Will Ferrell has landed in hot water after making an online video clip featuring a two-year-old girl swearing and demanding alcohol.The 'Anchorman' star made the short comedy sketch - posted on FunnyorDie.com - with director and co-writer friend Adam McKay's daughter Pearl.Ferrell plays a lay-about in the film while the sweet, innocent toddler plays a drunk, cursing landlady demanding her rent. Pearl says "b***h", "c**p" and "a**-h**e" and claims to be "buzzed" while clutching a bottle of beer.The clip has infuriated some viewers, but McKay has leapt to the defence of the comic star.McKay told People magazine: "Fortunately she is in this great stage now where she repeats anything you say to her and then forgets it right away, which is key."She has not said the 'B-word' since we shot the thing. We invited a friend with a camera over and shot it in about 45 minutes.
