Declarative Statements

It’s stupid for people to protest Tropic Thunder.

I’m not saying they don’t have the right to or anything. But protesting a movie because people use the word “retard” is silly.  The movie is making fun of actors who play retarded characters in order to get oscars/recognition.  It’s like Mr. Show with The Crack’d Mirror and The Crack’d Mirror 2: Goin’ Crackers.  Who cares? They’re not making fun of retarded people. They’re making fun of societal attitudes that infantalize and patronize retarded people.  Using the word doesn’t hurt anyone, doesn’t mean a thing. People are too fucking sensitive.
