what's going on in the world today..

i don't really watch the news, i'm more of a newspaper/magazine type of gal.. but waking up today, i turned on my tv and heard just about the most fucked up thing ever. so, the father of 9 year old Rubina Ali, the young star of Slumdog Millionaire, tried to sell his daughter for $300,000. i find this incredibly sad and it actually somewhat pisses me off. i can't believe we live in a world where hearing these stories is still possible. HUMAN RIGHTS, anyone? this is just plain awful.
