Heidi’s heroics
Any time reality TV star Heidi Montag tries to talk about serious issues, such as politics and war, you know it’s going to be unenlightening.
The attention addict recently spoke about hunger, something she’s probably familiar with, being regularly photographed in tiny bikinis.
“World hunger is a bigger issue than people realize,” Montag asserted. “Every six seconds a child dies of world hunger, so that’s a huge cause.”
This is a case of a frivolous adjective. You can describe hunger as an international problem, but there’s no need to call it world hunger. It sounds especially silly to talk about kids dying of world hunger — as opposed to Ethiopian hunger or Romanian hunger or Columbian hunger.
Montag also sounds brainless when she calls hunger “a huge cause.” It’s an important cause. A major issue. A pressing problem. An epidemic of enormous proportions. But a HUGE cause? Nah.
“We really need to do all we can to help out,” Montag added. For her, that meant stuffing her face at an L.A. Taco Bell to bring awareness to the World Hunger Relief Movement.
‘Cause that makes sense, right? If children are starving across the globe because of food shortages, why not shove a bunch of Mexican down some B-list celebrity who may throw it up in an hour?
