“Colonial Overlords”
I don’t usually go in for celebrity horseshit, but this story’s so perfectly po-mo that I am obligated:
Charity campaigners are calling for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to be banned from Namibia after the couple’s recent stay for the birth of their first child.
Namibia’s National Society for Human Rights (NSHR) branded the couple “colonial overlords” and accused them of taking over the African country when Shiloh Nouvel was born this month.
An NSHR spokesman said: “To shut down a national border so she can give birth in peace is a massive abuse of power.”
The human rights campaigners claim Angelina and Brad “used heavy-handed and brutal tactics” to persuade the Namibian government to agree to their demands.
Commentary would be superfluous.
