Is Paris "Retarded"?

E_ParisHiltonPanties_136.jpgI can't stand Paris Hilton (ick, ick, ick!), but I don't think it's that cool that Page Six has dubbed her a "celebutard."

Celebutante + retard = celebutard

A moron? Yes. Trashy? Uh-huh. Tacky? For sure. But calling her a "retard" is kind of harsh… or maybe I've taken one too many special edn courses and have become too PC for my own good.

What do you think?

I have a sweet child who has mental retardation and to call Paris "celebutard" is distressing to me. It's definitely not cool.

No she's just really really really stupid......

That's me being nice...... ;)

Sueloo said:

Relating her with retardation actually gives a physiological excuse for her stupidity. That is unacceptable. There is no excuse for the sad, skinny, stupid thing called Paris Hilton.

Deb said:

How do you know if Paris is even above the moronic level? I've never heard an intelligent word out of her. Maybe PageSix knows her personally.

Sure said:

Yeah it's mean, but Paris doesn't have feelings so it doesn't count.
Besides it's accurate.

Miss J said:

Yes Paris is a moron and she is trashy. But to refer to her as a Retard is just plain mean and insulting to other people.

I think it is unfair for mentally challenged people to be paired up with Paris in anyway. The mentally challenged community has more class, brains, and heart than Paris could ever hope to have.

Its so funny how we spend so much time saying how much we hate the girl but yet and still we devote blogs to her and take the time to write comments about her. I personally have no issue at all with the girl, dont know her. I think in a world filled with so much crap we could devote our times and energy's to much more important issues....

P said:

Why is this celebrity news? I would love to not hear anything about her! It's adding fuel to the fire.

Meg said:

A big reason why calling someone a "retard" is so taboo is that, as hinted at by Holl21 and Tracey, doing so associates a condition which many people are unfortunate enough to have to deal with and cannot prevent, with a derogatory term. The PC-ness of it is not that "retard" is so harsh toward the person being called the term, but that making "retard" an insult is a slam against people who cannot help their condition. The insult is not to Paris, but to the people you associate her with.

I think it's a diss to people who are actually retarded.

Great point Meg. Paris Hilton just did not get a proper education. I'm begging to wonder whether the girl even went to school???

mas said:

She's wearing pink panties! Now that's inspiration!

novwill said:

I quite agree that calling Skank girl a retard is an insult to the mentally challenged. They have more class and are generally - no matter how severe their condition - smarter than she is.

Ms. HT said:

I just wonder what her parents think of her shenanigans? If I was out showing my panties in public all the time like Paris does, my Dad would have kicked my butt all the way to next month! I can't believe that her parents think it is okay for their child to act this way. Just because they are rich and famous doesn't mean that all of us want to see their kids' underwear!!!! Why do you never see Nicky flashing her underwear? It's my guess that she is truly embarassed by her sister. At least Nicky went out and got herself a real job. Gotta give her kudos for that even though she's not the brightest bulb in the box. Enough of Paris already!

Calling Paris Hilton retarded is an insult to developmentally disabled people everywhere.

Pink is the new poon poon.

I believe that Paris Hilton definitely has something wrong with her. While I was attending Utah State University, I worked with the mentally retarded segment of the population. Without question, Paris Hilton would have fit right in with these unfortunate people who were born with components of their brain not working correctly. When you look at Paris's smile (it never changes) and her simple personality, you cannot but agree with me. Paris cannot help the fact that she says and does things that are very unorthodox in a mentally retarded way. Rather than criticize Paris, let's pray that the American people will continue to open their hearts to those people (such as Paris) who are mentally retarded.

I was disillusioned that only 10 percent of respondents to this poll expressed the view that it's mean to call Paris Hilton a "retard." I don't care who she is ~ the fact is, it's stupid and mean to call anyone that word. Please CLICK HERE to read a newsbreaking story about how a young actor recently made a huge statement in Hollywood ~ by refusing to audition for a role in which his character would have to say the "R" word.

Please pass the word: it’s STUPID to say the “R” word!

Headline: "RETARDS LAUNCH CLASS ACTION DEFAMATION SUIT AGAINST PEOPLE CAMPARING THEM TO PARIS HILTON."

Notachan said:

Well, actually, you would consider the poor girl to be borderline, her IQ is around 78 or 79, very, very low.

Someone said:

Yeah, I mean, just by calling her retarded, you're giving all the people who actually do suffer from retardation a bad enough name as it is. She deserves to have all her money taken away, so she can see what many people go through to reach such a level of riches.
