1. It's a shame there aren't any little orphans here to adopt

:sarcasm:

4. What about Brad?

Or don't blonde philandering movie stars count?

[Cha]

2. Somebody's going to

have to start adopting little Iraqi children next..I admire what she's able to do..give her love and life to the orphans of the world.

3. Stop the presses!

City desk, anything? Sports? State news? No?

Just shut up, National bureau, OK? No one wants to hear some shit about Washington going nuts.

Been there, ignored that already.

Gossip Chickie! Yeah, you there! What ya got for us today?

5. I'm not going to slam her.

She's doing some good out in the world.

6. The reason I posted has nothing to do with Ms. Jolie.

And everything to do with the jackass editor who saw fit to post it.

9. OK

10. You don't think the editor should have put a story about an actress and her

newly adopted child in the entertainment news? Yes what a jackass they must be for putting such in entertainment news.

[tuvor]

11. Well, be sure and let me know when they post that she scratched her ass.

I mean, come on. What could be more banal? Sure, it's entertainment news that she adopted the kid. It kind of just naturally follows that she'll be hugging him and playing with him; am I wrong?

Let me put it another way: I'll consider it news if she doesn't hug and play with her newly-adopted child.

13. The story says she stayed out of public view afterward, they paid people to report

they reported what they could.

[tuvor]

14. That doesn't mean an editor needed to publish it.

What can I say? The headline struck me as so absurd, I decided to post it, solely for its own sake.

[RB TexLa]

15. An editor who didn't post any bit of news about the person with the name

consisting of words that are 19th on the most searched list yahoo buzz list would be out of a job. They want people who search to land on their site, if they do not put material that causes that they will be replaced.

However, yes it is an odd headline, but I hardly think the person deciding to publish it is worthy of the jackass title.

[tuvor]

17. I can see your point.

And perhaps "jackass" was somewhat inaccurate and unearned. Hopefully he/she is just new at the job; otherwise, I'm fearing more headlines that are equally as pointless.

[Ilsa]

7. exactly, and what she is doing is more than i have been

willing to take on.

[Horse with no Name]

12. Can you imagine how wonderful

it is for that little boy who has never known anything but an orphanage to be adopted by such a loving person?
With all of the things that are wrong in the Universe...this is something that gives me thankful pause.
My plate is full. I do not have the resources to do what she can. I applaud her for it.

8. and it encourages others to do the same.

16. Replace Jolie with Jackson and you have a rea..... excuse me....
