I guess the Prime Minister of Barbados was looking for just that special gift to get Rihanna for her 20th birthday, couldn't find anything, so basically got her a get a out of jail free card for any country in the world. Rihanna was named an Ambassador for Culture and Youth by the government of Barbados. Although she won't be an Ambassador to any specific country and it is more of a goodwill thing than anything, what it does give Rihanna is a diplomatic passport and diplomatic immunity in any country of the world. Drug offense? What drug offense? Parking tickets? Please? Speeding tickets? Just ignore them? Murder? In most countries.
Basically, any of those troubling problems that plague singers as they travel the world can all be taken care of now with a flick of the passport. Yes, she probably would have to leave the country and never return, but things would not count against her. An arrest in Norway for pot? She normally would never be able to even enter Japan. Now, since it wouldn't be an official"arrest" they would let her in.
In order to encourage Rihanna to think about giving the Prime Minister a lap dance, he also gave her a plot of land in the most exclusive section of Barbados. This makes me more upset than the get out of jail free card. This is a woman who has made a fortune the past few years and can easily afford her own piece of land in this exclusive section. If you want to do something nice, donate the piece of land to the public and let them enjoy some time in a part of the country they are currently excluded from even getting close to. Rihanna will probably turn around and sell it anyway, so why not use it for something good? This is not about giving land to the disadvantaged, but it is about letting the citizens of the country who voted for you share in every part of their country, and not just the rich people.
Rihanna had this to say about it all, "I really don't know what to say. I am so grateful and I have never been more proud to be Bajan." Easy to be proud when they are giving away stuff.
why do you always seem so glum and see the worst in everyone and everything? actually i don't care what your excuse is, but at least be funny about it.
ReplyDeleteyou're a veritable debbie downer.
Because, blooter, he doesnt have an actual valid opinion on anything, so he finds a way to put a bitchy spin on it so he can justify talking about it so it seems like he's doing more than just posting everyone else's stories.
ReplyDeleteYes, diplomatic immunity is bullshit for an entertainer blah blah blah.
Yeah, he wants her.
ReplyDeleteWhat, do you want him to kiss celebs' asses and give them more ridiculous and undeserved worship? Go somewhere else for that bullshit.
