which one is lindsay?

When the BBC decided to do a documentary on child trafficking in India, they naturally called Lindsay Lohan. She would be the ideal host because she can’t form a sentence, doesn’t know anything about India or child trafficking, will probably get lost or high or high and then lost, and she has a long history of taking credit for things she didn’t do.

Guess how the trip is going so far. The Telegraph UK says…

An Indian charity has accused Lindsay Lohan of claiming to have helped to rescue 40 child labourers in New Delhi when she was not actually in the country.
In a series of posts on Twitter, Lohan, who has undergone treatment for alcohol abuse, appeared to boast of her role in the rescue and suggested that it had changed her life.
“Over *40 children saved* so far…… Within one day’s work…… This is what life is about….. Doing THIS is a life worth living!!!” she said. She later added: “Focusing on celebrities and lies is so disconcerting, when we can be changing the world one child at a time…. hope everyone can see that.”
But according to the charity which organised the raid, neither Lohan nor the BBC, were present (during the raid).

But she is helping though, right?

Her comments caused a stir in India and anger among those who led the raid.
A leading social activist and lawyer accused Lohan of portraying dangerous child rescue operations as superficial events, which could be carried out in a day by passing celebrities.
“She was not even in the country when this raid happened.”
Ruchira Gupta, an anti-trafficking campaigner, said: “If celebrities do it to get publicity then they are trivialising child-trafficking.”

But at least she’s not just hiding in some fabulous hotel room. She’s even wearing a bindi or tilaka on her forehead. A tilaka is religious in nature, associated with Hinduism, meditation and spiritual enlightenment. A bindi is more ornamental these days, but at one point they were used to tell you about the person. They signify age, marital status, religious background or ethnic affiliation status, just like how stickers on bananas tell you if they’re fresh, where they come from and the price. Bindis essentially were used to signify social status. In America we do that with gold teef.
