3754 AnonymousI doubt that these actors, directors, writers, etc would think it's funny if they had a child who is "retarded". Now it's one more thing to worry about, as my son is about to start school. He cannot speak/communicate and is wheelchair bound. It is heart breaking to realize that my son might get bullied...actually I cannot understand why anyone would bully such a child (well, any child, really). It is upsetting to know that yes, there are people out there who hate kids with disabilities. http://www.myhateblog.com/2007/11/30/i-hate-retards-and-autistic-children/ Thank you for your petition and for the time you are taking to address this.

3765 Allison CarterI am a mother of a wonderful, special 12 year old daughter born with Down Syndrome. Heather enters middle school this year and I am extremely concerned how she will be treated by kids who have seen this movie and feel it is acceptable or funny to label someone a "retard". Shame on the actors in this movie that think it's no big deal and they didn't mean any harm. What if it were their children on the receiving end of the fallout caused by this movie?

3777 carla smithThe R word is equally as offensive as the N word; only towards a different group of people. It hurts the people that mostly can't fight back. A more appropriate term would be developmentally disabled or mentally handicapped. I'm sure if a movie came out with the N word all over it, then there would be civil rights advocates signing the same kind of petitions. My son is developmentally disabled and fortunately he doesn't understand how much people use this awful word inapropriately and as an insult, but I do. It hurts.

3779 Johnnie StidhamAs an aunt of two nephews with special needs, I am sadden about how low Hollywood has come to make a few dollars. This is a slap in the face to all who have special needs and those who are the parents and teachers. Everyone involve with this so-called comedy should be ashamed. Walk a mile in my nephews' shoes and you will never use that term again.
3780 AnonymousEveryone wants us to be politically correct. But when it comes to children with Downs Syndrome or something else, anything goes. You should be ashamed. We speak out on behalf of our grandchild who was Downs.

3782 Beverly BrimerThis is one of the most insensitive acts that has come out of the movie industry in a long time, (and there have been many). Why is it that no one is supposed to say anything to offend homosexuals, certain races or certain political figures, but it is OK to offend persons with disabilities, conservative/family values people or Christians. Believe it or not we are people too. Those of you who preach "tolerance" are the biggest bunch of liars on the face of the earth. You are only "tolerant" to those who tend to be like you. THAT is Not Tolerance - and Yes I AM SHOUTING! You are all a bunch of insensitive, inconsiderate, ignorant hypocrits.

3785 Debbie BrueningYou had a great thing going with humor and then spoiled it for a segment that downgraded a member of society that cannot defend themselves - poor taste!

3787 Marilyn SullivanThe film was so vulgar & insulting, I left after a half hr. Can't these top stars create something without filth? No wonder the Muslim World wants to destroy Hollywood! This film is a good reason why! Such garbage. And children in the audience, too!

3793 marlene whitmorethis is a very disheartningand un feeling movie, should not be released
3794 Kim BainbridgeI have a 19 year old son with Down Syndrome and I still cannot say the "r" word out loud. When I hear someone using that word it is like driving a knive in my heart. My other two children, ages 21 and 16, and none of their friends have ever been allowed to use that word around me.

3797 Stephanie RosaIt is just cruel how we try so hard for people to stop using this "word" but now we have to see it on tv one day.
3798 Lori Olson WhiteUnintentional insensitivity is one thing, scripted insensitivy included simply for a laugh and larger box office draw is another. Shame on you all.
