More Irony from Live Earth

Now we find out Madonna, who sang at the London Live Earth, is being criticized for owning stocks in companies which are labeled as unfriendly to the enviroment.
The companies included Alcoa, Ford Motor Company, Weyerhaeuser and Northrup-Grumman.

Why should anyone be suprised. It's the same with every liberal celebrity, "do as I say not as I do". They don't understand why average people don't like having their taxes raised to pay for another government program. They don't understand because they are too shut out from the real world, they make millions of dollars and rarely have to worry about paying bills, only when they spend their money like total morons(Mike Tyson) does that became an issue.

Celebrities figure it's probably better to have millions of people stop commuting than have themselves live slightly more modestly. To them the day-to-day real world is Global Warming(or whatever the current "Hot" issue is) and paychecks. They don't realize that the majority of people don't concern themselves daily with global warming, but are more concerned about providing for their families and surviving. If global warming could be 100% proven real i'm sure everyone would be concerned and want to correct the problem, however the problem couldn't be fixed if the entire planet were starving from lack of production. What would be the point of saving the planet for future generations if they led meek abysmal lives. I doubt Madonna or anyone, no matter how rich or how poor wants their children and grandchildren living in huts and forraging for food.

Have you ever seen a celebrity not willing to support/promote something that seems like a good cause? Even if something is completely disproven celebs will attach their names to it if it gives them an oppurtunity to sell something.

As for Madonna and her investing, I actually don't care. I don't care whose stock she owns, it's her money she can do with it as she pleases. The hypocrisy is what annoys me. If you really beleived in something you wouldn't tarnish it by being hypocritical would you? The fact that you're going to perform at a concert for global warming and still invest in companies that people see as obstacles to the cause is plain ignorance.(For another excellent example go read about Michael Moore).

However in defense of these types people, I must admit that I think things should be done for foster children and inner city kids and a million other causes. And if I were wealthy I probably wouldn't want to part with all my money either, that is unless I felt I had enough saved that my family would still be well taken care of long after i'm gone, so maybe somewhere north of $50 Million. Problem is most of these celebrities have way more money than they'll ever need and continue to make more and more and still think it's easier for 10,000 people to give $100 than for themselves to give $1 million
