Joss Stone recently told Venice Magazine that she is appalled that the media focuses around things like her hair color or Britney's rehab, when there are so many other captivating stories out there. Stone recently took a trip to Africa, and was shocked to hear stories about child soldiers who are forced to eat each other. Yes, you heard that right.

 

I'll let Joss explain:

 

"I went to Africa for a couple of weeks before I did the album. And I didn't know that for 20 years now, maybe more, there's an army of people, I don't know deeply about it ‘cause it's not talked about, they steal young children from their parents while they're sleeping or whatever. They steal them at the ages of three and four and they basically turn them into killing machines and they make them eat each other. It's completely true. If one of them tries to run away they shoot [him] and then have [him] brought back and have the other children eat [him]. That's just one example. It's so horrible. It's so barbaric and horrible and disgusting and I'm like, 'Why don't I know about this? There are newspapers and TVs and I'm out here. How am I knowing this and it's never talked about?' That's one issue. Can you imagine how many others there are? You're giving me a two-page spread on the color of my hair or whatever the hell it was, something stupid, and then there's this going on. And then you talk about Britney's shaved head."

 

Child-eating? That's awful. But hey, at least it's better than Arby's!

 

No, seriously, Arby's rules. Love the 5-for-5 deal. And that child-eating thing is probably the craziest shit I've ever heard. I'm with Joss. Why don't we know about this? Do magazines think the general public won't care about child-eating in Africa? You underestimate us, In Touch. Ms. Stone, just for you, I'm gonna bring up African child-eating in every story I do for the next week. Christina Aguilera adds tour dates? We'll sneak in child-eating somehow. Linkin Park releases a single? Child-eating! Gwen Stefani talks about her new kid? I'll talk about eating that kid! Just for you, babydoll.

 

Now, if you'll excuse me, it's 6PM and I have to go eat some children... umm... I mean... go watch TV.

 

 

(Sorry Joss, but I couldn't do it, that's just disgusting)
