Damn, How Many Kennedys are there?

Just when you thought the Dead Kennedys should not be attempting to recruit anymore family members, you have another one come out of the woodwork.
The Kennedy Family has Nothing Better to Do
The fine print at the top points out that he is nephew to the "Big 3" Kennedys, and brother of Maria Shriver, cousin to the one that was a bad pilot.
The article speaks for itself, someone who had a perfect life growing up (give or take a few transportation issues in the family) gets super upset that someone might be offended by a word in a movie. A few interesting notes here:

1. Not offended at all by the blackface character. I was surprised that he stopped with the one crusade.
2. For someone that once helped produce a Dreamworks picture and should know better, he sure seems to not understand that Spielberg and his buddies sold Dreamworks to Paramount and are not involved in this decision.
3. Boycotts rarely work. Retarded ones NEVER do. (Yes, my choice of words here was intentional.
4. I'd love to be the guy that understood the situation a little bit more and tried to ask Stiller and the studio heads to pull the film. "Excuse me Hollywood guys, we know it took you like 10 years to get this off the ground, and that you spent 90 million dollars on the most expensive rated R comedy ever made - but you mind just calling the whole thing off?"

My proposals for a response. Any or all of the following should be used.

1. Reinstate the jokes and marketing that were pulled. Even if not nationally - put a bunch in place outside this guy's houses(s).
2. More DUI and private plane crash jokes.
3. More Salvation Army jokes. (if there is such a thing)
4. A new commercial with a slow zoom on Tim Shriver's picture with the slogan "Don't Go Full Retard, Go See Tropic Thunder instead...."
5. If you know a mentally challenged person - take them to see the movie. I bet they actually end up loving the film

The sooner the world learns that insensitive labels and words are just that - words. They only have power when you LET them have power. When you ignore them, and I don't know - have a little bit of a sense of humor for a change - people tend to get along better.

I was planning to watch this already, but as a friend of minue put it - I may have to see it twice now.
