Do this, don't do that, can't you read...the signs. Mass kidnappings of Nigerian school girls is the confusing news of the month for me. I read every little stupid article in the news and I still don't understand it all. Do you? More than 200 school girls were kidnapped to be sold into forced marriage, breeding programs and sexual slavery and the thought of it is more than most of us can take. But, this is Nigeria, what the fuck are we supposed to do about it? Realistically. The Nigerian president is asking the world for help. The US is a world power? Please. Not any more. We're a broke ass joke now. Can this lead to more war? How big a war? Can we afford it?..oh, hell no. Even my dumb ass knows that. Aren't we kind of busy fucking with Russia, North Korea and Iran/Iraq bullshit to name a few? Can we wade into another religiously motivated 'morals' war? The kidnappers are Islamic militant terrorists. Umm, don't we have experience with those types. Uhh, yeah. 9/11 anyone?
Now we have douche bag stars like Anne Hathaway with a bullhorn, yelling 'Bring our girls back!" 'Our' girls? And I'm betting you don't understand this whole thing any better than I do. Maybe you do. But, the reporting is nothing but sensational and as factual as a popcorn fart. I find out more in comments than I ever will in the news. But, with every informed comment, you have to go dig for facts and sort it all out. I haven't had time. Have you? No? So, fuck Anne Hathaway. I don't need her big mouth in my face with her signs. What good does that do? Who does she think she is, anyhow?
Celebs with signs, HERE. Even Angelina makes it sound like a man vs. woman war. What? The US said it will help, what more do these celebs want? Do they think they run this country by themselves? Are their heads that big? Sometimes I think the US should put it's tail between it's spindly legs and slink off like the starved dog it is. Let me know when Anne Hathaway becomes our next President. Oh, but, she has a sign! That will do it. Oh, and also in the crowd with Anne was a popular film maker. Really? How convenient.
Maybe I'm just cynical, tired and uninformed. Yep, that's probably it. I'm also not a celebrity. AKA, The Enlightened. Constantly bringing 'awareness' to shit that's already in our faces.

Anon, I do not participate. I don't have time and I'm not interested.
Good on you Pat!
About Nigerian girls.... I think the outrage lies in the fact that these lunatics are promoting the ideal that girls should marry young and live a life of domestic servitude rather that do what all young girls do, get an education, plan a future. it's captured the hearts and minds of men and women world wide. Here in Australia we firstly complained that no one cared, because it happened in Nigera, so it's been rewarding to see a groundswell of support growing around the globe. America isn't in this on its own and if they weren't seen to be participating, they would lose their reputation as 'defenders of freedom'.
Hollywood celebrities are only speaking out because the infamous Beverly Hills Hotel is owned by a muslim who believes in Shira law. Hollywood could care less about the Nigerian girls. Nigeria has nothing to offer the US in the way of money $$$, so those girls are history to their families. Sad but true. Hollywood is so phony it makes play dough looks real.
Speaks the Truth, I know I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack so please explain to me how the owner--muslim--of a hotel can sway celebs in their thoughts, unless he kidnapped the girls and are holding them in the hotel. Seems more like they are just grandstanding like they do on many causes.
Please explain.
Jane, Hollywood is predominately gay. The owner of the Beverly Hills Hotel stones people for being gay. You figure it out.
This will speak to you Pat.

Thanks for the link, but, I was asking what hollywood can really do, not commenting on the horror of the crime.
