Jennifer Aniston Is Offending Everybody!
Jennifer Aniston already made Bill O'Reilly clutch his Tampax Pearls when she said that women don't need dudes to start a family, and now she's offending a whole new group of the population. On Live with Regis & Kelly this morning, Jennifer Aniston was talking about dragging it up as Barbra Streisand for Harper's Bazaar and Regis said something about how she's always playing dress up. Then Jennifer quickly responded and said, "Yes, I play dress up! I do it for a living, like a retard!" (It's at the 2:00 mark in the clip above) Well, you know where this is headed.
Shortly after, Hollywood Life told Jen to slap her own tongue because she should know better. The CEO of The Arc (a nonprofit advocate for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities) also told Jennifer that they will hold her purse while she punches herself in the mouth for using the word retard. He issued this statement to UsWeekly:
"Frankly, someone in her position ought to know better. She is using language that is offensive to a large segment of the population in this country. We estimate that there are probably in excess of 5 million people in the country with intellectual disabilities, and when you think about all of them, their family members and friends, you're talking about tens of millions of people who find the use of that term to be really offensive. Every time folks hear that word, it kind of reminds them of all the discrimination and oppression they've experienced in their lives. Even if it wasn't intended to insult them, that is the effect of it."
We shouldn't declare this a full blown ESCANDALO until Sarah Palin drops her half cent about this on Twitter, so stand by for that.....
• 
fuck the people who get offended by retard, and fuck the retards, they dont give a shit either
I like to try on different helmets for fun. Does that make me a bad person?

God, that chick is scary. Even more scary is that she wants to run for president 2012.

For God's sake. Everyone in this damn country needs to chill out and sit the eff down. We are so freaking PC now that people are afraid to say anything for fear of reprisals. I thought we had a little something called Freedom of Speech in the United States! God!

LOL angel, reminds me of when my niece was little and my sis would always chastize me in front of her "WE DON'T SAY 'STUPID' IN THIS FAMILY!!!!"
*************************************
LOL! Yeah, cuz it was never a rule for me til I had kids too. And then you just realize they don't get anything about subtleties - first you gotta teach them the rules. Later on you can roll your eyes when they play with them cuz you know they get it at base: be respectful of other human beings. Playing (sparring) is a totally different thing....(and plus, you start to notice that people who habitually call things "stupid" tend to not be too bright themselves;p)

There used to be a "mentally handicapped" kid living on my block whose parents let him run wild and tear up people's property. No one would dare say anything because of his mental capabilities. His name was Lee and the kids called him "Leetard".
BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!! Leetard!!!!! ROFLMFAO!!!!
"My pug is smarter than your honor student."
Not saying Jen didn't make a total gaffe here, but language evolves...in 20-30 years "retarded" will probably just become part of everyone's lexicon. "Idiot," "dumb" and "lame" used to be considered offensive back in the day, and now no one thinks twice about using them.

no matter what you say these days it's never okay so i say fuck it and speak the way you like! there's always gonna be a bunch of people with way too much time on their hands who are gonna bitch about your language. if you never used the word retard you're a lying hypocritical bastard!

How is saying retard any different than accusing someone of riding the "short bus".
I try not to say anything to offend people, but sometimes stuff just slips.

Hekki tell your sister that normal == typical? So bring out your thesaurus and explain to her that it doesn't make sense to replace a word with something that means the exact same thing.
Hmm come to think of it, the word blonde should be banned from our vocabulary as well. There have been a lot of blonde jokes and it reminds me of the discrimination and oppression caused to those with yellow hair.
No doubt this was some Brangeloonie who brought this to media attention. Just sayin.

Let's be real, everyone relaxes and speaks as they feel they want to around their own friends. But the problem with Aniston is that she is on some morning show where most of the viewer's are stay at home moms who might have a mentally challenged child sitting right beside them. It's no wonder some get offended. Ugh, whatever. I do think this cost her some fans, though.
*********************************
Totally agree. That's her job, man. You don't forget and say "fuck you, bitch *smiley face*" to your customers when they're being assholes, right? It's public speaking, man - on TELEVISION. It was a stupid mistake, fersure.

If she was referring to Paris Hilton, now that would be offensive to ruh-tards
A retard wouldn't be offended, because they are retarded. So it's supposed to be the family and friends of retards that would be offended? But who would be friends with a retard, but another retard. So the only offended people will be families of retards. But who cares what they think, because they come from a family of retard(s).

Oh, geez. Nobody can say anything anymore without SOMEONE or SOME GROUP getting all offended. So it probably wasn't the smartest thing to say...big deal! I'm sure she's embarrassed - she certainly doesn't seem to be the type of person that would go out of her way to diss on the mentally retarded!
People need to get over it! Everything has to be so politically correct anymore - it's like we're all becoming a bunch of little puppets being guided by our puppeteers to say and do everything in exactly the same way. If you say ONE STUPID THING that's off the cuff or original, you're an asshole.
Sorry for my rant, but this is ridiculous!
"My pug is smarter than your honor student."
So - basically, retards are offended that she's tryna be one of them. That's a little snobby, innit?

Well, maybe she IS retarded;p
JUST KIIIIIIIDDING! OMG!
I kinda feel bad for her cuz she was doing the opposite of an Angie. She was downplaying her job. Instead of letting them put her on some pedestal she was just tryna put things in perspective....and she fucked up. That's why it sucks to be in the public eye - when you trip over yourself the whole damn world knows. That kinda thing is hard to live down (inside yerself) when it's just a few people, never mind.

Also. My sister does Special Ed and gets so persnickety about labeling kids. Like, my kids aren't "normal", they are "typical". She gets really lecturey about it.
But then she will text me photos of her kids with funny captions and record the warped and hilarious conversations she has with them. That's more fucked up than calling them "retarded", am i right? It's not that she's making fun of them but she is finding it entertaining.
------------------------------------------------
I have two special needs kids and i would be more offended by what your sister does cause she is probably violating major privacy laws...
Shit, i had to sign a waiver that i would not talk about anything relating to the special needs kids in their classroom just for volunteering in there..
But i hear ya on the NT (neurotypical) and MR (mentally retarded) cutsie words... abbreviations make it soooo much prettier (sark)
I fixed dinner, i get bottom. I called it!!
Its a sign of our decline that a few non-profit employees are able to declare words off-limits. Fortunately, only celebrities and politicians have to obey.
big fucking deal. i like the word retard too. political correctness is retarded. i can't believe dlisters would find the word offensive. SERIOUSLY! you guys have no limits (thank gawd)
ISMU: there were these loser girls at my school named Monica and Jennifer and I uses to call them (privately) Tardica and Loidifer! Totally forgot about that until now!!! Again, LOLing like one.
You can't go around saying words like retard. It offends people because so many of them are.

"Retarded" has been going out of style for a few years in favor of "special needs" and "developmental disabilities"...at least she didn't say MONGOLOID. I work(ed) in Special Ed. and sometimes I think political correctness is taken WAY too far. I've been sent to the hospital by kids who sell drugs, rape, steal, assault,are on probation by age 11, are basically socio/psychopaths but we call them "conduct disorder"...
