Rosie O'Donnell offends little people on TV...

[enyawd72]

Saw a news article this morning...apparently she said she's afraid of them, and that they creep her out.

I thought to myself...It's true... Elephants ARE afraid of mice!

I personally have never cared for her. I don't think she is very funny and find it ironic if not hypocritical of her to demand that everyone be sensitive and accepting of her while she chooses to not to reciprocate to others.

[thunderbolt]

she pretty much offends everyone just by being on tv.

I can't stand her ***

I can't believe I am going to defend Rosie. But to cut off any bashing of gays, women, large people, etc.

What she said was she has a mild fear or anxiety of little people do to a childhood fear of Wizard of Oz. It's not something she is proud of and knows it is wrong. She has also appologized many times.

Chelsea Handler makes cruder remarks about little people and her sidekick all the time and nobody cared before. If it wasn't Rose that said it I don't think we would be even talking about it.

Thumbs up, Werewolf! I'm completely bored with phony outrage.

Kind of ironic since she has Oompa Loompa features.

That's because Chelsea is clever, funny and easy on the eye. Rosie, IMHO, is a no talent, loud mouth, over-opinionated, slob.

I'm sorry...but screw O'Donnell for her "mild fear or anxiety of little people do to a childhood fear of Wizard of Oz"...that's a lame excuse to feel that way about fellow human beings...she's actually giving ammunition to people who might be a bit uneasy with either gay/lesbian, overweight...or ugly people (I myself qualify as overweight and ugly, lol)...that's totally lame...and should not be accepted nor tolerated.

You think little people have an easy life?

They themselves have to deal with discrimination, ridicule, health issues, having to deal with things that way are too big for them (kitchens, bathrooms, cars, etc...)...stuff we that we ourselves take for granted. Now they have to put up with O'Donnell's fears? Get that hell out of here with that lame stuff.

Someone tell her to grow the hell up...and treat everyone like she wants to be treated...with respect.

well said bro, by the way I hated that slob way before the little people comment

[toys2cool]

I'm sorry i found this online and could'nt stop laughing


I actually liked her when she was just an actress when she started to talk shows I started disliking her

So, you are saying, it's okay to insult people if you are considered pretty. Gotcha. Chelsea mocks, infantises and dehumanizes her sidekick and little people all the time. It should be wrong no matter if you are "pretty" or "ugly."

For the record, I'm not exactly a fan of Rosie or Chelsea. The point of my earlier post was please don't use Rosie's stupid comment (which she has apologized for) as an excuse to insult gay people, women or heavy people. Like calling them slobs and things like that.

[Nostalgiabuff]

Werewolf is right, however, i don't think people dislike Rosie because of weight or sexual preference. people don't like her because she is an obnoxious, boorish *****

[MIB41]

I have a 'mild fear' of any celebrity who thinks their opinions, personal or political, are of any great importance to anyone outside of themselves. These people carry so much presumption and pretense that society actually 'cares' what they think simply because their name is recognized. I have no more regard for "Rosie" than I would a felon behind bars. The best thing to do here? Ignore her... They hate that.

Let me start this by saying I'm not a fan of either Rosie or Chelsea.

That said, I also didn't see all of what Rosie said but it looked like an interview. If that's the case then her talking about a phobia she has shouldn't be considered offensive. Her phobia is called either tinyophobia or Nanosophobia and a phobia is by it nature an irrational fear ( not like the term homophobia which is totally incorrect for how it's used ).

Chelsea does what she does as part of her "shtick" and her sidekick is in on it. If he came out and said he didn't like her jokes at his expense then it would be wrong. Her humor is crude and that what her audience wants from her. Andrew Dice Clay had a big career being crude and the term PC hadn't really be invented yet. When people started complaining about him and getting "offended" by what they knew he was going to say when they bought the ticket is when the term PC got a lot of millage ( at least that's when I first started hearing used a lot ).

Personally I'm fed up with all the PC bull around today and if I never hear about Rosie or Chelsea again I won't shed a single tear.
