Maybe. It's become a sensitive word recently, I'm sure you've seen people get blasted for using it by the media. It was probably a preventative thing.

Says who? You can say whatever word you want and someone can think it's "offensive"

Oh, but they won't.

Where did she apologize anyway?

The Queen

I don't see why anyone made such a big deal out of it.... everyone wether they will admit it or not, has used the word "retarted".

Words are only offensive if you allow them to be offensive. But at least she apologized so people can shut the hell up.

I know that, but since it's Gaga, people are going to act like they never have and add this incident to the long list of incidents of Gaga's they have saved in a notepad document to use against her.

I knew those BTW lyrics would make an appearance.

It would have blown over in a day, I wouldn't have apologized
That's what makes her unique

Bravo Gaga

Quoting Born This Way? **** this bitch.. Always gotta get that promo in

So the apology now is just more promo?

Get that Born This Way promo Gaga!














Oh, and well done for apologising I guess.

I'm glad she did this, it shows she cares.

I never knew that. I never use those words anyway. I just stick with your stupid.

I'm glad she apologized, but it obviously it wasn't intentional.
Dead @ some people acting as though they dont understand why its such a bad word to use

I was smiling while reading this and then I was like... ugh... you didn't disappoint


almost made it through a post without something negative... almost


Good for her on apologizing, she knows this had offended some more sensitive people. I personally don't care
