Hate is a strong word, so let’s not employ it here. Let’s say I strongly dislike this celebrity couple, despite all their humanitarian activities, and my interest was piqued to see this news story criticising their oh-so-laudable choice to give birth in Namibia:
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have been labelled “colonial overlords” for the treatment they received in Namibia in the weeks leading up to the birth of their daughter last month.
Namibia’s National Society For Human Rights accuses the superstar couple of “using heavy-handed and brutal tactics” to get the African country’s government to aid their desire for total privacy.
A NSHR spokesman says, “To shut down a national border so she can give birth in peace is a massive abuse of power.”
You think? Jolie and Pitt closed down a national border so they could avoid paparazzi. This is, as the human rights org says, presumably one that Jolie has worked with during her multiple trips to the country, a massive abuse of power, in part because their refusal of her entry and stay could have hedged on their continuing to receive massive amounts of money from outside donors.
Incidentally, Namibia has a high infant mortality rate and the UNDP’s 2005 Human Development Report indicated that 34.9% of the population live on $1 per day and 55.8% live on $2 per day. So kind of the Jolie-Pitt family to arrange government time and money to give birth to a baby that could have had equally private care and treatment in a country that isn’t so strapped for resources.
The new parents, along with kids Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 1, have been staying at the luxury resort in Namibia since April, where their personal security team and Namibian police have shielded them from paparazzi.
Last week, the Namibian government said foreign journalists wishing to cover the birth must have written permission from Pitt and Jolie to enter the country and obtain a work permit.
And so kind of them to use their brand-new daughter as a donation-seeking, money-making device. That just screams mindful parenthood.
Now don’t get me wrong, I can appreciate that someone so goth as to wear her ex-husband’s blood in a vial around her neck can wake up and realize that the world doesn’t revolve around her personal drama and teen angst. Jolie has done a lot of work and spent a lot of time giving money and raising awareness for human rights travesties around the world. I only wish that more celebrities would follow her example. Except for abusing her power in the third world by shutting down relatively powerless countries for her convenience of giving birth.
H/T: Avast, Feminist Conspiracy!

And just for extra measure, a friend of a friend wrote me when she heard I was irritated about this story with a story of her own:
If it makes you feel any better my nephew worked on the set of oceans 12 and he said brad pitt is a HUGE DICK. like everyone else on the set was having fun, hanging out and pitt ran to his trailer between shots and didn’t socialize because he was too busy fucking jolie, since that was the only time he could work it in since he was hiding the affair from his wife. he made them all complicit in it.
Interesting considering our favorite bee-stung lipped actress and her sherpa boyfriend deny an affair ever occurred. But hey, who am I to question a modern activist imperialist?
Is this the Best Thread Evah?…
People still care? I thought Britney was enough of a distraction.
To ‘Hate them in California’
You have got to be friggin kidding me! A huge fraud and a liar…You do not know her…just because you were locked up with her doesn’t mean you know AJ any more than I know you! So if you were locked up with her and according to your own words – you were in there for being either suicidal, homicidal or gravely disabled…either way I am sure that you do not have some wacko holding your past troubles against you!
She adopts from other countries because they won’t hand kids over to people who have been in mental wards? are you serious…do you ever read a magazine or watch a news show? How many foster homes are filled with kids where the foster parents have been arrested or institutionalized in some way at some point in their life…you are an idiot…Of course she pays for the right to adopt those kids…duh…that is how it works…but the bottom line is that those kids will have a far better life….
Who cares why she was in there? and who cares why you were in there…everybody needs some help once in a while and you are proof of that…nobody has the right to judge her…should not have kids anywhere near her? you don’t know anything about her except what you read on blogs like this. I am sure that your anger with her has something to do with her not wanting anything to do with you while you were both locked up…
I don’t know anything about AJ except what I see…and regardless of her personnal issues – she does do good for a lot of people…to all you haters…you cannot judge her or Brad and you would NOT STAND for them judging you! You are jealous and the wacked one here…I am sure you have enough problems to worry about besides this crap…respect them for thier body of work and realize that you don’t really know jack about thier personnal lives – even if you were locked up with one of them!
F em Brad and Angie…oh wait they don’t give a flying crap what you think anyway!
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY DO
HATE ANGELINA SO MUCH, WHAT
HAS SHE DONE TO YOU HATE
MONGERS LEAVE THE WOMAN
AND HER FAMILY ALONE.
I ♥ this thread soooo much.
