So she is a bit crazy. Ok, more than a bit crazy. But seriously. These kids live in like worst world shitholes, with most people having AIDS or dying of starvation or of some terrorist/rebels. These children have like one chance in a million to get a mother like Madonna - it's like winning a fucking lottery ticket.

So why are people all hating on her?

LEAVE MADONNA ALONE!!!!!  :cry:

In other news, I just had a Martini. :P

Well, I understand she went to Malawi wanting to adopt another kid, and she is getting flamed for that a lot. Plus, apparently local courts denied her the right to adopt some orphan because Madonna is "unfit to be a mother".  :rolleyes:

It's a stupid publicity stunt by a has-been whack-job who is looking more & more like Skeletor each day.  That's enough for me to oppose it.

On the plus side, maybe she'd teach him a nice fake British accent :D

The Advocate found some guy in Buttholistan who smiled and nodded when they asked him if Madonna was a bad person for kiddie shopping in the 3rd world. :rolleyes:

See, you are an idiot. First of all, Madonna is hardly a has-been - she has been the "in now" for longer than anyone else.

And besides, even if she is doing this for publicity (I don't think she is - I think she is acting out of some sort of a sense of duty to humanity and whatnot), the kid is likely to have a better life than any alternative he or she could have had in her shitty country. Why not appreciate that?

Speaking of which, I wonder if I can make my Advocate subscription fee tax-deductible, claiming it as a professional expense. :unsure:

She's too old to be "in" as a pop star and her attempted transition to acting failed. She's a has-been.

:yes:

And adopting thirld world kids is the latest celebrity fashion, as very rightly parodied in the BrĂ¼no trailer.

I think you may have described the reasons for the "hate". Some people find Madonna's adoptions morally questionable and less than good deeds. If Madonna really wanted to help, she wouldn't abduct little Mbombo Tmubmokekeke from his surroundings in Eastern Ebolaland, but rather invest heavily in his education and the social fabric around him in his native country.

Then again, all charity basically serves to make people feel good, and personally, I couldn't care less about Madonna's adoptions. However, for some people, the ones left behind are more important than little Mbombo who was SAVED by the grace of The Virgin-Like.
