Jesus Madge, give it a rest already. We know how badly you want to adopt the little Malawian girl you've already named Mercy (great PR name btw: almost every tabloid can find a way to work Mercy into their hed), but it's just not going to happen. Or rather, if it does happen I'm going to lose whatever last vestige of faith I had in Humanity (ironically, my first child's name) if it's proven once and for all that celebrity status and wealth can literally buy you a human life these days. Because you know what's fucked up?

If Madonna really cared about poverty and children's conditions in 3rd world countries, she wouldn't be so goddamn picky about which accessory baby she was getting. Why does it have to be specifically from Malawi? Why can't she adopt a less photogenic child? Why not, and here's a crazy thought…adopt one of the millions of orphaned kids currently in America's foster programs? Guess that wouldn't make for such a great headline though, especially since you can't just rename American kids to something more adorable.
