Oct 26 2006Madonna still in controversy

Just a few days after claiming he didn't know Madonna would gain permanent custody of his child, Yohane Banda, the father of the 13-month-old Malawian boy Madonna wants to adopt, says he's scared Madonna will back out of the adoption because of all the negative press. He says:
"I am afraid Madonna may get angry and frustrated and decide to dump my son because of these people. These so-called human rights activists are harassing me every day, threatening me that I am not aware of what I am doing. I'm afraid David may be sent back and the orphanage may not even accept him back. So where will he end up? Here? He will certainly die."
And regarding his previous statements about not meaning to give Madonna permanent custody he says:
"I was telling these rights groups that I wasn't selling my son. I said I wouldn't ... sell my son for anything but I had agreed with Madonna before a judge so my comments were taken out of context and I hope Madonna is not angry."
I was hoping the first pictures of Madonna's new family would be of her and her two kids and in the background would be David chained to the radiator eating out of a dog bowl. But no, she's actually treating the adopted kid with dignity and respect. And now that she has the approval of the father it makes it imposisble to hate what she's done. Although the father is so completely confused about everything I think with enough coaxing we could get him to admit the kid isn't even his and then confess to staging the moon landing in his basement studio.

She still could have just given the man an opportunity to keep his family together and adopted a child that was truly orphaned. And she could have gotten her fucking roots touched up, too.

Maybe if she didn't involve the press in the first place...
NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU MADONNA!!!

I am glad to hear all is well with that, it has to be a very intense thing to go through. I feel bad for the dad... he must just be swamped with obnoxious American reporters as well with no money for his newly found fame.

And excuse me, but how in the hell is the media communicating with someone who lives in the bush of Africa? I didn't think they had spoken language much less phones and interview capabilities where little "David" is from. They don't even wear clothes there.

Oprah: (shrugs) Whatever.

Why doesn't this "dad" just stop giving statements, so now he's afraid the ORPHANAGE
won't take back HIS fucking kid.
what a fucking hero....clap...clap ...clap.
21. serial snarkalec - October 26, 2006 12:37 PM
Nothing like pimping your children to keep the publicity wheel grinding. After a tit-alating nudie book, endless inventions of yourself and self cruxifiction, what's next? Getting your kids to have group sex together?
BTW, does anyone have a BROOM? There seems to be a little too much Dirt in here.

This "family" picture is remniscient of the old Banana Republic adds... just missing a slant.
27. Oprah - October 26, 2006 12:43 PM
10 years ago i would have bitch slapped that talentless cracker, but you get older, you see stuff, and hey, let's be honest, at least half the black dads are worthless niggers. give him his kid back? just to bounce back to the orphanage? how about free sterilization instead? for all of 'em? now that's a real solution to the problem. a final solution.
28. biatcho - October 26, 2006 12:44 PM
that's what wine will do to you... I meant "ad" and I'm pretty sure I didn't spell that word that means "reminds me of" right. or maybe I did. or perhaps i'm lit.
29. Italian Stallion - October 26, 2006 12:47 PM
In the picture they're all fighting over the last Sunny Delight, except little David, he's content with the grape drink he's eyeing up...........

Is it me or it looks like Madonna & Lourdes want to make out ?
31. PrettyBaby - October 26, 2006 12:58 PM
They look defensive and edgy, not happy or content. Very strange, even little Rocco has that chip-on-his-shoulder look. What did she do to those kids? Sheesh, does she let them eat Poptarts and watch Pokemon or is all Kabbalah- approved snacks and Madonna movies? An odd clan.

