Advocates for disabled to protest "Tropic Thunder"

[cardinal biggles]

I was sort of sitting on the fence about Tropic Thunder, and the only reason I wanted to see it was for Robert Downey, Jr.'s performance; Ben Stiller is hit-and-miss, and Jack Black annoys the shit out of me most of the time.

But when I heard that the head of the Special Olympics had nothing better to do with his free time than organize a protest over the use of the word "retard," this jumped to "Must-See" status.

Well let me be the first to congratulate the protestors. Their tireless efforts have probably denied the film tens of dollars in ticket sales!
