African Orphans

Why is the media obsessed with this whole Madonna buying a baby thing?! I mean can't a homegirl buy an African baby in peace?! Jesus! Well, the latest story to hit the papers attacks David Banda's father. Here's the headline in the Daily Mail:

Madonna baby's father dumped him to run off with a new woman

Who cares?! Anyway, the article goes on to say that David's father wanted to be with some chick in another village so he dumped his son in an orphanage to be with his new woman. Ugh. Madonna isn't helping things by talking about it, STILL. She said that David's father hardly visited him.

"If someone had said to me, "His dad comes every week or his granny visits on a regular basis and he's well looked after," I would not even have given it another thought."

She wonders why people are still talking about it? Maybe, because she is. She should honestly just stop talking and it will go away. I'm over it.

Madonna and David Banda arrived in the States yesterday to blab more about the adoption. Madge has already told her story on Oprah, but she isn’t stopping there. She arrived in NYC where she will appear on NBC News, The Today Show and Dateline. Lourdes and Rocco came along for the ride.

In other David Banda news, his birth father has backed off claims that he didn’t know Madge was taking his son for good and now says he is fine with everything. He’s happy that Madge and Guy Ritchie will give his son a good life.

Why is she blabbing about this again? That’s the thing with Madge, she can’t let things go. She went on Oprah and set the record straight, shutting up a lot of people. Don’t we know everything already?

That being said, I want a Banda.

Sharon Osbourne needs to shut her damn fug trap. I usually love her ass, but lately she’s been on my last nerve. This time she’s going after Madonna and comparing doll-faced, David Banda, to a Louis Vuitton bag. She told Howard Stern, "She bought a baby for God's sake. It's like getting a Louis Vuitton handbag."

"It's a crock of shit. If she wants to help the kid she should have got the father a little trade going, a fruit stand or something like that and built him a mud hut. If the kid is sick then get him a doctor, what was the father supposed to do, he can't read or write. She should have left him in his own culture, that is what I say. Madonna should have given the money to an orphanage, got them a 24-hour paramedic. She bought a baby for God's sake."

Um, excuse me Sharon “used to be a fat hog” Osbourne. What the hell have you done lately? I sort of agree with her, but Sharon has a lot of money and she could easily do something to help children and has she? No! Madge is a hag face, but at least she’s trying to do something with all her cash and celebrity. Sharon is just going on radio shows running her mouth. Bitch needs to go back being a fat hog, so she can stuff that mouth with a Philly cheesesteak to keep it shut.

Damn I want a cheesesteak.

I'm so sick of that damn accent! Madonna laid it on thick yesterday as she explained to Oprah the reasons for adopting a baby in Africa. We didn't learn anything new. She went into great detail and it almost sounded rehearsed. She wanted to say the right thing and seemed nervous. She came off pretty intelligent and she almost won me over, but I couldn't get her phoney ass accent out of my brains.

She feels that in attacking her and the adoption process, the media is discouraging other people from adopting children. She also said that she didn't receive any special treatment and that everything goes slow in Africa. Later she did say that it is customary to live in Africa for 18 months during the adoption process, but they allowed her to return to London with David instead.

The "Borderline" Madonna was so much more fun. Oprah's eyelashes creep me out. Lastly, David Banda is a doll.

I’m so over this trash! Madonna bought a baby in Africa and got special treatment, because she’s rich and famous? What more to the story is there? Well, she’s going to be on Oprah today to set the story straight. She’s going to blame the media for blowing things out of proportion. Basically she’s going to say that she’s done nothing wrong and it’s all legal and she’s an angel sent from heaven to deliver beautiful unicorns to the poor children of the World. I liked her so much more on that disco cross.

From the Oprah website:

"I didn't realize that the adoption was causing any controversy until I came back," she says. "There were a million film crews in the airport and press camped outside my door. I don't read newspapers or watch television, but all of my friends have let me know what everybody's talking about and what's going on in the news. So it didn't really hit me until I got back to England. It's pretty shocking."