38. RichPort - October 26, 2006 1:11 PM
I wonder if they built a thatched straw hut in the back yard with some hay flooring, just to make the little fucker feel at home. Maybe they'll airdrop food into her backyard with boxes marked UN Hunger Relief. They might wanna walk around with some machine guns and click alot, or the kid might realized he's been kidnapped, er, um , I mean 'adopted'...
39. mulva - October 26, 2006 1:14 PM
Angelina just flew her plane over an Nambian village, lowered a net, scooped up all the children, and legally adopted them while still in flight. so she wins
40. jrzmommy - October 26, 2006 1:16 PM
Mia Farrow has issued the following statement: "If ya wanna impress me, adopt a brown one with no legs!!! Or one that'll fuck your husband when you're not looking! There! You want adoption! I got your fucking adoption!!!"
41. gatorbates - October 26, 2006 1:19 PM
I think she must be acting.
Or else she didn't take her medication today.
42. SonJaSpiCe - October 26, 2006 1:20 PM
David is probably one of the cutest babies I have ever seen. Lourdes looks so much like her mother it's uncanny and the other one, the boy, whatshisface, looks like he'll grow up to be one little hellraiser. It's a nice family photo... but where is Mr. Ritchie?
43. mlk - October 26, 2006 1:21 PM
when he gets older, the kid will realize his rights were violated. and then he'll demand to go back to his dirt poor country, get his rat-infested bed back at the orphanage, and arrange for regular visits from his mentally challenged father. or, he'll look at a few pictures of his native land and his father wearing his characteristic "duh...doy?" expression, wipe his forehead and say "PHEW!"
44. sophiecatrupertjerk - October 26, 2006 1:24 PM
NO MORE WIRE HANGARS!!! (that's what it sounds like at Madonna's house).
Oprah is a blowhard!
Let's get those people in Africa sterilized. I bet Madonna's money would be put to much better use to have them sterilized than to build another orphanage.
45. BarbadoSlim - October 26, 2006 1:27 PM
Oh Oprah that post was intense down to your final reference to complete genocide, I think a a Seig Heil is in order.

53. cole007 - October 26, 2006 2:16 PM
I STILL HATE THE FACT THAT SHE RUINED GUY RITCHIE'S CHANCE AT HAVING A CAREER - AND ALSO THAT SUCH AN OLD UGLY MICHIGAN CATHOLIC NUDIE DANCER WITH NO VOCAL TALENT ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO SUCKER A YOUNGER, CUTER, TRUE-BLOND BRIT WHO USED TO HAVE A PERSONALITY AND HIS OWN TALENT.
WHY, GOD.... WHY?

Please rest assured that #27 is not the same Oprah that you watch on TV.
Probably not, anyway.

@49 justme - A white supremist piece of shit posted "once" a while back on a "black" thread and left his calling card.
I feel you should go there and comment on his site... and stay there! (If it's busy, keep trying)
http://tnbalerts.blogspot.com/
Angry Ferret chased (TNB) off and he hasn't been back since. There's a line between joking about blacks and meaning what you say, and you mean what you say.
P.S. Fish people, I may post this comment on a couple of threads until that garbage gets the hint and leaves.

59. sayll - October 26, 2006 3:24 PM
I fail to see how dumping her new accessory, oops I mean kid, on a plane with a nanny and immediately pimping photos of the kid is really treating him with dignity and respect. Those photos were probably taken during the 10 minutes each day that the nanny gets to leave the kids and go to the bathroom, leaving Madonna legally required to acknowledge their existence.
60. LoneWolf - October 26, 2006 3:39 PM
@ #26 - I think you mean United Colors of Benetton, which was my first imprression as well.
This picture (and this entire sad affair) is self-serving, attention-whoring, button-pushing, too-much-information, bullshit from a washed up used-to-be has-been who is clutching at straws to be relevant.
In other words, classic Madonna.
61. laikiska - October 26, 2006 4:10 PM
One good thing has come out of this whole debacle: Malawi is now officially on the world map - cos quite honestly - who here had heard about Malawi before? and who maybe heard the name before but had NO clue where in Africa it is? Maybe the plight of its people will now become more of a focus...
62. Foxbase Alpha - October 26, 2006 6:27 PM

63. Betty Nuggs - October 26, 2006 6:40 PM
Madonna's daughter, Lourdes?, is an unattractive version of a younger Madonna. I guess she had to adopt this time so she could pick one that was cute because if she had another one that included her genes it may have looked like her.
64. J&M - October 26, 2006 8:29 PM
If I had the choice I would rather grow up in America with Madonna than Malawi without her. Madonna is a star and at least she is making an effort to make the world a better place.
65. J&M - October 26, 2006 8:34 PM

68. magickal - October 27, 2006 5:16 AM
Oh my god! David Banda is black!
Off topic, but, why does Rocco always look like the really poor trailer park kid with the worst "home job" buzz cut? Can't they afford a real barber for him? Ick. Lourdes is pretty, but is way to young to be the pretentious mini-Madge she clearly is. I'm sure she believe every time she takes a dump, rose petals appear on the tp rather than a brown smudge. Woops! I said brown smudge! Oh yeah that's right - back to David.....

Lourdes and Rocco are trying to restrain David because he wants to bolt. And Rocco looks like a freak because his parents are Madonna & Guy Ritchie & because his ears are growing out of his neck.
All 4 of them are wondering:
"Where's DAD-EEE?"