See, this thread is so much better when people put some effort into their comments. Thank you, John 3. You are an example to us all.
To “john 3″
Are you high? Get a life! If you are so in love with AJ and BP, why do you spend your time surfing hate sites, anyways? But that is irrelevant. I guess you do not know the meaning of the word “homicidal.” It means that she was trying to KILL somebody. Would YOU want such a person around YOUR children??? As for your little accusation of me being “locked up” for being “homicidal, suicidal or gravely disabled”, let me give you a little lesson on California law, my ignorant friend. When it comes to psych hospitals here you can go in voluntarily, if you feel you need help, or if someone is suicidal, homocidal, etc., and will not sign in voluntarily, they can be put on an involuntary hold, which can least 72 hours, 14 days, or 30 days. I was in the hospital voluntarily. I was depressed, and I saught help. “AJ” as you so affectionately call her, was on a 72-hour involuntary hold. And yes, I agree with you that everyone needs help sometimes and should not have it held against them, but she was HOMICIDAL. Wanting to kill her husband. That is in a totally different category than say, depression, alcoholism, etc. I am not a wacko or an idiot… that is you, my dear. I am not the one who spends my days surfing celebrity websites defending people I lust after pathetically but have never met and never will meet. You defend her honor with such zeal one would think I had insulted your mother… get a life.
“Who cares why she was in there?”‘
I’ll say it again… because she wanted to KILL people. Kill. If you want homicidal maniacs running around…with CHILDREN in their care, especially, then I would have to say that you’re the wacko, honey. My “anger” has something to do with her not wanting to have anything to do with me while we were in there?hee hee, you’re such a child. Actually I didn’t give a shit about her and didn’t want to have anything to do with her. I’ve never been a fan, and I had my own recovery to focus on.
Well, I’ve wasted enough time on this.Jealous, hah hah ha. You’re an idiot. Insult me back all you like, I really don’t give a f*ck. Oh yeah, and other than “Fight Club” and maybe a couple of BP’s other movies, their “body of work” is pretty much crap.
Have a nice day!
why do you spend your time surfing hate sites, anyways?
Hey! This isn’t actually a hate site you know. It’s a long ago post concerning a specific objectionable action, on a blog which is mostly unrelated to celebrities.
McBoing’s thread is dead. Long live McBoing’s thread!
So, I just read the whole thing. Will this comment section make it to its second birthday? We can only hope.
This thread can’t die…not while people like myself still have blood flowing in their veins.
I hate Angelina Jolie for being such a manipulative whore. She manipukates everyone and everything around her.
Why does she always have to take movie roles where she plays the ‘tough’ chick? Its sooo high school sooo annoying. Like, we get it-you think you’re a badass. Even though your lips look like suction cups that make people want to stick you on a window (I stole that from a comedian).
I think Angelina has major double standards. She goes on about peace in the World and how everyone should get along & we’d have no wars but she can’t even forgive or speak to her own father for God knows whatever it is he’s supposed to have done. What a hypocritical dick.
That whole drinking the blood of a lover thing is so incredibly emotionally and mentally immature not too mention potentially deadly . I know people who do that, or claim they do that…and they think it makes them “hardcore” or makes them look like some true blue goth or…whatever the hell they are trying to do…who know and who cares? It dosen’t make anyone “hardcore’ or “goth” or a freak or weird or shocking. It is just pathetic, insolent and ridiculous. Which would explain why someone like Jolie did it, or said she did it.
She was a good match in several movies, I admit. She was the lead role in one of my favorite films “Gia” and did a great job as Lisa in “Girl, Interupted.’ However, just because you play so called bad girls, dosen’t mean you have to put up this silly facade that you are one. And like I said, drinking human blood, getting obnoxious tattoos and talking about allll the drugs and allll the same sex releshionships and blah blah blah you have been into…is dull. Twenty years ago it may have been something, now EVERYONE claims that crap. So what?
And what is this role model stuff? If you think a person like Jolie is a role model for your kids…you need a serious reality check there my friends. You are raising your kids to be spoiled, adult brats with an petty need to constantly shock everyone.
