Linky no worky.
So the word Retard is off the table now too? That's weak.
Carlos Mencia's career will be over.

Leave it to you to find the silver lining.

Maybe he can steal from Dane Cook and create some kind of vortex/vacuum.

How do you Mexicanize "filth flarin-frarin filth!!"
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.

Hooray for having balls.
Not that I would ever hijack a thread or anything, but I bet this movie is lame:

Look how big he looks, though!

Holy crap!
Wow.
:o
He looks silly. Jake can be a good actor, but he doesn't have the character gravitas to pull of a role like this.

I can't wait to see Tropic Thunder.
And no, I can't really see Jake Gyllenhaal in a manly man role.
I may go see it tomorrow.
Jake looks....no. Doesn't work for me.

All this hoopla over a word and I'd be willing to bet, it's used a handful of times at best and probably about as much as the word fat, or dumb, or moron in other films. Why aren't these words just as offensive?
Also, I'm anxious to see Downey Jr. playing a "dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude!"
He looks too funny.
The trailer for Tropical Thunder was hilarious.
Mockery in any form, or for any purpose or directed at anyone, especially those least able to defend themselves, is neither funny nor acceptable. (http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/08/12/shriver.thunder/index.html)
This guy is not only a retard, he's an obtuse idiot. Mockery in any form? Really? GFY. You completely miss the point, not just in Tropic Thunder but in comedy in general.
I thought it was really funny.
They are making a huge deal out of nothing, really. The only person that would be offended is Sean Penn...but that is easy to do, anyway.
The shot at Sean Penn was funny.
Never go full retard.
I thought the movie was funny, but I didn't think it was hilarious.
