While I'm all about people being allowed to use their full range and color of expression, putting ANY type of "bad words" or stereotyping in a mass media item like a film is going to end up calling criticism upon its self.

And in this day and age, they knew this would attract attention. FREE PUBLICITY, in fact. Because, lets face it, who doesn't think of "Ben Stiller" and "retard" in the same line of thought.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

From IMDB: "We feel that the use of the word 'retard' throughout the film 15 or more times is done without any regard for the dignity of people with intellectual disabilities."

Theres two problems here

First off, they're only insulted by the number of times retard is said. It's *quantified*, which means that they're not offended by the use of retard if its under the number of 15.

Secondly - "intellectual disability"? We call that FUCKING STUPID where I come from. GFF is FULL of people with "intellectual disabilities" but none of them take offense to that. Why? Because people who have "intellectual disabilites" aren't "intellectual" enough to know when they should be insulted.

I suppose a rape victim is a VAGINAL INSERTION DISABILITY?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's not really the word itself but more or less how many times it is said.
Which doesnt make sense, since human nature makes us desensitized to something the more we do it. I can't stop saying the word "fuck" at work, for instance.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Perhaps they should use the term 'minimally exceptional'.
And perhaps you shouldn't bother to post everything you think of.

I was speaking idiomatically.

You of all people should know that some people are so lame, that every shot - no matter how cheap - should be taken at every possible convenience.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I doubt these complainers even saw the movie.
One of my favorite movie reviews was from a priest, protesting the release of Fight Club. It was something like "I don't need to step into a sewer to know that it stinks."

However, I agree with Deni on this

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
