Why, oh why is it that for no reason other than the fact that they left Namibia with their baby, front page news on CNN's website?! It's a "top story".

http://www.cnn.com/

Is this something the general public is in dire need of knowing about?

Why? It's just maddening.


I just wasted precious time starting a thread about it too.



Ok, I'm slightly more composed now.

My current affairs is a bit crap, but surely theres more going on in Nambia than one celebrity couple adopting one baby?!

Arent there loads more babies in need? Maybe they should show them on the news

PS Im a Jen fan

They didn't adopt it. She birthed it.

PS - I'm not a Jen fan. Not a Brad and Angelina fan either

ya know, if they're using their fame and ubiquity to pimp the cause of feeding starving children, then i can deal with seeing them all over the place.

still annoying, but good for them.

Anx said:

I can't. I really can't. I'm starting to have physically violent reactions whenever I hear or see them mentioned.

Will this help?

RipHer2Shreds said:

I thought she had adopted all her kids? Are you sure?

susannah said:

Adopted two. He put his thingy in her what's-it to make this one.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I see. I must have missed the whole pregnancy thing then Never seen a pic!

Cloudbuster said:

I actually thought of this pic yesterday when I was running.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I realize now that I'm just fanning the flames with this thread of course.

minneapolisgenius said:

Its ok. youre not to blame!

I just clicked it. the "government assisted privacy" must be the reason ive seen no pictures!

susannah said:

I guess. I didn't even read the article really, because it didn't seem to be about anything other than the fact they were leaving town.

In other news, Dan/RipHer2Shreds has never seen Friends I've just found out.

minneapolisgenius said:

I'm surprised you didn't lose concentration, trip over and smash your face to pieces on the pavement.

minneapolisgenius said:

Now THATS news!!

Has he been living on mars?!

Cloudbuster said:

I used all my dancer's grace ( ) to overcome that.


I still ended up smashing my face though.

susannah said:

He has. I'm not supposed to tell anyone though.

Anx said:

minneapolisgenius said:

its ok, I can keep a secret! Im just so shocked!

Anx said:

but theyre not this time though are they? or are they?

susannah said:

I have no clue.

susannah said:

It's true. Doesn't interest me in the least. Sitcoms in general haven't interested me since the early 90s.

RipHer2Shreds said:

But Friends is better than anything that was on in the early 90s!! The early-middle stuff anyway

I honestly didnt think there were still people who hadnt seen it! Exceot in, you know, developing countries and whatnot...

RipHer2Shreds said:

I love That 70s Show. The first few years of it anyway. I'm obsessed with it and I watch it every night w/ my parents when I'm in the States.

susannah said:

Antarctica.

susannah said:

I think sitcoms are terrible now. The writing's awful and most people in them aren't funny. It gets worse - I've seen one episode of Seinfeld (it was a'ight), not a single episode of E'erybody Lubs Raymond or Will & Grace.

Here she is...sweet...

SHANNA said:

Angelina manages to look filthy, even in a photo of her newborn child.

For shame, Angelina.

what the fuck?!!
