Idea to Fight Political Incorrectness

Following up on this last post, I have another idea for the Special Olympics.

The goal: send a punishing message to Dreamworks for producing Tropic Thunder
The objective: decrease attendance at the box office
Current (retarded) approach: raise awareness of how offensive the film is by creating a public controversy over it
Why this is retarded: controversy sells

Here's where the fun begins.

The Special Olympics Committee should undercut Tropic Thunder's ticket sales by pirating copies of the movie and launching a massive campaign to market them. This would accomplish a number of things. First, and least retardedly, this would eat into Dreamwork's profits by decreasing ticket sales and legitimate movie profits. Second, pirating movies will only serve to increase the number of people who actually see the movie. If the movie really is this offensive and not just something that the SOC is exaggerating, increasing its availability will only serve to inform more people about its offensive content and how dispicable Dreamworks must be for producing it.
