Jennifer Aniston is in hot water for using a politically incorrect term on “Live with Regis & Kelly” Thursday morning.

While promoting her flick “The Switch,” Aniston discussed her recent Barbra Streisand-inspired photo shoot for “Harper’s Bazaar” on the show. "Yeah, I got to play dress up,” Jen said to Regis, “I do it for a living, like a retard!"

Now, disability advocates are bashing the actress for her word choice.

A rep for the Special Olympics tells “Us Weekly,” "People with intellectual disabilities have fought their whole lives for understanding and recognition. When people continue to use the R word, it's hurtful."

Disability advocates are such retards.

The more she talks, the stupider she appears.
And she’s looking her age, too.
What can Hollywood be thinking to give this woman so much exposure?

I am getting so sick and tired of a group of people trying to make particular words in our language off limits by choosing to throw a temper tantrum every time someone says a particular word.

These disability agitators need to get a life.

I do it for a living, like a retard!

What does it even mean? Like everything else this retard says, it's pretty much indecipherable.

You liberals reap what you sow. You played your part in creating this control freak, politically correct society. Now you must live in it and by it’s rules.

Lousy movie reviews, promoting having kids out of wedlock and picking on retards, she won’t have to worry about acting for a living pretty soon..........

This is how political correctness is propagated, “advocates” and “groups” tell us which words are acceptable. Just tell them it’s a free country, you’ll use whatever words you want and STFU.

Wife and I are convinced she is a female Tom Cruise. She will NOT come out of the closet until she can no longer get the cute girlfriend roles.

Its Haitian crack orphan adoption time for Jen.

I'm sure glad I'm not in the public spotlight. There'd be an awful lot of people feeling like "retards" when I got done dressing them done in public.

Aniston might be a lib, but its obvious she wasn't trying to offend anybody. The majority of the people use this word in a context like she did. The offended need to learn to grow a little skin an not be so perpetually aggrieved.

Either that or take Brad back...

Hey, I'm still pushing the term "Leftwingtard" and although it does have a lot to do with the fact the Lefties are all retarded (for real) that's not what it means at all.

Instead, I have MISSPELLED the real word to get around the ON LINE WORD NAZI SOFTWARE.

That letter "a"? That's not really an "a". It's a "u", and if it bothers someone that I misspell it, they can just go get forked!

Manic depressive people started feeling much more normal when the disorder was re-named bi-polar.

Now, disability advocates are bashing the actress for her word choice.

Why? If they are disability advocates, aren't they supposed to LIKE retards?

This thread is worthless without pictures.
