So this video of Salma Hayek breast-feeding a sick infant in SierraLeone wins today’s "biggest eyebrow-raiser" award, partly because it’sunusual in this day and age to see people breast-feeding other people’schildren, but also because her left breast has now done more for humanity in afew minutes than I’ve done in roughly my life.
Additional kudos for the two other things this clip has taught us:
1) Sierra Leonehas the highest rate ofinfant mortality of any nation; over 20 percent of those kidsdie from neonatal tetanus — which can be prevented by immunizingmothers.
2) A big honkin’ nobody watches Nightline:This segment aired on Thursday and is just making it to Ye OldeIntarnets today? Not since dial-up has so much time elapsed between acelebrity bosom appearing on television and the clip appearingon the Web.
Anyone else see this rather amazing (in more ways the one) clip? How cool is Salma Hayek?
She’s a classy lady.
thats a very touching thing she did, if only more was being done
As an unbashed breast fetishists (and particular fan of Ms. Hayek’s), even I am given pause and must say (with no sexual meaning) that this was a truly beautiful and wonderful gesture. God bless her.
Reason #14,658 to love Salma Hayek’s breasts.
She rocks.
This baby is going to have alot of bragging rights when he gets hunior high school!
Lucky baby.
I’ve always wished that I looked just like Selma Hayek; now I wish that I could BE like Selma Hayek.
That’s a sweet clip. She’s such a lovely person.
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
those are some magnificient ta-tas
I think i just j*zzed in my pants!
She’s lactating? Did she have a child recently, or did she do the hormone thing? It is pretty unusual for an non-pregnant, non post-partum woman to spontaneously lactate. But of course, Salma is fantastic in every other way, so why not?
Amazing. What a kind thing to do. I have a new respect for her.
As they said in the video, her baby was 1 at the time so she was breast feeding. Not going to lie, when I read this I thought it would be weird, but then seeing it I was like wow, that’s actually a really beautiful, giving thing to do. Very touching. And Salma has some of the best boobs ever, so they just keep giving and giving.
