Malawi court rules in favor of Madonna
Malawi's Supreme Court ruled today that Madonna can adopt 4-year-old Mercy James, even though she doesn't meet the country's strict residency rules. The decision overturns a lower court ruling in April. The U.S. Supreme Court was unavailable to comment on the decision because they're too busy working on stuff that is actually important.

Malawi's Supreme Court ruled today that Madonna can adopt 4-year-old Mercy James, even though she doesn't meet the country's strict residency rules. The decision overturns a lower court ruling in April. The U.S. Supreme Court was unavailable to comment on the decision because they're too busy working on stuff that is actually important. From Reuters:
Mercy's father said Madonna, one of the music industry's most successful singers, should not be allowed to adopt Mercy.Wait a minute, how in the fuck is this legal? I know I make a lot of jokes about Madonna stealing kids, but it really does sound like she's stealing this kid. Mercy still has a parent who cares deeply about her and wants to raise her in a responsible manner. She's not Lindsay Lohan.
"No one wants to listen to me, I have protested this all along ... I want my child back but I don't know what to do now," James Kabewa told Reuters by telephone from his poor township. "Madonna cannot take her away."
There is little he can do. The Supreme Court ruling cannot be challenged. Kabewa said he quit his job as a security guard to fight the adoption and was being supported by his aunt.
According to tradition in southern Malawi, where Kabewa lives, a grandmother has more say in a child's future than the father. When Mercy's mother died Kabewa was powerless to stop his daughter being sent to an orphanage when she was 3-days-old.
holy shit. i can't believe she's doing this...oh wait, yes I can. very sad.
HOLY CRAP!!! This is child theft plain and simple. More people must hear of this and spread the word. Now rich people can steal children against the wishes of the parent and get away with it??? This is absolute madness! The world just completely stopped making sense. I am pissed off. Karma's a bitch madonna and you just bought a mega shitload of BAD karma. Shame.
I can't believe they're letting this mental patient purchase another child. I feel so sorry for these kids.
Exactly, everyone. You all hit the nail on the head. This is a PURCHASE; a human fashion accessory by a narcissistic bitch.
I sincerely wish her dead. The world -- and her KIDS -- would be waaaaaaaaaay better off w/out her. She contributes absolutely NOTHING positive to the world and only further HARMS it being alive. :-(
Well said. At least at the end of the fairy tale the children held prisoner in the evil witch's candy covered house push her into the oven and burn her alive. After that they go home to thier loving father and live happily ever after,,, unlike the burned up turbo bitch in the oven. FREE MERCY!!!!
Talentless skank!!!
