Attention everyone: Stop being a pussy

I think it's pretty bullshitty that every time anyone does anything that could be considered remotely offensive to anyone, they get slapped in the face with protesters and maybe a lawsuit or two. So what if Tropic Thunder is offensive to retarded people? Tell them not to watch it. I hate it when people think we should all live in a happy world where no one makes jokes about any group of people, any object, thing, clothing brand, or computer manufacturer. Being offended is part of life. If you plan to live, you will be offended from time to time. If you don't like it, die. If there are jokes about your race in a movie and you don't like them, then don't see the movie. What good does protesting or lawsuiting do? The movie has already been made, you can't recall it from thousands of movie theaters so you can scratch out the parts that aren't soccer mom-friendly. Those parts are always the best parts. Without them, movies would stop being funny. Look at Norbit. The whole thing was a jab at fat black women, and to my knowledge no one has said anything about it. No, not a lot of people liked it (I did), but how many fat black women sued DreamWorks for it? No one!
Basically what I'm saying is, if a movie is offensive to you, don't watch it. What horrible thing does it do to you if you don't watch it? Hell, what horrible thing does it do to you if you DO watch it? Learn to laugh at yourself. It's humorless douchebags like you that are ruining everything for everyone else. Either get a sense of humor, or stop living.
