Mentally Challenged lack wherewithal to understand that Tropic Thunder boycott does more good than harm
According to communist propaganda rag The New York Times, a differently-abled coalition is calling for a national boycott of Ben Stiller’s upcoming comedy Tropic Thunder, because of its copious use of the word “retard.”
Titter-titter.
Special Olympics chairman Timothy “Timmy!” Shriver is even calling for a congressional condemnation of the movie’s “hate speech,” and for stronger federal support of mongoloids.
After a private screening earlier this week, David C. Tolleson, executive director of the National Down Syndrome Congress (this shit just writes itself) had this to say:
“I came out feeling like I had been assaulted.”
Sexy.
So wait, this movie makes fun of retards and I’m supposed to NOT go see it? That’s like coming over to my house with a DVD and saying hey, Natalie Portman shows her clam in this movie — and not circa now Natalie Portman but circa The Professional Natalie Portman, back when she was twelve and hot – so let’s NOT watch it, alright? Yeah, because that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Not watch it. As a matter of fact as soon as you leave the room I’m gonna sit down with this here bottle of Jergen’s and NOT watch that DVD, in slow-mo, for like six hours straight.
You’ll notice everyone calling for this boycott is someone of NORMAL intelligence speaking on behalf of the retarded. Hey, here’s an idea: Why not let some of your water-heads watch this movie and see what they think? Because they might find this shit hilarious. It’s like when you watch a movie and there’s a joke about how black people like fried chicken. Inevitably the only people laughing in the theater are the black people, leaving the white people to sit there looking all uncomfortable, not sure if it’s okay to laugh or not. Newsflash: You don’t make it to retarded adulthood without developing some sense of humor about yourself and your condition. Fuck, its pretty much the only thing you DO develop.
But the most troubling aspect of this story is that it marks the beginning of a dangerous trend. If it’s a congressionally condemnable offense to make jokes at the expense of the tardeds, you know that fat people are next. Then comes ugly folks, the gays, Amish, Steven Seagal, people getting hit it the nads with things, AIDS patients, midgets… are we supposed to not laugh at MIDGETS? Seriously? Next thing you know we’re living in a perfect world of peace and harmony and absolutely nothing funny ever happening, like if Suddenly Susan were the only show on TV and we were required by law to watch it.
This is truly the stupidest boycott I’ve ever heard of. Whoever thought of it must be retarded. Oh, wait…
