Madonna and Child (Oh shut up — like you didn't think it)

madonna.jpgSay what you will about Madonna, but I adore this photo.

And for me, this is so far the best quote in this saga.

“I assure you, it doesn’t matter who you are or how much money you have, nothing goes fast in Africa,” Madonna said, according to oprah.com. “There are no adoption laws in Malawi. And I was warned by my social worker that because there were no known laws in Malawi, they were more or less going to have to make them up as we went along.”

HAHA! Madonna has a social worker! Ours sucked ASS and I hope hers is better, but seriously, this is the part that made this story more human for me. Well that and this part.

If Madonna gives David back, he will end up like his siblings — dead.

So yeah.

(And speaking of totally non-original post titles, apparently I’m incredibly succeptible. Like mind-control me in 2 minutes and I’ll withdraw our life savings for you. Of course, it is like $40, but I’m just saying. Oh the point, I just saw Izzy’s post called “Stop the Insanity” again and I have a post from later that day called “STOP the insanity!” Fuck I’m dumb. Sorry Izzy, totally a result of my moronic brain, and not some sort of pathetic plagiarism scheme gone awry!)

    Is it just me, or does Lourdes look EXACTLY like her Mom?

    I love the whole saga. It’s such a great story. The best part of it are all the do-gooders shouting about the welfare of the child and that he should have stayed in Africa where his ‘roots’ are. I especially love all the outraged bellowing about his psychological welfare being at risk because he’ll be brought up outside his culture. Erm, excuse me. The poor kid lived in an orphanage because his father (who, by the way, is delighted that his son is being whisked off by an astoundingly rich pop star) can’t afford to feed him. If he stayed where he was he would have a life expectancy of around 36 years old, not much chance of an education and would count himself lucky to have a decent meal every day. Culture and starvation v. every chance in life? I know what I’d choose for my child.

    No worries…lol

    I kind of lifted it from that wacky diet and fitness lady with the white crew cut. What was her name again? She wrote a book called “Stop the Insanity” several years back.
