The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
Happily Ever After My Ass: Slumdog Millionaire Child Star's Father Wants to Sell Her. (Father Now Denying)
If this is what it takes to wake up the kinds of people who think we only need feel good movies (or religion) to get us through this life, I guess that's what has to be.
I feel crappy for this family, but I'm betting money will be given to the father without them losing their daughter. Hopefully the money comes from the guys who made so much off of her work.
But there are millions in the Indian ghettos who will not be so lucky as to avoid selling children or to avoid being sold into slavery.
So much for glorious Capitalism.
See "Newser: Dad Wants to Sell Slumdog Child Star"
According to reports the father is denying that he ever intended to sell his daughter and asserts he only met with the disguised reporters to be polite, and because he thought the situation might have been a set up by his ex- wife to get custody of the child.
My browser crashed and I cannot find the article this retraction comes from, but I did want to note the father's statement.
