Holy Baby Inside A Baby Inside A Baby Batman!!

SNL went to the darkside during their weekend update by having "Madonna" face-off against fellow baby-hoarder "Angelina Jolie". I guess it doesn't really count since they were being merely portrayed, but the results of such a match-up are pretty spot on.

As k reported on Friday, Madonna's bid to adopt another child, this time a girl named Mercy were declined, including a pretty harsh tongue-lashing from the Malawian judge overseeing the case. While I can certainly understand Madonna's disappointment (let's face it, the might M isn't denied very often) she shouldn't be all that shocked. Even poor countries like Malawi (the same nation where Madonna adopted her son David Banda a couple years ago) have rules, and those rules apply to EVERYONE, even superstars.

What's amusing about the skit is the emphasis on Madonna and Jolie attempting to one-up each other in the exotic-baby-adopting department. With two egos the size of the Atlantic, it's hard to say who is more likely to come out ahead in real life, but in this contest, I guess Angelina wins, hell she's 3-0 in the baby-snatching from poor nations department, and Madonna, despite her plans to appeal the decision is, 1-1.

I'd be hard-pressed to choose a side, but I am slightly more inclined to lean towards Madonna, but only because Angelina is so freakin's smug about stealing little non-white infants. Here's what Jolie said in the past about Madonna's first adoption troubles:

Angelina Jolie has attacked Madonna for adopting a child 'illegally'.

She said the singer should never have visited an impoverished African country with the sole intention of choosing an infant.
