  1. But on the plus side, this tragedy will allow them to answer a question regarding the combustibility of tin shacks that they’re sure to get at next year’s “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” tournament of champions.

  2. Gabe Freda Pinto’s probably really upset now, I think it’s your time

  3. Brown people problems! (Am I doing this right?)

  4. Sounds like someone’s got a case of the Mondays!

  5. If my math checks out, we should be reading about James Franco’s house burning at some point in 2013 (2012 end of the world permitting).

  6. Wow, this is a really awful story. Whoops, I forgot to tell a joke!

  7. In all seriousness, I bet those kids ARE pretty upset about that Oscar-loss.

  8. I blame the terrible truth that poverty exists in the world Danny Boyle.

  9. You can say what you want about fame whoring, but if these kids lived in the United States, they would have had a milkshake named after them at Millions of Milkshakes, and multiple exclusive deals with Radar Online. I am sure India has its own fame whoring industry, but if you are serious about your game you need to make it to the USA.

  10. But she got to go to the Golden Globes! I say the universe is even with this kid.

  11. You guys think this is bad? you should see what happened to the withdrawal dream baby from trainspotting

  12. Um, why are we making fun of this?

    • Eh, I think it’s fair game. Boyle set up the Jai Ho Trust and through that offered this family an apartment but the father was so stubborn about which apartment to move into that they still lived in the slums 3 years later
