I LIKE GIRLS WHO WEAR ABERCROMBIE & FITCH
  WASHINGTON – The head of the International Monetary Fund called for increased aid to poor countries, saying that they are victims of the global recession.  
   “Poor countries desperately need financing to tide them over,” Dominique Strauss-Khan said during a meeting with a Washington think tank this week.  “How can we expect an African child to afford a V-neck sweater from Abercrombie & Fitch without our help?  How can an average African mother feed a family of four and still find money for the odd manicure?  How I ask you, how?”
   When later questioned, Strauss-Kahn admitted he didn’t know much about Africa other than it’s a catchy tune and he has it as his ring tone.
