I have read in a couple of places that a PSA promoting respectful language toward people with developmental disabilities will be included in the DVD release of the protested/boycotted movie "Tropic Thunder" but have seen no confirmation of this. Some believe that the PSA would be Will Schermerhorn's Respect PSA created in English and Spanish for the Arc of Northern Virginia and Arc of Virginia, found at

It is available for download in several formats - Flash, WMV, as YouTube code for embedded video and for television stations and movie theaters.

Is this something that DreamWorks agreed to do for the DVD release?
