Namibians call for Brad Bitt and Angelina Jolie Baby National Holiday

[KristiB]

LANGSTRAND, Namibia (Reuters) - Half of Namibians voting in an informal radio survey believe the day Angelina Jolie gives birth should be declared a national holiday, an honor usually reserved for kings, queens and national heroes.

"We have a tie, it's 50-50," the DJ for popular local radio station Radio Wave announced on Tuesday after listeners were asked whether the "Brangelina" baby should be accorded the honor. She said voting was still going on.

Hollywood stars Jolie and Brad Pitt sparked an international media frenzy when they arrived in Namibia with her two adopted children to have their first child.

But while residents of the southern African country have so far been unfazed by the visit, local media is now getting into the act, with the daily Namib Times speculating that the baby might arrive at the weekend or early next week.

The couple have remained almost invisible in their beach resort in the tiny village of Langstrand on the country's desert coastline, shielded by tight security.

[CherryDarling]

[Voodoo Child]

You have to be kidding me right?

[strikeapose]

[ediebrooks]

Dumb.

[Sojiita]

Unfucking believable!

[UndercoverGator]

Yeah, but it's Africa. It's not like they have a lot going on. THis is somethign pretty big for them..shrugs.

A bushman once offered the pastor some goats in exhange for me in Africa. My magical long hair was apparently valued there. Angelina has long straight hair like I had at the time, Africans in the bush worship that type of dumb crap.

[Grimmlok]

I call for all Namibians to be slapped upside the head.

Yes but how many goats would you pay for that priviledge?

[lalala]

It's just a phone-in organised by a dumb DJ - It's a bit racist for all the press agencies to relay it as if it was some serious decision

I don't remember. All I remember is being shocked that someone would try to trade livestock for me just because I had hair long enough to sit on at the time. By the end of the trip every female in the group had had a goat and/or chicken offer for made to the pastor. He could have been livestock rich!

I'd be for it too, if it meant a day off from work.
