Big Brother Africa is a BIG RIP OFF

Ok, the Malawian representative, Hazel Warren failed to get the $100,000 cash prize offered by Big Brother Africa. That's okay because failures happen to any one. The votes were not favoring her. She received a laptop, a digital camera and a cellphone. What the heck?
Price of laptop: $1,000
Price of camera: $150
Price of Cellphone: $100
Total $1,250
This is crazy because she only missed few votes and she goes home $98,000 less richer than she would.
3 months in a jail-like place for only 1,250 bucks? Screw BBA.
I would rather stay home and make that money instead of living under scrutiny for months with the whole world watching me and my privacy.

Madonna wants your Money (All currencies accepted, including Kwachas)

The following video of Madonna is according to me disgusting. WATCH


Madonna
the pop star wants to build a school for girls in Malawi. She is asking YOU to give some of your money for that cause. I cannot give any penny because I went to one of her concert few weeks ago and I paid about $100 (50 Pounds) with about other 60,000 people.

Why cant she take the money from the concert and build the school herself?
Oprah Winfrey did not ask any penny from people and she still built a school in South Africa.
We all have bills to pay at the end of the month, so if she wants to be adored, she should NOT ask money from us.
