That's his hunting name.

How dare Malawi have the effrontery to enforce their laws as written!  Don't they understand that Western celebrities are above such trivialities as a civil code?  Don't they get that because Martinus thinks they are a shithole, their entire legislative corpus automatically vanishes?

What every happened to the Martinus that lectures us on the strict application of rule of law?

His knees get a little weak from a Madonnna gaycrush, and it all goes out the window.   :D

I almost used that name from the Brainy the Pooh short from Pinky and the Brain.
PDH!

I don't think anyone sane could maintain that Malawi legal system should trump Madonna.  :P

Well I for one... Oh... :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Who's Madonna?

QFT.  What is this?  1996?
:huh: She had a number 1 hit and album in 2005.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I sort of agree. Even if its a pure publicity stunt the kid still has a far better life than anyone back home. Better than most western kids even.
I suppose the whole issue is one of morales and letting the rich do anything, etc...

I think there's something mildly obscene about shopping for children. 

Also foreign adoptions, I'm sure she's very good on this, but they do need a bit of scrutiny.  There's some website in the UK government's sites that lists reputable agency because there are some criminal aspects to it in some countries.

You watch MTV?  What the fuck, are you gay?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
