Protesters find no humor in ‘Tropic Thunder’
By Behind The Scenes TV on Aug 12, 2008 in Uncategorized
An estimated 200 demonstrators, some in wheelchairs, picketed Monday night’s premiere of Tropic Thunder to protest the movie’s use of the word “retard” and what they consider its offensive portrayal of people with intellectual disabilities. By the time the movie started the crowd was down to about 50 people.
