Pharmaceutical companies give doctor’s offices free samples to give to patients who can’t afford medication, or need to “try them before they have to buy them.”  And they give us a lot of them! Pfizer Inc. 101 million samples worth $2.7 billion Merck & Co. 39 million samples worth about $356 mill...

The makers of the Academy Award winning documentary The Cove got Aniston and several other celebs motivated to become Dolphin Crusaders. Hayden Panettiere, Jason Mraz, Woody Harrelson, Naomi Watts, James Gandolfini, Ben Stiller, and Paul Rudd all banded together to create this new PSA in an effort to save the dolphins, brought to you by TMZ’s TooFab!, below.

I’m referring to Ben Stiller’s character Roger Greenberg in Noah Baumbach’s latest movie. I don’t know what it is about the desperately needy, passive-aggressive, narcissistic misanthrope that sings to me, but there it is. Spoiler Alert! For those who haven’t seen the film or read reviews yet, here’s a summary: Roger Greenberg, recently released from the hospital after a nervous breakdown, goes to stay at his brother’s well-appointed L.A. home to house- and dog-sit while his sibling takes an extended vacation with his family in Vietnam. Roger’s plan is to do “nothing for a while.” Mostly, he writes letters to corporations that offend him (Starbucks, Hollywood Pet Taxi). He spends the rest of the time...

The r-word is kind of r-rated around here and, indeed, just simply rude. And a sign of a rube?

In the midst of discussions about the “r-word” in the Tropic Thunder movie, the words we use to refer to “kids who are different” or “academically challenged” or “special ed/special needs” resonate. When did “special” come to mean “needs SPECIAL education,” with undercurrents of, “not the most academically gifted student; not even average”? It’s not an academic question to me. My son Charlie’s academic abilities are “way way below” those considered “average” for his grade and age. And yet Jim and I, and his teachers too, aren&#...

And, why they should stop doing it. Here’s an article on the Special Olympics website about the boycott.

The film is directed by actor Ben Stiller and is, according to the August 10th New York Times, a “movie-industry spoof”: A particular sore point has been the film’s repeated use of the term “retard” in referring to a character, Simple Jack, who is played by Mr. Stiller in a subplot about an actor who chases an Oscar by portraying a mindless dolt. …..
