Site SearchSeveral mental disability groups are caling for a boycott of the new film “Tropic Thunder” because of its excessive use of the word “retard” and other questionable content.
Representatives for these groups screened the film – which comes out this week – and found it to be offensive.
I was planning to see the film until now.
Do boycotts by advocacy groups affect whether you see a movie or not?
Normally, I am not affected by a boycott but this one made me think. I find humor at the expense of the mentally disabled to be sick.
Has the boycott affected your opinion on the movie?
My husband was already planning to boycott the film due to his intense dislike for Jack Black! LOL

We're just way too easily offended these days.
