Lindsay Lohan Do-Gooding In India

So, Lindsay Lohan was recently in India where she was part of a BBC Three documentary on child trafficking. While there, she also visited a charity home for girls and helped raise the spirits of the kids there.

And I ask, Does she get any credit for this?
Of course not.

Why?
Because Lohan-hating is a national pastime.

Again I must defend Lindsay. And again I am probably a lone voice crying out in the wilderness. Be that as it may, I must say to her, "Good job Lindsay!"

I have read about her tweet (since removed) where she allegedly said that, "she saved 40 children" or whatever, and that sounds a little silly, but maybe she was excited to be helping out!

Did anybody think to give her the benefit of the doubt?
Of course not.

Why?
Because of the National Lohan-Haters League, which most of the U.S. seems to be a member of.

As usual all of these boneheads are coming out of the woodwork trying to condemn her...I don't know exactly what she said, and frankly I don't care, because it doesn't negate the fact that she's working on a worthwhile documentary and visiting POOR, SAD, INDIAN KIDS for crissakes.
We're all a bunch of armchair critics in this country.
Here's what I want to ask all of these people criticizing her...

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO INDIA?
ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING TO HELP THESE KIDS?

OF COURSE YOU HAVEN'T, AND OF COURSE YOU AREN'T!! So until you go to India and visit exploited children pipe down and let Lohan do her thing!

Does anyone else agree with me or am I alone on this Lohan thing?

  2. I just love this piece, it's just so thoughtful. For the record I have always wanted to go to India, have you ever thought about going? Also, I forgot to mention in the note I left on your car (did you get it?) that I made another headband, pretty soon I'll have as many as Lindsay Lohan! Haha!

    Can't wait for your next post!
