Helping

You know what really chaps my ass? When these celebrities speak out on the war or on charitable causes, while they sit on their piles of money and expect regular schmoes to do all the work -- as if associating their name with a cause is charity enough. Well fuck that. Angelia Jolie and Brad Pitt just plunked down $1 million through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation to help children affected by the Iraq War.

The Jolie-Pitt Foundation will provide $500,000 for school supplies and education programs for refugee children in Iraq and $500,000 for American children who either lost a parent deployed in Iraq or have a parent serving in that country. (Source)

It's times like this, I see that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt really are kind, altruistic people; so maybe I should go on a moratorium of giving them shit. Well, unless they name their twins something stupid or she wears an ugly dress, of course. I'm only human, for chrissakes.
