You're right, SJ. That's an awful lot of little kids to pay attention to. They'll grow up in the lap of luxury and have plenty of nannies, but when it comes down to it, all kids really want is their parents. They need plenty of one on one time. Things will get even more complex as the children get older.
Not saying they're bad parents, but some of this will eventually come back to bite them on the butt.

They're not only pathological about having kids, but apparently about having kids with any ethnic background aside from their own. Shiloh is the whitest white kid who ever whited and they just had to have her in Africa just to try and give her some foreign flavor, now they have to have these ones in France? Face it, Brad and Angelina, no matter how many kids you pop out or adopt, YOU TWO ARE CAUCASIAN AMERICANS. Get over it.
If they could settle down in one place for more than five minutes and maybe not be so obsessed with having kids to match every continent on the globe people wouldn't think they were collectors rather than parents.

Well, I think it was kind of overkill that they made that 'rainbow family' statement, but I think it's acceptable for 'caucasian americans' to adopt kids of other ethnicities and races..

How bout not adopt based on race or ethnicity at all? Deliberately choosing kids so you have one from each ethnic group is just as bad as if you insisted on adopting whites only, cause it's treating them like toys, not kids.
But that's not as bad as just deliberately looking for exotic locales to pop out your biological kids just so you can co-opt some other group's heritage. They had no connection to Namibia and imported their own health care just to pop that kid out there so they could pretend they're not rich white folks who had a privileged white kid. I think their worst nightmare would be to pop those kids out in L.A. or New York because then they couldn't claim them as "exotic."

I can see your point, then. I do think it's kind of weird that they selected a child from each major race group to adopt, as if it's like they're trying to prove a point or something.

Yeah, and they closed down a huge portion of the public beach for their own personal use and their bodyguard beat the absolute shit out of two female reporters. Way to love the locals. That whole time was an absolute mess. When it boils down to it, these two are just over-privileged jokes.

I dislike all of them. Brad is a pussy-whipped fool who makes himself over as a clone of his mate in every relationship he's ever been in, even physically. He wants to act like he's so interested in the environment now while they continue to fly their private jet all over the world. Angelina is an insincere publicity whore who talks out of both sides of her mouth, who only felt the need to "reinvent her image" after the whole cheating thing. I don't buy a word that comes out of her mouth. She is inarticulate and when actually asked hard questions, has no clue about whats going on in the world, besides "yeah, its a bad situation." Its pitifully embarrassing when I hear her talk about world affairs. Both of them were bastards when they first got together, before Brad was divorced. I wouldn't mind either of them if they weren't phony and just could keep their mouths shut. I actually liked Angelina back when she seemed real. As for Jen, I'm pretty ambivalent, she just bores me to tears...she suffers terribly from lack of charisma. I usually skip over anything that has to do with her because she holds zero interest for me. I do think its funny though because not alot of people really seemed to dislike her immensely until the whole Brangelina thing, which is stupid in my book if thats your only reason why.
And seriously, that JJ stuff was nothing compared to some of the stuff I've read, its so freaking scary. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were legitimate stalkers.

Your post pretty much sums up the way I feel about them. As for those fans at the JJ site, holy shit, if I were the one they were talking about I'd go into the Witness Protection Program and assume a new identity. They are truly insane to get that "involved"

I don't see them using a meat baster, they are just lucky or unlucky depending on how you feel about twins.

Here's how I feel about twins:
Other people having twins: Awww, congratulations! How thrilled you must be! That's so CUTE!
Me having twins: Oh god, you're kidding. Noooooooooooooooooo!

He's certainly not as good looking as Robert Redford was, although Bradley has never been unpleasing to the eye!  But ever since he hooked up with Jon Voight Jr, he's started aging really badly.
Angelina is aging him. He really should just engage what's left of his brain and get the hell out. Well, he should have before they had all those kids, I guess...guess he's stuck now!
