Advocacy groups for the disabled are calling for a boycott of Ben Stiller's latest movie Tropic Thunder. They protested at the Hollywood premiere of the comedy, calling the jokes it makes about those with intellectual disabilities particularly offensive. Ben Stiller, who directed, co-wrote, produced and has a lead role in the film, says he respects the views of the protesters but didn't mean to offend anyone. Susan Flory reports.
