Hillary Duff tells bitchy girls, "Dont say 'That's so gay.'"

I'm with Feministing when I say, "Oh my God, I agree with Hillary Duff?" Check out her public service announcement that reminds bitchy teenage girls that calling something "gay" when you mean "bad" is so not okay:

Point number one, Duff looks strangely old and crazy in this video. Point number two, way to have balls, Hillary. I know, I know, it's a commercial. But every time I hear someone use "gay" like that -- in the case of this PSA, as a way to describe an ugly shirt -- I want to scream, "Do you know what you're saying?!" Personally I'd be scared that these girls would claw my eyes out if I called them on their homophobic language, but they seem to take it okay... probably because Duff insults one of their own shirts, thus asserting her place as dominant, mature lady bitch.

Way to go, Hillary. You've inspired this strange feeling in me. I think it might be respect...

I also agree with Hillary Duff. From this day forth I will call people out for calling lame things "gay", because I am a dominant mature lady bitch myself.

Well, well, the PC thought police are getting bolder. If people want to call something lame, gay, so be it. It's called free speech. And when gay people stop calling me a breeder and a hetero, I'll stop calling lame things gay.

Deal with it.
