Madonna tells the media that it’s the media’s fault she’s in the media
According to Yahoo!: - “Madonna told Oprah Winfrey Tuesday she was surprised by the firestorm surrounding her efforts to adopt a 13-month-old boy from the African country of Malawi. And she blamed the media for it.”
Didn’t Madonna ever learn that one of the tried and true rules of pop stardom is: “If one steals a child from Malawi, the media will follow”?
Here is the adoption as I have followed it:
1. Madonna makes out with Britney Spears (okay, that was long before the adoption, but it was still awesome).
2. Madonna accidentally ends up in mysterious country “Malawi”; tries to perform concert until she realizes they do not have wheat or rice, let alone audio/visual system.
3. Madonna eats sandwich, takes a nap.
4. Upon exiting Malawi, Madonna sees small, emaciated child; mistakes it for microphone and packs it up.
5. Madonna gets home to London and discovers microphone wants a snack.
6. Madonna realizes her erratum; adopts child.
7. Madonna blames media for everything that has ever happened.
I’m all for helping the world and adopting chilluns in need and all that, but wouldn’t it make more sense for Madonna to just donate all of the dollars she will spend on this kid to the village that he came from? I’m fairly certain that the entire community could eat, stave off Malaria, and get year subscriptions to Highlights for the amount of money Madonna will spend paying a nanny to look after David/Daniel/Microphone for a month.
