UNITED NATIONS – The United Nations celebrated Wonder Woman's 75th birthday on Friday by naming the comic book character as its new Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Woman and Girls. The Friday event brought together actress Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman in the 1970s TV series, and Gal Gadot, who has taken on the role in the forthcoming "Wonder Woman" film, as well as Girl Scouts in Wonder Woman T-shirts and U.N. staffers' kids who skipped school, with one girl wearing a full Wonder Woman costume, complete with head piece. Diane Nelson, president of DC Entertainment, gave a speech in which she argued that stories — even comic book stories — can "inspire, teach and reveal injustices." The all day ceremony was celebrated by over a thousand UN staffers and foreign dignitaries. NYD provided extra security for the event.That's how wacky things haven't gotten...and U.S. tax payers are funding the largest portion of their parties. Trump has promised that other nations will start paying their fair share for the UN operating costs or they can vacate the three Yuge buildings and compound. The thousands of UN members and their staffers will also have to start paying for their own housing costs, which totals into the billions.