I just love how the Bradgelina’s fan love to say “YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS!” why would anyone in their right mind be jealous of some cold hearted, selfish, self centered slut who steals husband? .. (after saying she does not sleep with a married man because of what her dad did to her mom. Hypocrite!) She only had Shiloh to trap Brad into the relationship and adopt foreign children for publicity! Charity starts at home. Whats wrong with all the homeless children in the US?? Why not adopt them first? Not enough publicity? There are soooo many people doing real humanitary work that did not get the recognition they deserve while Bradgelina “visit” these third world countries, stayed at their five stars hotel, eat their gourmet food, carried around purses that cost thousands of dollars. Even a blind man can see through them. What a joke. And YES, I have donated my time to REAL humanity work last year and durring the Tsunami (slept in a shed surrounded by feces and flies.) pfft! And not to mention Joli is a HORRIBLE actress..
I love that this thread is still going. It’s amazing, Marc will post a thread about an illegal war in Iraq that’s killing thousands of American troops, Sabotty will post a thread about third world hunger, genocide and suffering, but Angelina Jolie still gets the most attention. We have a president that has politicized the justice system, destroyed our economy, obliterated a country that never attacked us, and was no threat, let the people who caused 9/11 get off scott free, approved torture and the abandonment of the Geneva Convention, enriched private defense contractors that love to play target practice on innocent Iraqi civilians, botched a British investigation into actual terrorists for political advantage, and pissed off all our allies. Yes, I see why Angelina Jolie is so fucking important.
It just pisses me off that there are PLENTY of kids in need of home here in the USA. She did not NEED to go to another country to find a kid. THAT TELLS ME it was all publicity crap to get attention, not to actually help those kids. Plus, just ask Diane Keaton when her good deed turned around and screwed Woody (uck). What is wrong with these ignorant people? I can’t stand a husband stealing biatch, and this one is no different. Heck, looks like all any guy needs to do is make a movie with her and she wants to marry him! Look out Brad, don’t let her go to work! Are men so stupid that they don’t know if a woman can be stolen BY him she can be stolen FROM him?? Dumb ass.
I LOVE Brad and Angelina! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate them, yet cannot get enough of them. Repulsed, yet attracted.
I despise the Brangelina entity. I can not for the life of me see the charm here. Two people who certainly did not “act” their way to the top. In fact-that word should not even apply to them.
Jolie has made few movies worth mentioning, and Pitt made one in which he did have to do more than..well..you know what talentless, pretty people do in Hollywood.
So far-they are best known by the masses for adultery, adoption, and her tattoos. Come on..Are we so desperate for entertainment that we have to consider those things newsworthy?
If I did not have to see their faces every time I turn on my computer-or hey-even if they had individual names-maybe it would not be so distasteful…
Critics of the honest Brangelina haters like to say-your jealous…in this case that would be incorrect. Somehow-if I ever pretended to be an actor-I feel that I would rather be recognized for that part of my life-rather than the fact that I am in a position to funnel tons of money into other countries while ignoring the needs that I could be influencing in my own native land. O’yes-if I cheated on my spouse-I would rather that little tidbit was kept out of the headlines too.
Now-I am teribly jealous of Sandra Bullock’s beauty, Meryl Streep’s talent, and Pierce Brosnan’s wife, but in this case-no envy here. also I have more kids than they do-so thet does not impress me either.
Another thing folks often laud about this couple is their generosity. That might be worth mentioning-but truly-they are very likely the most highly paid prostitutes in La-La land so their generosity-in my opinion-is just tax shelters for the cheating, tattooed, rich and famous…
Call it what you will-I will call it publicity hungry prostitutes who have no qualms at all about the humiliation they have caused-their inability to act, and in the end-how hard is it to adopt fifty or sixty kids if the nanny will be caring for them any way?
This is like the Thread of the Living Dead. Anybody wanna close it?
i fucking hate angelina jolie… she’s such a dark person wannabe!!! first of all she grew up in the lap of luxury with everything at her beck and call so what the fuck does she have to be disturbed about!??? Brad Pitt has been playing the same character since Thelma and Louise!!! He’s nothing but a no talent beauty right up there with your Jessica Alba’s and Chris Evans!!! These people can suck my dick!! I’m so glad they’ve been leaving empty handed at every award show so far!!!
Every time someone resurrects it, you have to drink a shot! It’s the world’s slowest drinking game.
On an almost relevant note: I saw the first few minutes of Tomb Raider at the weekend. Ye gods what an awful film.
I’m not sure about brad pitt but i HATE HATE HATE Angelina.To me she looks like a thin sick frog!
my to i hate this two since the red carpet on the golden globes they think that they are the last glass of whater of the desert my god!
