Title: No Reservations Post by: Paelos on March 01, 2011, 07:09:35 AM 2011 Season debuted last night with Tony going to Haiti. It was...surreal, and nothing like what I was expecting. There's a moment in the show that was very poignant when Tony is eating in the streets with one of his guides, surrounded by children who haven't eaten in days. When he decides to buy them all food, it turns into a shoving melee to get at the offerings.
As he put it, "Hungry people started acting like hungry people. The strong dominate the weak. Like many well intentioned aid efforts, we thought with our hearts instead of our heads, and it all went to shit."

I highly recommend it if you haven't checked out the new season as Tony's going to some cool places. Plus in this one, Sean Penn shows up and actually impresses you with not being a celebrity douche. He's actually a cool humanitarian who lives what he preaches, which is refreshingly crazy.
