They’ve ignored the violent region for a decade, they’ve never spoken out about the Islamist radical terrorists who have killed thousands, but now that over 250 girls have been kidnapped by the Islamist terror group Boko Haram, suddenly a handful of Hollywooders have deigned to notice… and weeks late at that.
In April, the terror group Boko Haram went on a mass kidnapping spree imprisoning hundreds of Nigerian girls who were trying to attend school. The Islamists are against girls going to school, naturally. That and they want to money from selling the girls into sexual slavery. Hundreds of grief stricken Nigerian parents have been trying to get the world to notice for weeks.
President Obama has been ignoring the mass kidnapping for almost a month already. But now he is finally starting to pay attention. On May 7 First Lady Michelle Obama Tweeted out a photo of herself holding a piece of paper that sways “#Bring Back Out Girls.”
For his part, the President has begun to offer some help, though no one is quite sure what that amounts to yet.
That is all well and good, but what is galling is the idiots in Hollywood. Suddenly being all worried about the Nigerian girls is all the rage among the hipsters. To express their newfound concern a handful of Hollyidiots Tweeted photos of themselves with stern faces holding signs that say “real men don’t buy girls.”

Real men double check the drain plug before they launch their bass boat.
Here is an opportunity for all our Hollywood super heroes to put their big boy and big girl pants on and go over to Nigeria and be heroes. But the best they’ve got are hashtags —
Watch out Boko Haram — incoming hashtags.
Of course they do, if they happen to be rich and possibly famous.
Real men don’t buy girls? Maybe not, but do they pay for their abortions? Where have our chivalrous [real] men gone? Who took them? We want them back. #BringBackOurChivalrousMen
spend a few million and hire some mercenaries Sean!
Or can’t you do anythng be act tough?
If only they cared so much for all of the girls that have been aborted around the globe.
What of this “War on Women?”
Where are the “Concerned” Democrats now?
Where is Sandra Fluck?
And where is the Women’s Group N.O.W.?
Could it be that the “Women’s Study” Professors,
Are tied to their Classes still?
And where are the Women Students?
With their loud voices shrill?
What was the real target
Of the Democrat’s War on Women?
Surely their real target
Was not the Republicans,
Or, - - - really and truly is it?
SO, our rich and famous are all balled up about 250 African girls, but no such concern about 3 Navy seals and an Ambassador killed by the same type of people?
shows where their priorities are.
I know who all those douchebags are, excepting one.
I suppose that makes me a douche by association.
Matt Damon?
You’re right that they never mention gender selective abortions.
You get to hold up your stupid signs and run #hashtag campaigns because real men don't fight evil with slogans.
Who do you think Boko Haram fears more?
They have made Special Forces irrelevant, and twitter accounts for all theaters of conflict, will save us billions.
Oh the Humanity.
Hey Sean, “Real Men Don’t Hit Women With a Baseball Bat.”
Geez, this guy is a loony tune. I believe him like I believe Brad Pitt and Angeline and Jennifer Anniston are ever going to marry. They do it all for publicity to keep them in the public’s eye. None of these guys can really seem to commit to anything except getting their names and pics in the public eye. Same old, same old.
