Tact
Tact: (Noun) Adroitness and sensitivity in dealing with others or with difficult issues.Yesterday I posted pictures of Madonna touring around Malawi while she waits for her crushing wealth to influence a Malawian judge to let her steal another one of Malawi's native children. In the photos, while Madonna tours, say, impoverish schools, she is seen wearing a seemingly innocuous tracksuit. The funny thing? It turns out her outfit cost almost $3 grand.
After arriving she toured an impoverished school but refused to talk to reporters. She was, in the words of the AP, "dressed casually" in a black velour tracksuit and white fedora. But that casual look costs about $2,800.
A look at the photos shows her dressed-down attire is a Chanel tracksuit, tone-on-tone labels blazing from her shoulder and the stripes down her leg. Huffington Post placed a call to the 57th Street store in New York Monday with a casual inquiry, and a helpful saleswoman priced a similar ensemble at $2,800. A zip front jacket is $1,600 and the pants about $1,200. (Source)
Way to rub it in Madonna. In Malawi, the only way anyone could justify spending three thousand dollars on a tracksuit is if their entire family and the families of everyone they know could actually eat the tracksuit for the rest of their entire lives. And velour stew just isn't very tasty, from what I hear.
Day 2 of Third World Country Baby Stealing Tour 2009:
I don't see anything wrong with that. The woman is wealthy, what should she have done, gone to K-Mart and brought a Jaclyn Smith special? That would have been tactless.
Why is she, once again, being criticized for wanting to get a child out of poverty? I don't agree with a lot of things these celebs do, but wanting to adopt children from bad situations isn't one of them.
Well for one thing, she keeps adopting orphans who are not in fact orphans.
Madonna and her syncophants who claim she's "saving" all the babies she steals need to read up on cultural relativism.
Notice how the strategically placed "Malawi" t-shirt emphasizes how much she really cares.
They're, like, doing Africa and stuff...
It's, like, worldly and cosmopolitan...
Like, making a difference and stuff...
Last time I checked one didn't have to be an orphan to be adopted. I'm no Madonna sycophant, but blasting a woman for adoption is stupid. David was given up by his father, he was in an orphanage. The little she wants to adopt is also in an orphanage. How the heck is that stealing? The parents/relatives willingly gave up the kids.
The parents might have, but the children have family members who would like to remain close to them even if they can't support them. You might blast the family members for being selfish and wanting to keep the child in an environment not even close to what Madonna could provide, but Madonna is still taking children away from people who love them.
Than why didn't the government say no? Why didn't those family members show up and stake claim? It doesn't make sense.
