Brad Pitt Gets Honored

Brad Pitt was just honored for his work in New Orleans because rumor has it they were hit by a hurricane several years ago and he is helping rebuild it. According to Reuters:

Pitt was presented with a plaque from the U.S. Green Building Council which said the actor and his foundation "Make It Right" had created the "largest and greenest single-family community in the world."

"'Make It Right' has exceeded my expectations," said Pitt who set up the foundation in 2007.

"Our criteria from the beginning were at odds, to say the least. We demanded that these homes be sustainable, that they have aesthetic qualities ... that they be storm resilient and take safety in mind of the families who live there and that they would be affordable."

"Make It Right" has created 13 homes in the New Orleans area the 9th Ward, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Honestly, this guy should be honored a lot more for his ability to do anything at all while being married to Angelina Jolie and all those multinational children. They must have a platoon of babysitters to take care of them while he's off building houses in New Orleans and making movies where he scalps Nazis.
