The other Scarlett (Johansson) was in Africa and other news items and pictures

Scarlett Johansson was in Rwanda last week to visit AIDS clinics and support Bono's Red Campaign. Which was all know is a very effective way to save Africa.

Nice photo of Ethan. I am reminded of an old Seinfeld episode:

"I sense great vulnerability. A man-child crying out for love. An innocent orphan in the post-modern world."
"I see a parasite. A sexually depraved miscreant who is seeking only to gratify his basest and most immediate urges."
"His struggle is man's struggle. He lifts my spirit."
"He is a loathesome, offensive brute. Yet I can't look away."
"He transcends time and space."
"He sickens me."
"I love it."
"Me too."
