Wonder Woman
It’s official! On October 21, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will declare Wonder Woman as the honorary ambassador for the United Nations, launching a campaign to achieve gender equality and women’s empowerment over the next 15 years. When I read this I thought at first it was a piece from The Onion but it turned out to be a perfectly legit article in the New York Times . I guess this will really serve as a wake up call to Boko Haram. The article indicated that Wonder Woman got the nod over 6 other candidates that were not identified. As mystified as I was by this inexplicable affair I immediately wanted to know who had been passed over. With millions of people around the globe being starved, mutilated and vaporized, if the United Nations truly felt this was a worthwhile way to spend time and money, couldn’t they have gone about things in a more sensible manner?
