Namibia, Birthplace of the Stars

| BEATHA NATHANIEL, Systems Analyst “I think it’s really great that they’re marketing our country. I’m sure other actors would like to have their babies here as well.” |
KADIRI MUSA, Merchant “I guess they read the report about how the U.S. infant mortality rate is higher than Namibia’s.” |
ISAAC PETRUS, Senior Account Executive “They should go in the Guinness Book of Records for being the first Hollywood couple to have a baby in Namibia.” |
Believe it or not, only one of those quotes is made up. I got the name and occupation for the fake one from a Nigerian scam email I got sent.
