One of the characters in Ben Stiller's "Tropic Thunder" is an Australian actor who undergoes a deep-tissue pigmentation to become black. One is an overweight, drug-addled comic who seems to speak only in farts. Stiller and company have navigated plenty of minefields in their new Hollywood satire, and the unlikeliest one of all might trip them up. A consortium of disability groups has called for a national boycott of the highly anticipated war spoof because of what they see as open ridicule of the mental

Groups Weigh Boycott of 'Tropic Thunder'

It's a new animated movie being produced by his Tropic Thunder co-star (and scriptwriter, and director) Ben Stiller.
