When not stealing African babies and then lecturing people about adoption, Madonna finds time to lecture people about the environment. And in fact she's headlining the Live Earth show from London this weekend. Oh but hey, guess what. Apparently her environmentalism stops at her checkbook. Fox says:
Madonna, who seems to be on top of all her many business endeavors, has actually invested about $2.7 million dollars in companies that are creating the destruction that Live Earth is trying to raise awareness about. She has invested in several companies named as the biggest corporate polluters in the world.The companies include Alcoa, Ingersoll Rand, Weyerhaeuser, and several others associated with oil exploration, digging, and refining including Ford Motors, BP, Schlumberger (a chief competitor of Halliburton), Devon Energy, Peabody Energy, Emerson Electric, Kimberly Clark and Weatherford International.In 2002, the University of Massachusetts' Political Research Institute ranked Alcoa No. 9 on a list of all-time toxic American companies.The same UMass PRI study ranked Ford Motor Company at No. 7 on the Toxic Top 10. Northrop Grumman was No. 17. Weyerhaeuser was No. 42. Emerson Electric was No. 56. 3M Corp was No. 70. Kimberly Clark was No. 96.
Holy Christ, this chick will invest in anything as long as it makes her a dime. I'm gonna start a firm that breeds poisonous bees or recycles ink by dumping it into the oceans and another that enslaves the Vietnamese. Look at their little fingers go, Madonna! And you can fit like a billion of em in one factory. Small employees = big savings.
