In Your Face, Jolie


This is great - Charlize Theron was just named a UN Messenger of Peace, got a plaque and a ceremony and the whole bit. And what exactly did she do to achieve this? I have no idea. Can't remember seeing a single picture of her sobbing in front of a dirty, fly-covered orphan. Don't recall her comforting even one refugee in one shithole. Yet, she is a UN Messenger of Peace. See Angie? You don't need to try nearly so hard. Just give a bunch of money to the right people and be famous and look good in a picture holding your plaque. That's all the world expects of you. It will laud you for that. It will treat you like a hero. You barely even have to set down your apple bong.
