Felicity Adopts a Black ... Puppy

Felicity Huffman's adoption of a black lab went a little smoother than Madonna's controversial Malawian baby purchase adoption.


On Friday, the "Desperate Housewives" star picked up a pup at an L.A. humane organization as an early holiday gift for her daughters, proving that not all celebrity adoptions require a trip to the Third World and an appearance on Oprah!

31. Are you guys serious? No wonder there is so much racism in this world. You mean to tell me it's humarious to compare a dog to another human being or race? You say that it's a publicity stunt by Modonna to adopt an African child, but what do you call your article? And to hear people say that it's better for Felicity to adopt a dog than another hopeless child, it's very sad:( What are we teaching our children? Are they going to grow up to become racist like you all?

32. I guess TMZ is place where the more blatant ignorant writers of AOL are banished to. That headline is a problem... work it out people! IT IS NOT CUTE AND NOT NECESSARY

33. Whatever you people want to say to defend this headline... who cares. It annoys me and there's too many gossip sites available that don't annoy me for me to stick around here with the rest of you guys. have fun!

34. Have you guys lost your f***ing minds? How on earth could you (1) make light of any adoption, child or animal? It's a selfless thing for a person to do and to make a joke of it or to attempt to make light of it is simply STUPID and (2) what's with the "Black" reference as if her dogs colour has anything to do with David's race? I detect an attempt at snark here, however, I would suggest leaving that talent to those that actually possess it. Go back to smoking joints outside of celebrity-filled nightspots and continue being "that" kind of journalism. I am shocked that a site owned by a Jewish man who went on a insane crusade against Mel Gibson for making anti-Semitic remarks would allow any of their "writers" (who I suspect made it through English 102 at best) to write and publish such a heinous piece and masque it as "news" or "entertainment"! Bunch of morons!!!!!!!!!!!

35. TASTELESS to the nth degree, TMZ. I can barely muster any words for the blatant racist comments in that "story". If you have such issues with Madonna (or anyone else for that matter) adopting children of a different race, do yourself a favor and don't do the same thing yourself. The person that wrote this makes a great case for why abortion should remain legal. He/she is an utter waste of human energy and does nothing to promote the beauty of adoption. People that want to criticize Madonna (and Angelina for that matter) are JEALOUS and narrow-minded and I would venture to guess they'd be the last ones on earth to step up and adopt a needy child whether that child is from the US or not! In short, whoever wrote this is a floating piece of sh*t that is in dire need of flushing.

36. Let's see:

Meg Ryan adopts a Chinese baby and no one made a stink (or highly inappropriate jokes) about that...

Hugh Jackman has two adopted children; one is biracial Black/White. Haven't heard a stink about that one either...

Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise have two adopted children; also have a biracial son. Still not hearing sh*t about that...

When Angelina adopted Maddox, people were happy for her. When she adopted Zahara, those same folks (and her insane "father") questioned her sanity...

And let's not forget the world's famous Jew (yes, TMZ, I'm going there and Mr. Levine needs to take note as well), Woody Allen. Adopts an Asian child with his wife then later marries here. Yeah, we heard a stink about it but shouldn't Woody the Freakish Child Molester have suffered more backlash than he has? You f***ing betcha!

The double standards (i.e. racists) that can't get over Madonna's choice of adopting a Black child from a third world country need to get a f***ing life. I'm sure they don't bat an eyelash when a White American adopts out of the country (Russian adoptions are the most common out of country adoptions) because their friends/cohorts are adopting WHITE kids and, apparently, that's a "good" thing. Never mind that there are thousands of White kids in the good old US (I've seen Madonna be accused of turning her back on "her" country but Madge lives in England so that's HER country) but never say anything when a White couple brings a White child into the country or into their lives.

The comments I've seen on here confirm that I live amongst narrow-minded, selfish, racist freaks.

Kudos to Madonna, Angelina, Hugh Jackman and anyone else who realizes they have the capacity to open their hearts (and wallets) to any child that needs it! At least they are doing something to help, not just pissing and moaning about the good that they've done!!!!!!!!

37. Isn't adoption really the issue here? Why couldn't TMZ just say she "adopted....a dog?

38. Extremely poor taste and very offensive. Comparing a "black/african" child to a "black" dog is racist, ignorant and obnoxious. What were you thinking?

PS
I don't recall any type of uproar when Americans were going overseas to adopt Chinese or European babies. Why the fuss about African adoptions? If ANY child can be adopted and LOVED, who cares about the race, color, or gender? If it does not concern you - mind your own business!

42. Felicity will love that dog if he is as good as my 2 chocolat labs. My kids have grown so they are like my babies. There's nothing like a dog as they are so loving & loyal.
Shouldn't have compared a black dog with a black child though.

43. That was really tasteless of you to compare a puppy to a child. How stupid are you???
