CNN has an interesting point/counterpoint on the topic: one from Special Olympics chairman Timothy Shriver, who calls for a boycott of the film on the basis that it perpetuates stereotypes (especially its Simple Jack subplot); the other by Film School Rejects editor Neil Miller, who contends that protesters miss Thunder's Hollywood-lampooning point.
So, which is it? Have at it.
