Adam Sandler Sends 400 PlayStations To Israeli Kids Whose Homes Have Been Destroyed By Terror-Rockets
The man just doesn't break character:
Adam Sandler is doing his part to help Israel following its 34-day war with Lebanon. The 50 First Dates star announced earlier this week he would donate 400 Sony Playstations to Israelis whose homes were damaged in the fighting. The 39-year-old made the pledge during a meeting in Hollywood with Ehud Danoch, Israel's consul general in Los Angeles.
A very nice gesture, and a totally Sandleresque response to disaster relief. There's very little that can focus a kid's mind to the exclusion of all else like a videogame. (Send over some of the now-very-cheap original Spyhunter games, too -- it's awesome.)
Although a better repsonse might have been to take a page from the Warriors of Courage from the left and just film a videotape lecturing the kids, "Hey, kids. Don't be such wussies. It's just a little month long uninterrupted Nazi buzz-bomb campaign targeting your homes and schools. Man up, and stop with the crying before I come over there and give you something to cry about. I'll give you a Sonny-Corleone-beat-down, trashcan-slam and kick in the guts at no extra charge."
In related news, Barbara Streisand has offered to send over 1000 copies of The Mirror Has Two Faces, but the Israelis have asked, "How about a couple of dozen copies of Tiger Woods' Golf?"
