The price of celebrity childhood

"jon voight, your evil spawn angelina jolie, and her vacuous hubby brad pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a c**p about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more ...

That's Roseanne Barr's take on the recent activities of Hollywood's most famous and oddest couple. I tend to agree with her (at least on some of her ponits). By selling pictures of their twins, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have simply fed the market for such photos - and they now have no argument against the paparazzi who try to get a piece of the photographic action for free. This has made things worse for other celebrities who genuinely want to protect their children's privacy. The fact that the money from the sale went to humanitarian charities makes no difference. As Barr points out, Pitt and Jolie could easily have donated some of their own millions to good causes without turning their own kids into currency.
