Am I just over-reacting or is this offensive?
I mean it's a movie geared at belittling people with disabilities, totally not cool
It is like that Johnny Knoxville film coming where he plays a man who enters the special olympics to get a medal and pretends to be a 'retard'.
Talk about taking the piss out of vulnerable people and trivialising the lives of those who give up a lot to look after them. :mad:
Sooo not cool.

but i do find the concept repulsive and shocking
if anyone finds it offensive ...then don't bleedin' watch it.
I have seen much worse, just look at some Troma videos.
But my limits are quite extreme, so I find thing offensive very rarely.
Also sounds like that Retardead film that is coming out/is already out. So it's unoriginal, too. :cool:
I just wonder if there will be an uproar about it.
an uproar about what exactly?
But more importantly it looks like shit, I'll bet every moron has had the same idea occure to them when they were in 5th grade. Seems somone is actualy dumb enough to try it.
Diverging from the topic but i just read you signature, do you listen to the 4-Skins at all?
Chaos to 1984 and all that. :cool:
Either all films that star disabled people are offensive because they are being exploited, or films that dont feature disabled people are offensive because they are not casting people with disabilities
4Skins, Cock Sparrer, The Oppressed, DKM, The Prowlers, all the staples. :cool:
pluss all the hardcore and ska bands I can get my hands on, skinheads have good taste.
Oh dear.
edit: oh and that johnny knoxville movie is so ripped from a story on south park
I thought that. But probably, at least southpark is funny.
This film looks like a joke. If it is real, some people needs some fucking better ideas. I'd shoot them just because this is blatantly going to be, the WORST FILM EVER.
And yeah, it's going to be taking the piss out of people with disabilities, duh. Look at it.
Taking the piss out of disabilities can be humourous, I mean lok at what little brittan did with the "I want tha one" guy that was funny because thats what my sister does.
But that film whether its a spoof or not just looks shite. If they made a film where the guy with the disability was the hero and saved the day it would be cool, but they arnt using people with real disabilities, its just people who think they know about what its like to have whatever they're trying to pretend they have and thinking its funny. If I met them I'd probably have a right go, but becuase I cant do that, I dont see the point in getting so worked up.
But I do agree its not a nice thing to do. oh and I'm not a femanatzi...
i dont think its offensive really, its not making FUN or lets all point and laugh at the disabled people stuff.
I saw the Jonny Knoxville film "The Ringer" not so long ago and i really enjoyed it, i thought it was quite funny
tbh I even like it more when they try to get offensive :yes:
It's just a movie...
What's wrong with it anyway, at least they make fun of them like they would have make fun of non-handicapped people. It shows they are threated equally.
Erm... I think it is.
Anyhow it looks total shite to be bothered with.
Earlier today actually.
And if you get offended by it, well, you just don't have a sense of humour do you.
The sad thing is I actually do say that though But more in a ha ha your jelous kind of way
