In the film, Speedman has made a bid for an Oscar by playing "Simple Jack," a developmentally disabled character. Other characters in "Tropic Thunder" dismiss Speedman's attempt to play what they refer to as a "retard." Representatives of the Special Olympics, the Arc of the United States, the National Down Syndrome Congress, the American Association of People with Disabilities and other groups met with studio executives last week to discuss the film, but DreamWorks did not make any changes.

"We are asking people not to go to the movie and hope to bring a consciousness to people about using derogatory words about this population," said Peter Wheeler, a spokesman for the Special Olympics, according to Reuters.

In a statement Sunday, Chip Sullivan, a DreamWorks spokesman, said the movie was "an R-rated comedy that satirizes Hollywood and its excesses and makes its point by featuring inappropriate and over-the-top characters in ridiculous situations."

Those people are morons. It's a movie with a fictional character.

Might as well ban movies with any "bad" guys, who kill or insult groups or people.

There's no logic behind it what so ever.

People use racial slurs in movies. Doesn't make the movie racist. It's a character, that's his personality.

Die Special Olympics bitch.

To me, use of excessiveness in language, violence,
sex etc should be determined by the usefulness of
these to advance the story and add to the characters.
Also, the movie shouldn't be just about these things,
i.e. characters that make fun of retards.
If you're just putting these things in movies to create
controversy or to subliminally send out your beliefs
then it should be taken as trash.
