For Kennedy and all of the other precious babies out there.
Show Hollywood that making fun of special needs kids is wrong!
Here is what happens:
“Tropic Thunder” is a comedy produced by DreamWorks/Paramount, and directed and written by Ben Stiller, who also stars in the movie.
The plot includes a group of pampered actors, lost in the jungle while making a war movie. Tugg Speedman, Ben Stiller’s character, is a fading action hero who missed his Oscar opportunity with his portrayal of Simple, a character with an intellectual disability. Speedman’s portrayal of Simple is a movie within the movie, “Simple Jack.”
Already “Tropic Thunder” has presented audiences with a new go to phrase, “Never Go Full Retard.”
And for much less than the cost of a session with one of my son’s therapists, you can purchase a t-shirt declaring to the world that you are a Full Retard.
I have to tell you this, I am disappointed that Stiller, Black, and several others of the actors in this movie allowed this hate crime to go forward. I am appalled at their lack of concern for the feelings of the people that they are hurting. And I know that they would get in big trouble had they came up with a similar slang phrase with the N word, or defaming homosexuals!
