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 Harpers 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 wont 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!

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
To: KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle
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.....

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

I want you to know that PHOTOBUCKET removed this graphic from my collection.
The reason?
The word “RETARD” was in the file name.

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

“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?

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!”

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.
