The ‘R’-word Jack is a character from the movie within the movie that makes fun of intellectually disabled people. In “Tropic Thunder,” he is frequently referred to as a “retard,” something the Special Olympics spoke out against when the film was initially released. “When I heard about it, I felt really hurt inside,” Special Olympics global messenger Dustin Plunkett said back in 2008. “I cannot believe a writer could write something like that. It’s the not the way that we want to be portrayed. We have feelings. We don’t like the word ‘retard.’ We are people. We’re just like any other people out there. We want to be ourselves and not be discriminated against.”

Was the party in Berlin?




No. I'd imagine it was in some place like Colorado. Berlin would be kind of random.

Thanks for doing a better job, than the thread creator yesterday, of protecting potential thread clickers from the potential offensive material inside??

It’s a movie character. No reason anyone should be offended. Were people outraged when tropic thunder put simple jack in the movie?

like I said, when you work closely and have a brand closely tied to the special Olympics and the Olympics in general, its not going to go over as well as it will for your buddy brad who you went to college with

If I was Shaun White and everytime someone asked me about the costume being offensive or insensitive(no matter how they worded it), I’d respond with “I’m sorry they feel that way” over and over in a Marshawn Lynch “I’m just here so I don’t get fined” esque way.
