The onion post (quote #8) is funny.

I wonder if Brangelina are still going to adopt from India.

Hey brangelina, That’s an awful thing to do naming your new chid India. What if people started calling you Angelina USA and you Brad USA. The same way you should think about your own child and name it something that for goodness sake won’t make you’re child be made fun of.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW JUDGEMENTAL SO MANY OF YOU SPOILED AMERICAN ARE!!!!!! I AM AMERICAN MYSELF BUT HAVE BEEN TO COUNTRIES WHERE THE PARENTLESS CHILDREN SLEEP ON THE STREETS WITH THERE BONES RUBBING AGAINST THE GROUND(not to mention their all to often empty stomachs). I THINK THAT WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT HONORABLE AND COMPASSIONATE. SHE IS INSPIRING PEOPLE TO ADOPT AND THAT IS AMAZING. TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO DO SOMETHING OF WORTH RATHER THAN THE INSATIABLE SEARCH FOR MEANINGLESS OBJECTS,SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ON THE “WONDERS OF THE WORLD”. I ALSO THINK THAT IS A REALLY COOL NAME. I SHOULD LET ALL YOU JUDGERS GET BACK TO YOUR MEANINGLESS LIVES AND VIDEO GAMES! P.S. I AM TRYING TO ADOPT FROM INDIA. I WAS TALKING WITH A WOMAN LAST NIGHT WHO HAS ADOPTED THREE CHILDREN FROM INDIA AND SHE SAID THAT THEY ARE SO GRATEFUL. FOR INSTANCE CHARLIE BROWN WAS ON LAST NIGHT AND HER YOUNGEST DAUGHTER JUST KEPT THANKING HER BECAUSE SHE WAS SO HAPPY. I HOPE YOUR SOME WHAT ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES BUT PROBABLY NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to Brad & Angelina’s baby Shiloh yesterday! She had her birthday cake in Cannes. Here’s something fun about Shiloh…an astrology reading on video that predicts who her future husband will be and when she’ll get married. http://www.flownetworkproductions.com/shilohjoliepitt.htm

I predict that the bad boyfriend at 18 will be Michael Joseph Consuelos (Kelly Ripa’s son), and that the good husband at age 28 will be Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr. (Michael Jackson’s son). I figure by that time Mike Jr. will have had enough therapy that he will make a good husband. Both of these guys are ten years older than Shiloh. (When you watch the video, this will make more sense.) What does everyone else think?

hi all re:#34 my partner and i are in the process of adopting a child from india, and hopefully from w. bengal. we’ve just started, but the whole process should take about 1.5 years (this is canada i’m in BTW). we go through a home study (our social worker conducting it is desi, she used to work at the indian adoption agency CARA) which takes about 4 months. i am applying for my “overseas citizenship of india” which i can now do since i think 2005. the adoption agency head says that orphanages in india have to offer the child for adoption to indian families first, and 3x. then NRIs (both parents) then one desi families. if both parents are not desi they don’t even bother anymore. there is also a program that would allow me to adopt the child myself as a hindu—there is a religious ceremony and everything. but we are not taking that option b/c a)this child is supposed to be both of ours, and b)i’m a musician and i don’t make any money. just fyi for everyone. d

brangelina should name the kid "confused 4th child" because that is what she will be.

Well, I have a pretty clear sense of identity, so maybe I don't understand what identity issues are all about, but is it really that bad? I mean the girl now has a shot at opportunities that could never have been possible had she had to stay on in the orphanage in India. A few identity issues seem to be a reasonable price for that.

i worked at an orphanage for abused children in costa rica-- the rule in costa rica at the time (2002) was that no foreign couples could adopt costa rican children. the government actively searched for good costa rican families in which to place the children. i was lucky enough to be there when the oldest girl, 11yrs, was adopted by a family-- a moment i will never forget.

brangelina should name the kid "confused 4th child" because that is what she will be.

Hey folks, Bharati is the name for Saraswati Ma.

and also the statement "they'd like to name the child India to honour its homeland"-sounds bizzare-did they mean that they's like to name the child India out of respect, because if they didn't then it really sounds strange. aha, so we would be honoured if the great Brangelina named their child after India.
