'Tropic' blunder

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.