Madonna says that her critics don't really understand how the Malawian adoption process works if they believe she used status to speed up the process of adopting David. "I assure you it doesn't matter who you are or how much money you have, nothing goes fast in Africa," Madonna says. "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. And she did say to me, 'Pick Ethiopia. Go to Kenya. Don't go to Malawi because you're just going to get a hard time.'"

"I'm financing a documentary about orphans in Malawi, so I was allowed to view footage and photographs of a lot of the children. An 8-year-old girl who is living with HIV was holding this child. I became transfixed by him. … But I didn't yet know I was going to adopt him. I was just drawn to him."

David had spent most of his life in an orphanage with 500 other orphans. Madonna didn't know the state of David's health when she was visiting Malawi and considering adopting David. She brought a pediatrician to test all of the children's health for their overall well being, and later learned that David tested negative for tuberculosis, malaria, HIV and other common illnesses striking African orphans.

"When I met him, he was extremely ill," Madonna says. "He had severe pneumonia, and he could hardly breathe. I was in a state of panic, because I didn't want to leave him in the orphanage because I knew they didn't have medication to take care of him. We got permission to take him to a clinic to have a bronchial dilator put on him. … He had pneumonia and was given an injection of antibiotics. He's still a little bit ill, not completely free of his pneumonia, but he's much better than he was when we found him."

When Madonna first arrived in Malawi, she says she didn't know anything about David's parents. She was soon told that his mother had died of HIV and that his three siblings had also died of HIV. At the time, the Minister of Children and Mothers Welfare told Madonna that even though David's biological father's whereabouts were unknown, they would have to find him to give consent for the adoption.

"Here's what I knew. David had been living in this orphanage since he was two weeks old," Madonna says. "He had survived malaria and tuberculosis, and no one from his extended family had visited him since the time he arrived. So from my perspective, there was no one looking after David's welfare."

Once David's father was located, he initially said he gave his son up for adoption always hoping that someone like Madonna would be able to give him a better life, and agreed to the adoption. Now, according to the press, David's father is saying he did not fully understand what he was doing when he agreed to let Madonna adopt his son.

Basically, it goes on and on and you can visit the website or watch her on Oprah today to get the rest of it. That kind of shit bores me, so I won’t go into anymore details. I would be so pissed off to be in Oprah’s audience that day. I get told Madonna is going to be on and bitch is on a TV screen? Hell no!

Warner Bros. promised to give African amputees, prosthetic limbs in exchange for more publicity for their movie, The Blood Diamond. The producers brought in 27 orphaned amputees to appear as extra in the Leonardo DiCaprio flick.

Pictures of Leonardo with the children were released last week. In addition to paying the children, producers said they would have limbs made for them. Sluts lied. Filming wrapped in June and the orphans still haven’t gotten what they were promised.

When an organization benefiting the orphans asked producers, they received this response, "You will have to wait for December, when the movie comes out, so we can get some publicity out of it."

A rep for WB says, “We are still working on it.”

What the hell is wrong with everyone taken advantage of these orphans and using them for publicity? This movie is going to tank anyway.

The father of David Banda aka Madonna’s latest purchase, is very confused about the whole adoption thing. Yohana Banda didn’t realize that she was taking his son for good; he thought the woman was just borrowing him. You know like one would borrow a cup of sugar.

He said, "Our understanding was that they would educate and take care of our son just as they were doing at the orphanage. I am just realizing now the meaning of adoption."

This is a completely different statement he made last week. When human rights groups were pissed that Madge was adopting an African boy, he responded, "As David's father I have no problem (with the adoption), so what is their concern?"

Looks like his ass is having a change of heart and methinks it’s too late.

"If we were told that she wants to take the baby as her own we could not have consented, because I see no reason why I should give away my son."

Yohana said that he does not want his son to return to the orphanage, so I guess everything will stay as is. When asked to comment young David said,

“Papa don’t preach, I’m in trouble deep.”

Okay, lame.
