Rubina Ali's Father Tried To Sell Her
Well, here's a truly fucked up and sad story for a Sunday. The News of the World (I know, I know) claims that 9-year-old Rubina Ali, one of the stars of Slumdog Millionaire, has been put on the auction block by her daddy Rafiq Qureshi. OctoMommy, don't get any ideas.....
The News of the World got all Dateline NBC on Rafiq and sent an undercover reporter to pretend to be a sheik (Why am I picturing Ann Curry as the sheik?) interested in buying Rubina for around £270,000. They did this after finding out a deal between Rafiq and a family in Dubai to buy Rubina fell through.
Rafiq told the fake sheik that he has no choice but to sell his daughter, because the producers of Slumdog never made good on their promise to buy the family a house and get them out of the slums. Rafiq told the fake sheik, "They haven't looked after us. They gave some money at the start but they gave us nothing afterwards. They gave us around 150,000 rupees (£2,040). They've been talking about giving us a house, but all they do is talk. What they showed in the film is exactly how life is here. The government doesn't help us. We get nothing. We live in one room, seven of us sleep on the floor. I earn £2 to £3 a day. I have to consider what's best for me, my family and Rubina's future. We haven't got anything yet, it's all supposed to come later!"
Danny Boyle and the producers of Slumdog have already said that they set up a trust fund for the kids to pay for their education and housing. In addition to that, a sound engineer who worked on the film bought each of the kids an apartment in South India. But Rubina's daddy still claims they haven't seen shit.
After finding out about this fuckery, Rubina's mother showed up to Rafiq's house this morning and demanded that her daughter be removed. Rafiq denies trying to sell his daughter, but his second wife said a foreign woman offered to buy Rubina and they turned her down. This led to Rubina's mother and her stepmother punching and choking each other out in front of the house!!
Save the Children was quick to respond and asked India to sign up to to the International Labor Organization's convention to help stop the selling of children to the highest bidder.
And somewhere in the world, Angie Jolie is raising her hand and asking, "Does he accept PayPal?"

The kid is totally adorable and Ive got a paypal account-can I adopt her?
"NOSOPD -Not our sort of person darling"
Why should I care about that kid?! Plenty of AMERICAN children are dirt poor and are hungry. I wish USA would stop giving $ to other countries. Instead help its own citizens.
If he makes 3 pounds a day, and received 2040 pounds he was just given 6 years (give or take) salary. Assuming he has a low-income job, let's just say he makes equvalent to $20,000 a year. Six years salary would buy a pretty decent house in an American suburb... it would probably buy a full-on mansion there. WTF?
What must it be like to know you owe your life to the News of the World?
As for this guy, all I can say is - bloody poor people. As usual their kids are made to suffer for their ignorance and idiocy. And he'll probably produce 4 more kids in the next 6 years. Sterilise the bastard.
What do you mean OctoMommy dont get any ideas? You mean more like, psychos Angelina and Madonna dont get any ideas. They'll probably get into a celebrity death match to see who is gonna get her.
Dumb psycho whores....

Damn, that would give all new meaning to the phrase, "DEAD PRESIDENT". Seriously, we had enough republican zombies running shit. The last thing we need is the zombie of this senile motha fucka back on the job. Thanks but nah.
Child selling...wow. We were just talking about this today. I see disturbing things when I'm in Thailand, children sold for sex, and if they've got too many there, cut off their hands and feet and make them beg. How do you make the leap to where you don't value your kids enough-they're just cattle? You're just having them to fatten them up for the kill. I guess it won't be long before we just have kids and keep them in cages and then just harvest them for their body parts someday.
One of the worst/best movies ever was Lilya 4-Ever about this little girl that gets left behind in some Russian hole of a town when her mother doesn't want her anymore because her new boyfriend that she met from America doesn't want kids so they take off and leave her and she has to prostitute herself. It's really realistic and good, but fuck, it makes you think about how shitty the world is.
This is why I'm glad they DIDN'T just hand all that money over to the parents.
You know those kids would have never touched a fucking cent of it. Of course it would be better for them to have an actual home and better living conditions, but you can't trust parents to spend their children's money properly when it's big sums like that, especially if they've never handled that much before. Blah blah blah poor girl.

In the first you're saying that 'you all' view you as xyz. Then you go on to magnamiously state that you're okay with that.
In the second sentence you have a somewhat - "nice dress did you make it yourself" - kind of comment. YOU realize that it's easier to stereotype people than look beyond. Easier?! That's a tad patronizing.

I know, I know. I see it in business a lot.
Small firms that are special and win business because of their ethics and practices and the way they treat employees. So many feel the need to sell out to the big guys and then all the good stuff gets lost.
Saw it just a few weeks ago - was talking with a firms rep who was very ernest and genuine talking about how the success of the firm is solely dependant upon it's employees etc etc...
All I could think of was the many companies I've seen or worked at that also had those values then sold out or got squished. yeah yeah, time for your sex tape!

can you tell me of any religiously funded or administered charities that do not advertise or promote their religious affiliations in any way?
********************************
I've actually been struggling with this kinda shit on a personal level, lately. I know what you mean and it's fucking frustrating. I've been dealing with a very large charity that I REALLY believe in...or believed in...or SOMETHING...it's like, they're getting sucked into that vortex of obnxiously materialistic behaviour...but, really - I've been watching, they're not going wilingly so much as they're being sucked into it just for need. Because values rest SO heavily, in general in society, on monetary gain it's almost like they have no choice. They do, of course. We always have choices. But it's like, they've been driven into so much constant panic, they can't see it. It breaks my heart to watch them slowly lose their human touch.
I, myself, am trying to narrowly escape the panic and maintain integrity - and really, becuz the whole point of everything I'm doing is totally lost otherwise. It chokes a bitch on the daily but I wouldn't be the first to push past it if I succeed. (see Ani DiFranco:)
