How exactly will she do that? Well, she’s going to adopt an African kid from the African nation of Malawi because, well, she’s rich, white, and she’s seen how well it’s done for Angelina Jolie in the press. Now personally I still don’t know how this is saving Africa, or even Malawi, but I guess that kid she decides to adopt will end up in London with a real British accent unlike mom and, um, get stuff for free and junk. Oh, Madonna, you’re so disgustingly predictably. But wait! It seems as if there are people who doesn’t like the idea of Madonna using their country’s orphans as a publicity stunt.
Reuters says:
Malawi rights groups vowed on Wednesday to press ahead with a legal bid to stop Madonna from adopting a local one-year old boy, even though the child’s family have given their consent to the pop diva… Madonna has said she wants to give Banda a better life than he would have had at the orphanage where he lived in Malawi but activists accuse her of using her fame to bypass Malawi’s laws, which ban adoption by foreigners.
Uh oh! What’s a has-been singer gotta do to get some free publicity around here? Adopt a Cambodian kid?
