None of these people need the money and I would hate to be that kid and comparing your worth in baby pics. And really, it is a BABY - do we honestly care what it looks like at that stage?<BR/><BR/>Maybe if they were just incredibly boring in everyday life, like us, no one would care and leave them alone? Has anyone ever seen Jodie Foster's boys?VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18287683.post-60683390732905371172008-07-18T07:56:00.000-04:002008-07-18T07:56:00.000-04:00Hmmm.

I see I'm definitely in the minority here.<BR/><BR/>XUP, you make an interesting point about the whole adoption thing too. The last one Madonna (was it Madonna?) adopted for instance. The kid was obviously not even an orphan, since his (her?) father was in the picture at one point.<BR/><BR/>Though I don't imagine he got $11M for his kid...<BR/><BR/>But I digress.Jazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644896022880634803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18287683.post-48352577348686431322008-07-18T00:12:00.000-04:002008-07-18T00:12:00.000-04:00What's interesting is that the $11 million being p...What's interesting is that the $11 million being paid by the mag in question won't be recouped in sales or advertising. It's a clear-eyed choice to take a loss, just for the status of being the publication to cop these sought-after pictures. <BR/><BR/>In the case of celebs who donate the money, I can live with it. If it's all going to happen anyways, why not feed a bunch of kids or build a village with the proceeds?Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227519811818290510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18287683.post-61086152679708078412008-07-17T23:43:00.000-04:002008-07-17T23:43:00.000-04:00Dude, I'd sell a picture of my boy for $11.

I have not idea what it's like to be known globally, to be stalked everywhere I go, to have people wanting to know the intimate details of my life and my every goings on. I think the moral code is a bit different in that world, and there, maybe, selling photos of your babies for 11 mil and donating it to charity is a higher standard. But I DO know, that I have little interest in these things, though it's forced upon me whenever I try to get REAL news (yeah...Like who the Bachelorette picked!
