Tropic Thunder is facing a boycott from a variety of groups that advocate for the disabled - the disability groups are pushing for a nationwide Tropic Thunder boycott for the way the film addresses the mentally impaired.

Special Olympics spokesman Peter Wheeler told E! News, “Ideally, we’d like the movie not to be shown. If they don’t pull it out of theaters, we’d like for people to hear what we’re upset about, to not go and see the film and boycott screenings.”

The questionable story line involves Ben Stiller’s character, actor Tugg Speedman, who played a mentally disabled man.

Andy Imparto, head of the American Association of Disabled Persons said, “It’s an offensive film on a lot of levels. I understand the studio, director and writers were trying to be over-the-top, but in doing so around the use of the word retard, they really crossed the line…My biggest fear is high school boys will see this thing and think its cool to use this word and play with it the way it’s played with in the movie.”
