STAR OF the silver screen, Adam Sandler has been doing his part in charity fund raising for the victims of the Israel-Lebanon war. He is sending 400 play stations to Israel.

The Anger Management star said the Playstations would be delivered to those families whose houses had been damaged in the fighting.

We assume he means those who were hit by Hezbollah rockets as there are not a heck of a lot of Israeli houses inside Lebanon. We also assume that they are houses with a power supply and working televisions or else they will have difficulty getting them to work.

The donation is part of a lobbying effort by Ehud Danoch, Israel's consul general in Los Angeles who has been schmoozing with the stars lately. Danoch has been telling them all about the damage sustained by Israel and to explain the country's position on the cease-fire and threats posed by Hezbollah.

If people are thinking of donating stuff to Lebanon a new infrastructure might be appreciated more than games consoles.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