I can notbelieve they pass ryan secret on the red carpet on the golden globes 2009, tyhey are soooo ruuuuuuudeeeeeeee rude!
thank good jennifer leaves this idiot who he think that is good? my god and she crzy bitch I us to see his movies, because she usto be an excelent actor but now, she is so rude and she us to be friendly
they deserve one to the other she is a crazi bith and he is gay so they are perfect !
I can’t stand that fake-ass Angelina Jolly Armpitts. She is as retarded as JackGoff. She keeps saying how happy she is with Brad and all the kids but what’s going to happen when she starts to film the next movie with a more interesting married costar? My heart goes out to Jen and everybody else whose been rundown by this selfish bitch. Some humanitarian she is. She seems to be the type of asshole that sees something and wants it and doesn’t give a shit about the consequences. If she wasn’t pretty everyone would have been appalled at such behavior. She should be thanking God that she is pretty cause that’s all she’s got going for her. That and being the kid of a movie star. If her father wasn’t who he is, she’d probably be a street walker right now. And another thing, many other celebrities do random acts of kindness as they should seeing as they’ve got more money than they’ll ever need, but she makes sure that everyone knows about it. She is a very calculated, immature idiot that was probably jealous of Jennifer Aniston being so well liked. I believe more people are starting to see her for who she really is and not the image she would have us believe.
I think we’ve established where people post if they find YouTube comment threads too intimidatingly intellectual.
If my fellow PunkAssers don’t get back to me by the weekend, I’m closing this thread down without ‘em anyway, dammit.
I dunno Lisa, I think that this thread is a testament to … something, and it’s kind of become a PAB institution. It’s a source of wonder and awe to me, for shure.
OH fine. I won’t put a stake through it’s heart yet.
I and my sense of the absurd thank you.
I’ll outright say it I ‘strongly dislike’ Angelina Jolie and her lying bastard of a ‘lover’ Brad Pitt.
She is portrayed in the media as Santa Angelina; which is clearly a name she doesn’t not deserve. Sure she globe-trottes to build orphanages, visit war torn countries and wants to adopts a million kids. Yeah, and she is a fucking hypocrite. Some of you may know that her father Jon Voight cheated on her beloved mother, due to this Angelina Jolie has proclaimed that she would never be involved with a married man!
Well guess who she is with after that Billy Bob who might i say is engaged! Okay you can argue that enganged thats not married so it doesn’t count but I’m sure Brad Pitt counts. At the time they started Brad was still “happily married” to Jennifer Aniston. She has been digging her own grave these days, she proclaims that Brad was seperated from Jen by the time they were together but filming and editting for ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ had already finished earlier that year… then she goes on that her kids would to see the movie that their parents fell in love in… Bitch
Now she is wondering why she misses out on awards, sorry bitch the awards people like nominees with better backgrounds. Also with real body parts as well, we all know you’ve had your nose done and boob jobs and tummy tucks… Unlike the gracious Kate Winslet who might I say is around the same age as our dear Devil Angelina! Well bitch you brought it on yourself when you messed with Brad this is Karma!
Dammit, I thought we were staking this thread.
Every time Jen and Angelina appear on a tabloid cover together, this thread lurches back from the underworld. We can’t possibly be that close to the top of any i hate Brangelina google search.
angelina an brad need to stop reproducing and infesting the earth with their spawn.
SHES TRYING TO BE MOTHER THERESA , ALL THESE CHILDREN AND PROBABLY TWO NANIES, YOU KNOW SHE AINT TAKING CARE OF THEM BY HERSLELF
I just skimmed through the first four screens of “I hate Angelina Jolie” google hits, and nope, PAB’s not in any of them. So either these drive-by posters are really, really committed to their animus,or this thread is linked someplace high-traffic, or they’re posting ironically. I wish I thought it was the last option.
I am still bemused, amused, and generally fascinated by this thread’s dogged longevity and painful illiteracy. I may have to list “Watching the Brangelina Thread at PAB” as one of my Interests on LJ.
I cannot express how much DISLIKE I have for this woman!! she is a bully, conniving, and she manipulates everything to her standards!! evil woman. on another blog, someone had called her evilina and brat pitiful. they both knew what they were doing when they did it. So since 2005 both of them have had to do some major DAMAGE CONTROL. They need to re think everything. I mean, why would Brad leave and flirt and drink when he gets the chance and it’s always when that bitch isn’t around. I have a friend and he asked what all the ruckus is about concerning Angelina and I told him everything and showed him articles and blogs, etc. and all he said was this, ” He isn’t happy with her anymore. He probably feels suffocated because of her big mouth. He might have been in it for the relationship before, but now, it’s probably because of all those kids.” I mean, being a male also, my friend and his comments, I think he is right.
