God bless famous people. If it wasn’t for them appearing in disaster areas, we wouldn’t even hear about them. Did you know there was a massive flood in Pakistan? What? It happened ages ago? This must be a new one because Angelina Jolie is going over there to look upset in the face of victims. Upset and wealthy.
Of course, the events in Pakistan are so unrelentingly awful that, should Hecklerspray think about it seriously for even one-second, we’d probably create a flood of our own with our tears. See? We can’t even take being depressed seriously.
Anyway, the Hollywood superstar has gone to the north-west of the country to refugees whose camp was completely destroyed in three hours of flooding. Feel free to make your own jokes about her making off with babies while she’s out there. We can’t be bothered to word it properly.
Jolie, dressed down in what the Telegraph described as “a striking black and red embroidered cloak” said:
“From what I understand, the situation is on a scale we have not really seen. It’s on a huge scale. It’s not just the floods ? it’s three decades that the Pakistani people have hosted Afghan refugees. Their needs need to be addressed.”
“There are people displaced by the floods, all their homes washed away. Many of them lost their children during the floods.”
In fairness to Jolie, she’s put her money where her mouth is by kicking up a stink and donating $100,000 of her own money to the plight, which is nearly double what Pakistan’s president has given to the cause.
Of course, Jolie was there because she’s a goodwill ambassador for the UN.
Geri Halliwell used to do that job… and it’s still staggering to think about it as a prospect. We can imagine her in the face of people at rock bottom, flicking a peace sign and shouting ‘GIRL POWER!’ before planting a great big smacker on the face of a dignitary before breaking into Look At Me.
Anyway. This is all far too depressing for us to compute. All you need to know is that Angelina Jolie is a better human than all of the Hecklerspray writers combined.

Doesn’t Lara Croft find it a little ironic playing a muslim princess with all that stylish cloak and scarf for one known to like the breeze on her body so to speak? Oh well she is an actress and its a challenging part and the “I” men certainly won’t mind the irony straight from hollywood. Heck, the starlet might even picque some interest in peace so to speack when they all gather round to pray over Allah’s will. Isn’t Bollywood somewhere around there?
