Rosie O'Donnell Posts Photo, Video of 4-year-Old Daughter Dressed as Guerrilla Fighter With Bullet Bandolero

Tuesday , June 26, 2007


Unemployed gabfest queen Rosie O'Donnell, who last went to war with Elizabeth Hasselbeck only to retreat from her position on "The View," appears to have drafted a reinforcement in the form of waify 4-year-old Vivian Rose, better known as "Vivi."

Rosie posted a video and photo of her little soldier on her Web site Rosie.com on Tuesday, which drew immediate reaction -- some not so kind -- about the media transformation of her daughter from little princess to bullet-toting guerrilla fighter.

"That is a horrible picture of VIvi!!" one viewer wrote to her blog. Other comments included:

"RO, I AGREE WITH U ON MOSTLY EVERYTHING. BUT SOMEHOW I FOUND THE PICTURE OF VIVI DISTURBING. I DON’T EVEN LET MY CHILDREN PLAY WITH ANYTHING SIMILAR TO THAT. IT’S JUST A COMMENT. BUT OH WELL!!!!!!"

"wow Ro that photo of Vivi with the bullets made me cry-it’s scary to think that there are precious little ones really walking around like that in our world “for real”. Come on people! Help our babies"

"what’s with the new pic? it’s rather disturbing!"

"Help me out here….Why is that child in the header pic(your child I believe) wearing a bullet belt around her? Is there a political statement ur trying to make?"

"that picture is gross! I am disturbed…leaving your site for a clearing of my mind as to what you are up to!"

"Oh, WOW Vivi looks beautiful.! the fact that U let her explore her imagination like that shows what a good mom U R. In some countries though, they are training terrorists that young, how sad is that?"

"Ro- So dissapointed to see your little ones with bullets…where are the guns? I thought for sure you would protect them more from such things…The internet is NOT OK…but bullets ARE?? Why Why??"

"Are you kidding me with that pic of your daughter? Why would you do that?"

"WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT PICTURE OF VIVI WEARING BULLETS, I LOVE YOU AND IT REALLY OFFENEDED ME !!!!"

"Not sure of the “message” you are trying to send with that pic of Viv, but I guarantee many are not going to get it… Children with bullets, even fake…?? what are u thinking?"

Hooray for blanket statements. :rolleyes:

Seriously no one in their right mind pays attention to that woman. Nothing to see here. Move along.

And man do I LOVE the reporting style of fox news. They could have pulled the story from rushlimbaugh.com and no one would have noticed the difference. Love it.
 
Rosie, Britney, Paris........Irrelevant women getting to much attention. I guess mindless doesn't need to be pretty to get coverage.
 
The things some people will do for attention :barf: I wish i knew what happend to washed up actors and singers that make them suddenly think that their oppenions and thoughts are somehow important, and that everyone else should tag along behind them.

I'm sure the pic was suposed to be making some sort of statement, but eh, I'm not going to let her get under my skin. Kid's probbaly having fun. When i was 4 years old, I would have LOVED to had a bandoleer of (dummy)ammo to play with.
 
You know, if I didn't have a dimmer view of Rosie, I'd assume that the picture was meant to draw attention to the continuing usage of child soldiers around the world.

But no, I figure it has something to do with American overseas deployments...
