UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – The newest United Nations messenger of peace, actress Charlize Theron, made her name in hard-hitting movies about abused women but she says audiences don't want to see that kind of film.

Theron was appointed Monday a messenger of peace with a special focus on ending violence against women. Her job will be to promote U.N. activities and ideals through public appearances and media contacts.

It amazes me that we can be so technologically advanced, yet have a citizenry that is so stupid.

I am seriously concerned about the future of mankind.

I think it's hilariously ironic that Charlize Theron is one of the relatively few actual African-Americans (African-born American).

Why is everybody complaining? I for one like the idea of pretty actresses being heads of UN agencies. How about Cameron Diaz for International Atomic Energy Agency?

Let me guess.... her first task will be action against Sarah Palin for Palin’s hateful attitudes about families, children, abortion, special needs children, Jesus, frugality......

This continues to validate my theory that Obama surrounds himself with people that are intellectually inferior to him so that in contrast, he can seem bright. And brother, that ain't easy. You have to go to Hollywood pretty early in the game to find gems who have no actual value as human beings, but have convinced themselves that they are successful sages.
