8. Some random TMZ staffer wrote:

Whether or not your intent was to make a derogatory jab at this young Indian actress and her family, you certainly succeeded. Here's one right back at you... I'm sure your parents must truly proud to see what kind of person and journalist you've become.

Are you seriously snickering at that child and the environment she has little choice but to call "home"? If so, I fail to see the humor.

9. Did these kids make any money? Isn't someone trying to help them? They made millions for the movie producers and writers.

10. Wow, bunch of d***s who made their cut in the movie going platinum, and didnt think twice to make things better for the REAL stars of the show, the one's who made the movie a success. Their just living off the success these kids gave them, while the kids get a big screen tv, and a couple free gift bags, Di**s.

14. I totally agree with comment #7 & just want to add good for TMZ and other gossip blogs for keeping attention on how these kids are still living in the slums even though the producers & studio heads of this $100 million+ grossing are most likely out there living it up.

15. Don't worry. Soon, all our jobs in the USA will be outsourced to them and all our corporations will move their operations to India. It will be bigger than China. Globalization will turn the tables on us before we know it. Will other countries then send us billions and billions of dollars in aid? I highly doubt it.
