Blood Diamonds, Warlords and Ignorant/Arrogant Super Models

Here's the article

Naomi Campbell accepted two diamonds from Charles Taylor who is accused of war crimes such as rape, enslavement among other atrocities in Sierra Leone during the 1990s - and he compares himself to Jesus. Such a catch for the likes of arrogant fools such as Campbell.  People in their 1000s were, and still are, being affected by the civil war - there are 100s of people without hands, 100s of adults who were forced into become violent rapists at 10 years old and are still recovering from their past, and dickheads like Naomi Campbell thinks it's acceptable to receive diamonds from this maniac who was fully instrumental in blood diamond mines.  Some people say models don't need brains so they're under-developed.  Maybe so, I just doubt it. 

I thought the film was very good - I recommend it to those unaware of the war, I think it's quite fair - but the journalist is a bit wet.

  1. What I don't really understand about Campbell is that she hero worships Nelson Mandella and yet had to be subpoenad to testify in court against Charles Taylor - which she described as an inconvenience - I think she is in desperate need of a coherant set of values ....

  2. Thanks ladies - nice to have comments on me blog!

    That woman, she's vomitous. Hero worshiping a mass murderer - all those lives ruined, and she's now clearly lying to a war crimes trial and barely getting cross examined. "Are you nervous?" what kind of question is that..?? Of what relevance are her nerves? I don't understand why her mad story wasn't questioned.
