Altruistic

drew_030408.jpgAltruistic: (Adjective) The belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.

On yesterday's Oprah, Drew Barrymore announced that she's donating one million dollars of her own money to the World Food Programme to feed starving children in Kenya, as evidenced by the oversized novelty check pictured above. In a statement, Drew says:

"I have seen with my own eyes what a difference a simple cup of nutritious porridge can make in a child's life. It helps them learn, stay healthy and sets them on track for a bright future."

Porridge?! Just how the hell is porridge going to give anyone a bright future?! If Drew was really altruistic, she would have used that million dollars to buy one of those starving kids, rip that child out of his or her native land to be lavished upon a life of luxury and comfort. But I guess that's what sets apart so-called humanitarians like Drew "Half-Assed" Barrymore from the real saints like Madonna and Angelina Jolie.

She seems like a nice girl, but I sometimes think Drew is less "altruistic" than she is "autistic." Zing!


You're an idiot said:

someone does something nice and all you have is snark. You all suck!


Not to denigrate your reading comprehension abilities, 'You're an idiot', but I feel I should respectfully point out that you may have misconstrued the tone of the article somewhat.

I agree...you all suck! Porridge for hundreds is better than D&G for one!
