Hillary Duff says: "Stop comparing homosexuals to your fugly shirt."

Breaking news! A key former member of the Disney mutant army has already escaped and is running wild, schooling America's youth in a series of PSAs about tolerance. Here she is explaining to some girls how the phrase "that's so gay" is, for lack of a better term, a totally gay thing to say.

And then she insults their outfits some more. Because she is SASSY.

I appeciate the message of this video, but I don't even know what Hillary Duff does for a living anymore. I know her sister hosted that Legally Blonde show. I'm just saying, PSAs are a tough business, and you can't just stick anybody in them.

Plus, whether real celebrities are onboard or not, I believe the only PSAs that work are the ones that effectively scare the hell out of teenagers. That's why the best anti-smoking ads go with less obvious spokespeople, like throat-cancer guy and melted-face-from-the-lit-cigarette-that-burned-down-my-house lady. I'm not sure yet how that can apply in this situation (You're the professionals! I write a damn blog!) but I know teens are going to need the fear of immediate death drilled into them before they stop being homophobic. All this video gave me was a fear of Hillary Duff randomly showing up in my mall and liking my jeans.

Side note: Is there a reason she's carrying three purses? I'm asking honestly.
