40 something odd others to go...
They call it the "brangelina" effect - LOL these tabloid media folk...is there someone just paid to sit and think of catchy possible celibrity name combinations? This one has gone too far..
Namibia are shamelessly positioning themselves to cash in on this effect - and why not - would the world take notice any other time?
But hey whatever it takes to get the rest of the world to notice Africa.. All we need in Kenya now is for Bono to slice Tony Parker and hitch up with Eva Longoria and do the whole Malindi/Lamu thing.
I just find it fascinating how the mindless casual need to find out what a hollywood star had for breakfast can dramatically improve the quality of life for an impoversihed nation continents away. Globalization at its best?

lol at Tony parker and Longoria getting hitched...
there is a rumour (appears unsubstantiated at this point but Angelina Jolie is supposed buying herself her own african county. via meskelsquare:
check this)
There is huge stink of self-important-ness...oh well she's got the money and press really cant resist [the lips] o.k i will stop :)
lol...ati a FAIR TRADE paradise? wa..me I want. where do i sign? lakini as ludicrous as this may sound..I tink Jolie has gotten an unfairly bad wrap for her humaniterian acts - is it just coz she's a star, or a sex symbol, or is it just too hard for the regular joe to think of her as altruistic after seeing tomb raider. agents of change come in many different lip sizes...
This is exactly why Tony parker alone wont do any good - the celeb has to carry along some mysterious obsessive quaility that will drive the final gredient, the papparazi and thier cameras, in droves to the final destination.
I wonder..Has anyone bought Kenya yet? Afro you want to split it?
I don't evenm believe you guys can be joking about this... I mean seriously how bout you try buying a piece of America... this is completely dehumanising and a scoff at african independence c'mon...
After my brawl... I know you all are just playing but this is not even funny to me
"agents of change come in many different lip sizes..." oh that is brilliant! LOL! Yeah, lets split kenya!
Good point about the bad rap, thing is she does do good things, and for that, i am sure she finds fulfillment in it...so its all good. As for us regular janes and joes - well for this regular jane..buying ethiopia? cowi- you point it out very well, i agree with you. pole cowi - just pointing out just how ridiculous it is, i couldnt help but it just lends itself to comedy. I blame Stephen Colbert.
Which star has enough of that 'mysterious obsessive quality' to take kenya? (Haki i cant resist this...humour me for a sec cowi...)
1. Oprah?
2. I like Bono, i wouldnt have a problem with him buying Kenya (the free trade one in the desert lol!)at all. As long he performs vertigo for free at Kasarani or some such, oh and if he gives me his shades.
o.k. i really should stop now.
@afrom I think we could really get along you know. I like you!
@afrom - lol yeah yeah blame colbert...next thing you know colbert is responsible for you turning republican when you do....
Oprah is sooo not a bad idea - tena a lesbian thing with eva would just add to the scintialting mystery of it all sio!!! (ok maybe it is I who should stop)
@Cowi - not sure if you read the article, but they are just islands up for sale - if I could afford America, I'd be the first to buy it,and then subsequently turn ALL of it into Vegas. But since i can't, i'll focus on nunuaing Rusinga island if its avaliable...
