OK Cameron, et al. You first

I was thinking along the same lines. I'm sure they come back to the U.S. and promptly got rid of their conveniences.

Do you think they took their cell & satellite phones on these trips?

The public face of eco-imperialism. Anyone see that National Geographic where they went to Rawanda to capture an alligator that had eaten upwards of 20 villagers? The American host of the show caught it then put it in a box so they could ship it to a nature refuge. He didn't even tie it up so it would be "comfortable". The alligator escaped that night and the host gave a quick "sorry" to the villagers and then left.

Thanks for the up-date. I heard about the alligator and its capture, but I didn't hear about what happened after.

Cheeze, no wonder these characters have been dubbed "Revolutionaries with a return ticket": They go, they "enlighten", they leave.

Barrymore, apparently enthralled by the lack of a modern sanitary facilities, gleefully bragged, "I took a poo in the woods hunched over like an animal. It was awesome."

Why just fancy if it had been "that time of month" for Barrymore, and she -- like the other of her noble-savage sisterhood -- had to make do with available, all natural, resources. I bet those five or so days would have been just "totally awesome".

"Rich liberals would make more sense if they gave up their wealth and took a monastic lifestyle of poverty and service to God."

Yeah! Just like Cat Stevens did! /sarcasm (Oh. you didn't mean THAT God...nevermind.) ;)

Shows like these just underscore how clueless the Hollyweird leftists truly are. And their base audience doesn't understand the irony, either. Doorknobs. All of 'em.

"Diaz also criticized the lifestyles of many Americans after visiting an indigenous village in Chile. "It's kinda gotten out of hand how much convenience we think we need," she said."

Reminds me of something I read several years ago (and really wish I'd kept) where one of the environmentalists was holding up, as an example of how all of America should live, a village in Nepal. This village had just put photo-voltaic cells on the roof of each house. These cells provided sufficient power for a hot plate, a sixty watt light bulb, and a radio. Yep, that's something to aspire too.

"Would that be the same Cameron Diaz who makes an assistant shave her armpits for her?"

Face like a pooch but a nice fanny.

Oh goody in a double role no doubt. As both the butthole and the excrement.

I thought it was "think globally and act locally"?

Not if you're an aristo-celebrity.

This is like an Onion article I read a while back, "Woman who loves Brazil has only seen four acres of it". One of the things that the article also didn't mention was the off-camera body guards that kept the "wonderful natives" at bay. They were not eating native food or drinking the local water.
