Madonna Teaches Good Hygiene To Africa
MADONNA has a message for the kids of the Home of Hope orphanage and African Baby Shoppe, Malawi.
Madonna wants to the kids to know that they should retain the hope – one day she may need more children and they should be ready to look photogenic at all times. The other thing Madonna wants to teach you is that good hand hygiene can never be ignored.
When handling orphans in Africa always sport a pair of elbow-length leather gloves, or /and a vial of hand sanitiser. And you kids, when meeting a mega-rich American witha hotline to God, remember to wash your hands.
Madge is at her school, the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls in the capital, Lilongwe. Madonna’s school will “empower girls to become Malawi’s future leaders“.
Her African leaders will one day go head-to-head with Oprah Winfrey’s African leaders, as full-frontal ambition takes on weepy patronising empowerment.
To the winner Africa.
Now wash your hands.

I’d hardly call chartering a private jet and being chauffered around with an entourage and the press in tow (in heels, as I recall one picture depicts) venturing out of her multimillion dollar lifestyle. The whole issue of Africa and global poverty on a larger scale is being hijacked by celebrities like this muppet, exploiting what little public interest there is and distracting from the thousands of people who have really gone out of their way to do good work, not to mention glossing over the economic and social reasons which are predominately the result of policies of Western governments. The fact she cleaned her hands afterwards doesn’t even figure in the debate.
Basically mate, you’ve surmised that she touched some Africans and I’m a sod. Those are the only two things we were certain of to begin with. Way to cogently debate the issue, good work. xx

What a sanctimonious, pseudo-spiritual, empty vessel of a human being she is. If she really wants to help the children of Malawi and their nation, she should write a will leaving all of her estate and the rights to her music to NGOs and developmental bodies in the country, then kill herself. Harsh maybe, but at least other self deifying celebrities like Bono jumped on the bandwagon a bit earlier in the day, and in a more convincing manner. Either that, or she could just stop giving 10% of her earnings to the faux-esoteric hollywood life coaches at kaballah, and give it to the needy instead. The worst part of it is that it gives a veneer of philanthropism to the celebrity culture we seem to have bought into, justifying the self-gratifying, insular, individualistic tendencies that, ultimately, have allowed Africa to remain in its exploited and neglected state. I feel so justified in my consumer, ego-orientated culture knowing that for every several million children we let die, one gets bought by Madonna. I’m off down the shop to buy the Sun and a copy of heat.
…she should join McGregor and Boorman, and Harry and Wills on one of those “fundraising expeditions” that spend several multiples more on the celebrities getting a good holiday that they can feel good about than they do for the good causes these trips are, allegedly, in aid of.
