So, since I'm not gonna watch it again, who did they say had Tourette's?

Reported 04.02.10 00:43 from Bill Geschwind:

.:That film is towards the top of my list of worst films ever. Even far ahead
.:of anything featuring Pauly Shore, if that gives you any idea of my dislike
.:of this particular piece of trash. Having lived with Tourette's Syndrome for
.:more than 30 years, any movie that perpetuates false stereotypes of this
.:neurological disorder automatically earns my contempt. Sorry folks, but
.:regardless of what Hollywood would like you to believe, shouting profanities
.:DOES NOT equal Tourette's Syndrome. TS can manifest itself through any
.:number of symptoms, and coprolalia (uncontrollable uttering of profanities)
.:occurs only in very, very small number of cases. And then using this false
.:perception of TS as the one of the main vehicles for his jokes is not only
.:plain stupid, but also downright insulting. A "timeless classic?" 'Fraid
.:not.
.:
.:If you want to know what Tourette's Syndrome is really all about, please
.:take a look at the Tourette Syndrome Association's web site at
.:http://www.tsa-usa.org/ .
.:
.:Even if you don't want to read the entire site, please at least look at this
.:particular item:

.:Thanks,
.:Bill
