JimK:  This is retarded.

Mere days after first drawing attention on a disability issues blog (and eventually going under magnifying glasses at the NY Times and here at Defamer HQ), DreamWorks’s mock Web site for Simple Jack is gone.

Why, praytell?  Because of activist jackhole activist Patricia Bauer.  Defamer does an excellent job of demonstrating why Ms. Bauer is a jackhole:

Tropic Thunder does not depict “people with disabilities,” but rather Stiller’s portrayal of a bad actor depicting someone with disabilities — a grievous Hollywood standby for which Sean Penn, Cuba Gooding Jr., Dustin Hoffman, Juliette Lewis and that guy from Gigli among sundry other ‘retards’ of varying severity all owe far more urgent apologies.

What they said.  Read the whole thing and follow the various links they drop in to get the complete story, but the summary is this: Patricia Bauer is a jackhole who can’t tell the difference between mocking people who mock disabilities and mocking the disabilities themselves.  Jack.  Hole.

Pardon my french here, but What A Fucking TWAT!!!
How dense do you have to be to think that Stiller was just poking fun at other ACTORS and not the mentally challenged.  This would be great fodder for a RANT, cause I’m feeling a little pissed off by this douchebag.