This thread is a force of nature, or possibly the first piece of convincing evidence I have ever seen that there are supernatural forces at work in the universe.
Please don’t kill this thread. I hope to see it outlive the Bradgelina complex.
What an EVIL woman! I cannot stand Angelina Jolie.
…omg…Antigone, where’s the stake…
…not knowing what it was, and then they’ll keep on posting on it forever just because it is the thread that never ends, yes it goes on and on….
Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, HAAAAAppy Anniversary!
I can’t believe somebody out there remembered!
McBoing, are you out there somewhere? Come and celebrate.
I really dislike Angelina Jolie. Shes an arrogant self centred snob who despises those worth less than her. The only thing she ever does is pout those bee stung lips and come up with another story about Brad Pitt and the children and her relationships. It’s just all about her never anyone else. I’ve never seen her smile in a friendly way just put up that stuck up look. Wish I punch her in face whenever she does it along with the disproportioned clown lips. Not even that pretty. Nothing speacial she is. Probably even ugly.
i fuckin hate jolie soo much…shes nuthin but a homewrecker…so she adopts kids…she can afford it…its nt like shes da only celeb hu adopts…brads a jerk fr cheatin on jen…da only reason he went to angie was coz of da kids…
WOW!I am so pleased to see this site! It’s refreshing to see some level headed people out there. Look, What she devil Angelina is famous for is her looks! That is all! She can’t take credit for that, she had nothing to do with that. She is a spiteful, hatful,nastyass person. She has no talent at all! She got movie roles because she slept with everyone. That thing with her brother IS VERY MUCH SEXUAL! Jennifer is not only gorgeous, but has more talent in her finger than angelina has ever. Jen is also real and does’t do things JUST for the publicity.To date jen has respect for herself and others. She is kind and caring and most of all she possess something she devil never has and never will have and that’s a heart and soul. Angelina has alot of nerve to get on her and talk about God, Brad has already publicly said he doesn’t believe in God. The biggest insult by far is the way she thinks that eveyone but her is stupid! When she has her assistant get on here to blog with those comments, she’s calling all of us(her fans as well,of coarse she knows they are idiot’s cause they buy into her delusions) dumb. They will not last,she can’t have a baby EVERY time DUMBASS brad wants to leave. Everyone knows that’s the only reason he stays.Mr.Voight is her father and has publicly said “she’s a MENTAL case”
I am soo happy that so many people hate Angelina as well!!! Actually she should be ‘Angelina’ she should be ‘Slutilina’. I understood that people starred her in their movies because she WAS pretty (when she was younger and hadn’t popped out all those kids) but now she is getting older and relying heavily on botox/ facelifts ( have you guys noticed she looks like a wax figure sometimes??) She acts like she is all high and mighty, and oh so important because she adopts kids and donates millions to charities. Thats probably why she is losing out on the awards hahah!! People don’t like when other women steal their husbands and make it out as though nothing happened, and also people don’t like when people are just SORE LOSERS! (re. Anne Hathaway at the CCA) you got what you deserved when you lost out to Anne and Kate. I know Angelina seems all charity and sweet and so deserving but bear in mind, she splashes out on flights, kids and other things, when she is all like saving the world by adopting one kid at a time. How about adopting some kids from America, god knows they need it! ALSO how about loving your own biological kids more, just because they were born into a better life doesn’t mean they don’t deserve the same sort of love! and they were what kept you and Brad together!
Yaaaay! The thread that never ends goes on!
Life is good.
HELLO DAPHNE, SLUTILINA CAN’T ADOPT IN U.S. BECAUSE, ARE YA READY…”SHE’S A DOCUMENTED MENTAL CASE”!
I wonder what other celebrities think about Angelina. And I’ m seriously wondering how she keeps getting big movie roles. It is really difficult for me to believe that people out there still WANT to see her in something. After her disgusting desperate behavior as of late and then actually thinking about adopting another child into her mess you would think that everyone is turned off by her, not just women but men too.
When you take a woman who is obviously blessed in the looks department, has millions of dollars and is called one of the *excuse me while I throw up in my mouth* most powerful people in Hollywood, and she STILL has depression issues and threatens her man leaving with talk of suicide, she becomes on of the most nasty, vile and horrifically ugly people in my opinion. Her looks make her a parody of what she really is. It’s frightening.
Brad, you’re not too bright are you.
