Lady Gaga Is Sorry For Using The Word "Retarded"

Lady Caca, the self-appointed voice of acceptance, used the word "retarded" to describe her feelings about the accusations that she cloned Madonna's "Express Yourself" and re-titled it "Born This Way." The interview in which she dropped the "retarded" word made the rounds on the same day Weird Al said her manager told him that she refused to give her blessing for his parody of "Born This Way." Caca already backpedaled from the Weird Al thing by saying her manager never played the song for her, and now she's pedaling back even faster from her "retarded" comment.

In a statement to Perez Hilton (via UsWeekly), Caca says she regrets using that word and it's her life's work to blah blah blah blah blah:

"I consider it part of my life's work and music to push the boundaries of love and acceptance.

My apologies for not speaking thoughtfully. To anyone that was hurt, please know that it was furiously unintentional.

An honest mistake, requires honesty to make.

Whether life's disabilities, left you outcast bullied or teased, rejoice and love yourself today."

If you needed an apology, there you go. If you needed an apology and an "I'm So Sorry" bouquet of roses, you're not going to get it. But she did give us something even better. It's a "Gaga Goes Down" bouquet (jump to the 1:25 mark below)!


All better now?

OMG-Just watched the Movie NOTTING HILL recently and this photo so resembles the actress Emma Chambers who played Hugh Grants sister, (Honey Thacker), in the movie. If anyone else remembers this Movie, (besides me), she's the goofy looking chick who ended up hooking up with Rhys Ifan's character Spike in the end...

Ugh I said before in the other thread that I love Gaga. Anyways, I am starting to agree with the masses...she really needs to STFU. Shit's gettin' old! I still like her music but I like shitty pop music..sue me.
*************************************

LOL! I've been kinda glad that she's fucking up so badly now, actually, cuz it's nice to be able to come back into the fold about it;p

I tried but I have always said, too, that it would take time to make me a fan....I had to see her go through this, for instance. And she's failing pretty bad. I mean, Madonna didn't even fail like this until way later.

I really think she was clueless that the term is offensive when said out of context. Like most 12 year olds. Not until her A&R goons saw the blogasphere backlash, did she "write" (scripted nonapology) her heartfelt apology.

I know it's politically incorrect as all hell, but I grew up calling my brother a retard virtually every day. Old habits die hard. I'm trying to switch to calling him a cooter-head, but I'm worried that all the cooter-heads of the world will unite and demand a retraction.

As yet another mother of a special needs kid and an autistic kid, I'm more offended by the assholes who openly stare at us on the train than someone using the word retarded to describe something. She is offensive just for existing anymore, so it doesn't matter what she says, lol.

I think the reason it's is such a big deal isn't JUST because of the word, but because of WHO said it & the context in which she said it in. It's coming from someone who spends so much time trying to be this no judgement/born this way/love all etc. spokesperson, & in a sentence describing her love yourself born this way song, she drops the word "retarded". If she believed everything she preached I think a lot of people would agree that word wouldn't be a part of her vocabulary.

I remember when Jen Aniston said "retarded" a while back & she was given a lot of shit for it. Not that she should continue using it, but she's not exactly promoting the things Gaga is or to the extent that she is where she writes a song about it & constantly talks about it & makes it a part of how she markets herself. In short, not that it's news to a lot of people, but Gaga is a hypocrite.

I'm so tired of this overly PC world we're supposed to live in. What, are there going to be commercials now telling us we can't use the word "retard"? I have a special needs son and I would put my fist through the face of anyone that called him that. But come on, most of us use it in the same context as gay. It's just slang. Get over it already!

I'm sure all the retards are offended (her fans)..oh wait they're retarded!..so who gives a fuck.

The definition of "retard" is "to hinder"

When I hear "that's retarded" I don't think of a special needs kid.

But I understand how some people are offended by it.

Just like it's being forced down our throat to accept the word "Gay"

I'm pretty sure the dictionary definition of gay means "happy"

Unless of course they've changed it and it now reads "attracted to the same sex"

ImpertinentVixen's picture

As the mother of a child with mental retardation, I should mind more the use of that word to describe a thought or action that is stupid, but I don't. I mind more the fact that she used a ridiculous phrase like "furiously unintentional."

What she should do is let Weird Al cover it and then the proceeds could go towards a charity that would beneefit those with MR/DD. But that will probably not occur to her. She's stupid that way.

And the comments on that site are definitely not pro Caca, no matter how hard Pissez (I refuse to type his name on this site) tries to shover her down the public's throats (though I do think that when she first came out she rocked it with "just dance" and "pokerface").

Also love how Madonna never really has a comment. Just lets karma take care of it-makes me respect her more. Shows that diva attitude isn't part of her MO.

Of course Warhol and his Factory peeps were posers. All artists are posers but you have to place them in context. No one had ever done what Warhol did and remember, he was the one who said everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame. And he was right.

I totally agree. Warhol did nothing for me, I think he got lucky with a bunch of pretentious idiots (like the Goopys of the 60s) and they made his shit "art". To me, it's just shit.

But then again, I never understood how The Eagles got so popular with their elevator music or how The Go Gos were ever thought of as edgy punk girls with talent. To me they were medicore young poptarts like The Bangles.

All this is the same shit Madonna used to love to do. Do or say something knowing full well people will get their panties in a twist so they have something to respond to and keep them in your face. Remember in Madonna's Truth or Dare documentary how gleeful she was that the police were at her Toronto concert to maybe arrest her for public indecency or whatever it was. She ate that fucking shit up with a spoon, and so does this one. *not clicking on Pigez*
