On the Tropic Thunder note, I think most people were offended by the repetitive use of the word retard rather than the point they were trying to make (which is a point that I agree with, along with your statement of exploitation).
I for one don’t use the word and I am a strong supporter of the End the R-word campaign. But… I understand that was the best vocabulary that could be used to get the humor behind the point, and it is not as if the humor comes from one character telling another character who has done something stupid that he is “retarded”.
