OMG, African orphans are so in this season!

The NGO I worked for in Tanzania is now advertising the plight of poor African orphans on a gossip website. Here is the link.

And here are my favorite parts:

1) That there was an ad for a porn site at the top the first time I clicked on it.

2) That after three flippant or negative comments about the fact that PerezHilton.com would promote a charity (instead of its usual activity of talking about Lindsay Lohan and epitomizing all that is shallow about American culture), an "anonymous" reader with the exact same initials as the person who runs the NGO leaves the first positive comment. Hmmm...

3) That the girl who left comment #14 gave herself the username Tulisa. She meant to write Tuliza, which is Swahili for "relax." But she misspelled it.

My friend Becky just told me a story about a girl she met the other day who has a similar story, her twist being that she got a tattoo on her foot that says "Walk with Love" in Swahili: Tembea na Upendo. Only, the tattoo artist misspelled it. Her foot says Kutembea na Pendo.

OMG, I wonder if Perez will write about that.
