Being the fickle-minded, ADD-infected pop culture fans that you no doubt are, you’ll have probably forgotten that Madonna recently adopted a boy from Malawi so that he could enjoy a pony-riding life of drizzle-filled luxury in Great Britain.

Oh who are we kidding, of course you remember Madonna’s adoption of little David Banda from Malawi – at one point even serious news programmes were furiously trying to work out whether the boy would get a better life as an orphan in a poverty-stricken AIDS-ravaged country or as the son of an elderly millionaire who wears manky leotards a bit too much. But just because nobody has mentioned Madonna’s adoption of David Banda for just over a fortnight, it doesn’t mean that it’s all gone away. A consortium of 67 human rights groups are still trying to block Madonna from permanently adopting David Banda, and they’re waiting to find out if they can proceed with their case. And they will find out, just as soon as the sodding judge stops delaying his ruling.
