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."

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..........

After having groaned my way disbelievingly through a showing of The Bounty Hunter during a recent flight, I'm thunderstruck that she can still worry about acting for a living right now. ;)

The offended need to learn to grow a little skin an not be so perpetually aggrieved.

There's no fun in THAT!

There's no profit in THAT!

There's no publicity in THAT!

The disability advocates need to get a life.

[Sender]

Now we have an R word?

This thread is worthless without pictures.

Any pics in particular you want?

Here's one:

You doing OK, now?

We need to promote the use of “imbecile”, especially for the P/C crowd.

If she is in it chances are the movie will be a flop. I don't hate the woman, I just think any movie her agent gets her will be a dud no matter what her role in the movie would be, even if it is just a picture of her on the wall. lol

I’m not a fan of JA but this is ridiculous...

If she replies at all, she should tell the complainers to stop acting so retarded.....

[fivecatsandadog]

Publicity stunt by another needy actress (?).

>We need to promote the use of “imbecile”, especially for the P/C crowd.<

Good idea. That’s one way to get around the cretins that scream like wounded cats over the word retard.

[MNJohnnie]

HAAAA

Brilliant, evil but brilliant!

[DCPatriot]

I want you to know that PHOTOBUCKET removed this graphic from my collection.

The reason?

The word “RETARD” was in the file name.

[maggief]

Is this what you were looking for? :D

[liberalcide1]

I don’t see anything wrong with what she said, but I love it when one of these Hollywood liberals gets their a** kicked.

“she should tell the complainers to stop acting so retarded”

Were she to do that , I might just have to be a fan of hers....in recognition of her new found eleoquence!

“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.”

Agree for sure. In fact, let’s start a “Anti PC” movement by making a point of overtly using words and terms that are not politically correct. Let’s break the pc lock on our language. Whadda you think?

gee, thanks

Ironic, I rarely watch “Regis and Kelly,” but I so happened to have the TV on that morning and I saw the interview with the rather odd Jennifer Anniston.

When Jen made that “retard” comment, I thought, “She’s gonna get in trouble with her fellow libs for that comment!”

[weef]

FoxNew.com actually referred to this as the R-word. I had to read the stupid article before I could figure out what the R-word actually was. Lately the people at FoxNews.com are really starting to be S-word heads.

The stupid, imbecilic, moronic idiots still don't realize that in the end, all Democrats are 'Rats.
