Brangelina may not enter Namibia? [They're 'colonial overlords']

I usually could care less about these two, but I found this amusing. It looks like they had their baby in Namibia so that they could have the entire Namibian government at their disposal. I don't know how accurate Xinhua is though...

[sarasota]

I'd like an explanation of "heavy handed and brutal tactics". Isn't money and publicity at the root of it?

[The Toll]

The first rule of Colonial Overlord Club has been broken gentlemen.

[Hegemony Cricket]

"Abuse of Power" - HAHAHAHAHA - How does it feel to be on the receiving end of a snit like that instead of dishing it out?

[OldFriend]

If I read an article about this birth correctly.....they brought their own doctors from hollywood with them.

Talk about a photo op and creation of a myth, this gal sure takes the cake.

Fatuity would appear to be an ever-expanding balloon. I watch because I keep hoping for it to go "pop"---how I destest celebrities.

'.. Angelina has confessed she was "terrified" while giving birth to her daughter'

No, someone should inform this liberal half-wit that terror, REAL TERROR is throwing yourself from the 80th floor because you'd rather go that way than be burned to death.

On the other hand, probably most Americans have never heard or know nothing about Namibia. All this news may arouse curiosity. Maybe tourism dollars. This may end up beneficial to this country.

[loreldan]

Yep.

[brytlea]

I remember feeling alot of things upon the births of my 3 children, but terror was not one of them. I wonder why she was so worried? Perhaps because she had her baby in a 3rd world country?

and they wanted "privacy" and then sold pictures of the baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hershey]

Namibia should have known better than to kowtow to this pair of lunatics.

[Constitution Day]

LOL

[OldFriend]

You mean your heart didn't stop while waiting to hear that first cry.

My youngest is about to turn 29 and I still remember that moment of waiting, which seemed like forever.

[308MBR]

Well, the entire continent functioned a lot better when it was really operated by "colonial overlords". What's the problem?

[garyhope]

With all the massive, narcissistic egotism, you would hope that these self-indulgent narcissists get a little insight into their behavior or image.

[loreldan]

All your 2-bit, third world countries are belong to us. We're series.

[GretchenM]

Namibia's teeth-chattering, handwringing National Society for Human Rights just told the whole world how easy it is to push their entire country around.

Not that I admire Brad and Angelina's game plan.

[SuziQ]

I'm still trying to figure out why they went to Namibia? Was it because they didn't want papparazzi? Sounds like extreme measures to me.

[brytlea]

Hey, my oldest is 29! No, I mean I was very interested, but I could see the baby, and he was clearly alive. (I didn't know that he wasn't supposed to be that gray color!) No, terror was not on my list of feelings.
