Today is a very sad day for me :->

The newborn Brad/Jolie baby (age 10 days) 'earned' USD $4 mill. I've worked for little more than 5 years and can't even see the $4 mil mark from where I'm currently standing :-D . http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Entertainment/story?id=2048001[^] But that said, kudos to the parents who made a wise choice by donating it. - Malhar
Technically, their baby didn't earn the money. The couple offered the rights for the photographs, but the $4.1 million that was paid is being donated to charity. However, I feel your pain...I'm 38 and I don't think I've come close to $4.1 million since I've been working. Brigg Thorp Senior Software Engineer Timex Corporation

I actually feel sorry for the baby because celebrity marriages have a low-life expectancy and the kid will also probably never appreciate hard work that comes when earning a living.

:^) Oh, come on, this always gets me. No the world is not sick, and it is not strange, it is how we want it to be. ~RaGE();

Seriously? You want the world to be a place where people pay outrageous sums of money to take pictures of a squalling, pooping, drooling baby just because it's the offspring of some here today, gone tomorrow actors that can't act?

Obviously lots of people do, otherwise they would not have paid the money for the pictures. And since I do not effectively act against abuse like this makes me want it as well as they do. ~RaGE();

Watch the people that earn more than you for less, and you will be unhappy. Watch the people that earn less than you for more work, and you will be content.

if ( celebrities == low-life ) { :laugh: } I should have said that all celebrity marriages have a half-life like many radioactive elements. If so, most are probably countable on your fingers in terms of months, heck, maybe even some cases, weeks :)

To illiterate slobs who happen to like to run, jump, or slam into things on a ball court or field. Don't look now, Marc, but I think we may already be stuck in such a bizzare, surrealistic world. Scary, isn't it?:~ "...a photo album is like Life, but flat and stuck to pages." - Shog9

Sadly yes.

I vacillate between fear, disgust, and laughter. Though I try to avoid fear, as it's pointless, and laughter is necessary to keep perspective, and disgust, well, I think a healthy dose of disgust for other people is a good thing!

Hmmm. Interesting logic there. So, by that logic, since I don't effectively act against neonazi skinheads that claim the Holocaust never happened, this makes me one? Or says I agree with the them?
