The good people of Myanmar have been through plenty of strife over recent years, but help is on the way.

How so? Humanitarian aid? International sanctions against its military junta? A UN investigation into alleged human rights violations? Oh, don’t be daft – we mean that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are probably going to adopt a baby from Myanmar instead.

And while that might seem a little halfhearted, it really isn’t – once Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have adopted their little Burmese baby, all of Myanmar will be united. Shared resentment of sanctimonious moviestars, that’s what really heals a country.

She’s experimented a little in the past, with babies from Africa and the inside of her own guts, but Angelina Jolie’s heart will always be in South East Asia. She’s already adopted Maddox from Cambodia, Pax Thien from Vietnam and now it looks like Angelina’s gunning for Arbitrary Collection Of Consonants (name unconfirmed) from Myanmar, too.

Perhaps because Myanmar has come in for a ridiculous amount of trouble of late, in the form of cyclones and famine and oppressively violent juntas – or perhaps because she’s just trying to top Jennifer Aniston, who was recently quite nice to a dog – Angelina Jolie looks set to adopt a child from Myanmar as soon as she can.

Angelina has already visited the area and now, as the News Of The World reports, she’s vaguely hinted that the next time she returns, it’ll be with her child-catching net:

Clan BRANGELINA is set to swell yet again with ANGELINA JOLIE setting her sights on adopting a baby from troubled Myanmar— that’s Burma to you and me. The Tomb Raider star visited the region before the BAFTAs. Asked if she wanted more kids, Ange last night said: “Yes, of course. Both adopted, and our own. I can see further additions to the family.”

Now we’ve looked at this from all angles and have come to the conclusion that Angelina Jolie adopting a baby from Myanmar is a resoundingly great idea. Obviously just by the fact that she does it, Angelina Jolie will be highlighting the region’s problems to an audience that perhaps doesn’t know much about it, plus the millions of dollars that she’ll inevitably receive from the baby’s first magazine photoshoot is bound to go to a deserving charity.

What’s more, when Angelina Jolie adopts a new baby she always gives it a ridiculous new name, which will help the clueless pikeys of the world to name their own babies.

Plus, and this is the best news of all, Angelina Jolie is committed to raising her adopted children in a way that constantly reminds them of their origins, and that’s bound to help the cottage industry of expat Burmese Buddhist monks who get paid to be violently beaten by the infant children of American millionaires. Angelina Jolie should be applauded for that.
