“R-Word” Outrage Continues For “Tropic Thunder”

August 13th, 2008 Posted By drillanwr.

The young man with Down Syndrome in the interview, Eddie Barbanell, was actually in the movie I mentioned “The Ringer” in which a man pretends to be ‘mentally retarded’ in order to win a bet on the outcome of the Special Olympics …

  3. Caligula

    I have a 450lb friend with a 7x T-shirt that says: “I fought Anorexia and Won!”…

    Lacking any sense of humor Tim Shriver has become just another condescending PC liberal asshole that sees this as an opportunity to spew the ideology of Change at the expense of the MR/DD community… Not to mention that in order to do this he has to completely ignore Obamas “Typical White Person and Clinging to their Guns and Religion statements…

    Tim Shriver has gone “Full Retarded” with this subject!

    “Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, ‘Rain Man,’ look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Count toothpicks to your cards. Autistic, sure. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, ‘Forrest Gump.’ Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain’t retarded. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard.”

    Great Idea! Maybe The Ponce Man would do an episode called “The Retarded THOUGHT Policeman”?

    Hey Tim…how long you been sucking off Obama? :gun:

  6. newhumandesign

    This movie is great. Loved it. :gun:

  7. ji

    :arrow: ji

    Calling someone a “Smarty Pants” does sound kinda Retarded doesn’t it? :lol:

    Donald Faison was put in whiteface for a scene in Scrubs, and I found it hilarious!

  10. skh.pcola

    Ah, shit. Cap’n Retard used the word “hope.” Next he’ll talk about “change.”

  11. T-Bagg "The Keeper of Secrets"

    Fuck this ass-hole. I wasn’t really looking forward to this movie. But I’m going to see it now. Stop trying to make Americans soft.

    retard is an apt description of so many in hollywood. I wonder if it was the retarded kids who first reacted to the language or the libtard leaders like this guy? In africa the libtard language nazis have convinced a large number of physically handicapped people here that the word handicap is derogatory. Its only derogatory is you THINK it is.

    sticks and stones people. language is not powerful enough to oppress! :oops:

    I personally thought it was fantastic, how about they shut up and just watch the movie and get over it.

  14. AmericanJarhead

    This retard issue is retarded. The protestors must be retarded to act so retarded about retardation. So, my assessment is that the use of retard in the film is not retarded and that only retards (read: liberals who may or may not be reatrded) are retarded.

  15. Spencer

    im gonna make a point to watch this movie this weekend.

    pfft retards.

  16. Chuck

    I saw the movie last night. Definately go see it. :beer:
