...born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad

UN pimps for “peace”: What’s the best way for a morally bankrupt international organization in thrall to its largest voting bloc—a Heinz 57 of nations ruled by mostly by tyrants, despots and fanatical theocrats—to get people to overlook its, er, shortcomings? Make a Hollywood hottie its “peace messenger,” of course. The Ceeb pants:

Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron has been made a messenger of peace by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.

The South African-born actress, who won an Academy Award for her role as real-life serial killer Eileen Wuornos in the 2003 film Monster, will have a special focus on ending violence against women.

Theron, who is now an American citizen, is also the founder of a project aimed at promoting HIV/AIDS education for children and their families in her former homeland.

"You have used your voice, compassion and special relationship with the public to create a better world," said the secretary general in his announcement on Friday.

The 33-year-old performer will be officially appointed on Monday in a ceremony in New York City.

Her new role is apropos considering Theron's background. At 15, she witnessed the death of her father when her mother Gerda shot him in self-defence when he attacked her…

Apropos, too, given that her father was a tyrant, and that “honour killing” is a common feature of so many members of the OIC.
