The United Nations: Amy Wino Is Destroying the World

Quick! Get Wino into hiding! The United Nations are coming to get our favorite crack-head and we're not giving her up without a fight. Charges? Well, isn't it obvious? It's drugs, people, as always - and the whole thing is as serious as can be. Apparently, Wino is making crack look sexy (oh, no, she doesn't) and that's why she was deemed an international threat - well, not exactly, but something along those lines. I must confess I find all this extremely funny - not the drugs part, but the fact that they picked on Amy Winehouse only now, when in fact she's basically been doing nothing BUT take drugs live ever since her hit single "Rehab" first dropped. And that was a long time ago, you blood-thirsty UN people out there!

In case you still had any doubts about it, this whole thing is dead serious. The head of international body's Drugs And Crime Office, Antonio Maria Costa, singled out the singer during his public attack on celebrity cocaine users. "Rock stars, like Amy Winehouse become popular by singing: 'I ain't going to rehab', even though she badly needed and eventually sought treatment," he declared. BBC 6 Music reports that Costa accused the star of glamorizing a global drug trade that threatens to devastate impoverished west African nations, where certain governments are now vulnerable to the damaging influence of drug money.

Well, in case you felt a bit like Angelina Jolie, who can't sleep at night because she's tormented by the thought that she hasn't done enough to help people in need and while Angie may have done more than her fair share of work, I think picking on Wino was not the very best idea in the world. I think those UN officials should actually do a little more research into old Wino's ways - and then they could easily realize that what the troubled singer did was to actually show the world how an extremely talented person can effectively break down and screw their entire life in just a couple of months.

Wino is in fact an ongoing public meltdown. She is showing people exactly what drugs will do to them: take away their reason (any doubts left on why she married that junkie husband of hers?), make them act stupidly, wear filthy, revolting, blood-stained clothes, forget their lines in the middle of a concert, shout abuse at fans and basically just hopelessly trail from one miserable situation to another. If that's glamorizing, then I think someone should definitely look that word up in the dictionary and see exactly what it means. So, keep off our Wino - there are plenty of other boozers and crack-heads out there to pick on. Anyone got Kate Moss' number?
