I think celebs adopting third world children is disgusting!
Advertisements [?]
I think it is the ultimate stroke of vanity. For instance, Madonna recently essentially bought a African child from a deprived village and is trying to have it fast tracked by their government. Madonna by some estimates is worth $600 million, and makes close to $43 million a year. Instead of using her vast wealth to improve the lives of the people of that village, let alone the whole country, she is going to spend it buying a child that she will use as a fashion accessory while patting herself on the back for "doing a good thing".

Am I the only one who finds this behavior disgusting?
