensive" and the majority of them are talking out of their asses because they haven't even seen it. People need to get over it, people are too sensitive today about the most little issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
