I do however, believe that this use of the word is justified: the movie is mocking a great variety of Hollywood-isms including the trend of "serious" actors exploiting the intellectually disabled.

Speaking of t shirts, one of the comments I received pointed out the number of offensive shirts already being sold over at Cafe Press if you search under the word "retarded".
