Here's the official shout-out from the Bully gang, carrying over last week's "human rights" crusade to get the Weinstein release's R-rating reduced to a PG-13.
Wildfire petition to tell the @MPAA to give @bullymovie a PG-13 breaks 180,000 RT to keep the fire!bit.ly/AbQWZ1 #bullymovie

So how's the response? Mostly positive, naturally, with a few contrarian opinions and hilarious misunderstandings thrown in for good measure:
#BullyMovie needs to be PG13. #MiddleFingerUp to the bullies at the MPAA who rated this important film R.

I'm curious about #BullyMovie. Does it only look at the victims?Because the bullies themselves are almost always victims of bullies as well.

If @WeinsteinFilms cannot change the R rating to #BullyMovie then no one can. Seriously, they made "The Artist" won best picture.

Sorry guys, but this #BullyMovie isn't going to stop bullying any more than "Roots" and "The Color Purple" stopped racism.
