'Tropic' blunder
Submitted by Ann Marie Miani on Wed, 08/13/2008 - 2:28pm.Who would have thought that a movie would cause such a ruck … nevermind. I forget that sometimes people tend to take movies too seriously and they do cause a ruckus.
The latest ruckus has to do with “Tropic Thunder”, a Ben Stiller movie in which Robert Downey Jr. appears in blackface and they word “retard” is used … a lot.
What I find interesting is that the retard thing has pissed off more people than Robert Downey Jr. in blackface. Looks like race relations have come a long way if people aren’t upset about THAT.
