A year ago, Jessica Simpson said that she was, “exploring options to further help these children in need,” in reference to Casa Hogar Elim orphanage. Those words were a little misleading because it would seem that she was going to adopt one of the damn kids. That’s not the way she likes to do things because she is a trailblazer. She isn’t going to just follow Angelina Jolie’s lead. She is her own woman.
According to Yahoo! News:
The pop star passed along a brand new seven-seater van to the Casa Hogar Elim orphanage in Nuevo Laredo last week, publicist Cindi Berger confirmed to E! News.
Simpson won said vehicle at a swag suite at the MTV Video Music Awards last fall.
It may have been a free car, but let’s not get angry about that. She never claimed she was out to save the world.
Now, if we can just explain that to the kid who the orphanage thought for sure was the best candidate for an adoption by Jessica Simpson

Want a neat little picture by your comments? Get one here.How does “to further help these children in need” translate into “she was going to adopt one of [them]“?
I don’t know if a van is what they need most, but trying to help more than just one seems like a good idea to me.

I think it’s pretty lame that it took her winning a free car to donate one. If you understand the meaning of the words “orphanage” and “Mexico,” you can probably surmise that they could use ANYTHING. How ’bout a few of those American Dollars that you earn for pretending to eat food that you’re allegedly allergic to?
Seriously, no one has to give, and maybe she is extremely generous but quiet about it (which I somehow doubt- someone would recognize good publicity). But passing along free swag isn’t really what you call generous. It’s more like offsetting the taxes from the car you won and don’t need, by donating it to some poor people in Mexico where gas costs more than it does in the U.S. Yeah, what do you think the odds are that she threw in a $100 Shell gift certificate? (It’s Pemex in Mexico, but I’m just saying.)
