Adam from Big Brother 9 Fired for 'Retard' Comment



THE "Big Brother" contestant who stirred up a controversy when he called autistic children "retards," has been fired from his job.

But Adam Jasinski, who worked for the United Autism Foundation, doesn't know he's been canned.

He is sequestered in the "Big Brother" house in LA, cut off from contact with the outside world, in keeping with the show's rules.

The foundation announced his firing on its Web site yesterday.

At least one advertiser pulled out of the show following the public outcry over the crude remark and several autism groups even called for CBS to cancel the reality series because producers chose to air the remark in an edited version of the program.

Jasinski was heard on the program saying that he could call children with autism whatever he liked because he worked with them.

"Mr. Jasinski will no longer work for or represent the United Autism Foundation since he caused tremendous damage to UNIAF," the announcement read.

No, they are exceptional

Definitively speaking, we couldn't know if they're "retards" since they generally won't take IQ tests.

I don't think they are, actually, mentally retarded people are slowed in development. autistic people develop and think differently. it's not the same kind of disorder. (correct me if I'm wrong there.)

[info]slr32 27th-Feb-2008 10:21 pm (UTC)
He works for an autism foundation? Wow, how does he have so little self-awareness?
[info]shannondepp 27th-Feb-2008 10:23 pm (UTC)
LOL, no, he is "entitled" to say it just because he works for them
[info]misspinkkate 27th-Feb-2008 11:25 pm (UTC)

[info]hoe_nasty 27th-Feb-2008 10:22 pm (UTC)
He is such a fucking freak, But i heard some of the other house guests talking about his past drug addictions, so it didn't suprise me when he made that comment.
[info]gaelicbutterfly 27th-Feb-2008 10:22 pm (UTC)
Carlos Mencia would approve of his termination.

so he worked for a foundation that focused on autistic children, and called them retards, knowing it would air nationally.

"He is sequestered in the "Big Brother" house in LA, cut off from contact with the outside world"

Jasinski was heard on the program saying that he could call children with autism whatever he liked because he worked with them.

What ridiculous logic is this? I would never call anyone n****r because I work with black people.
