Tropic Blunder,

Stop the Thunder

"Tropic Thunder" is a new movie that contains extremely offensive material to our athletes and others with intellectual disabilities.  Starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr., it features a movie-within-the movie called “Simple Jack....Once upon a time there was a retard."

The "R-word" is hate speech -- choose to support our athletes by not seeing Tropic Thunder.

Visit www.r-word.org for more information about how you can help eliminate the demeaning use of the R-word and respect and value people with intellectual disabilities.
