It has come to my attention (via Isabel) that Cristiano Ronaldo, who's probably Portugal's most famous footballer nowadays, has issued a video statement appealing for any information concerning little Maddie McCann's disappearance last week in the Algarve, here in our country.

For one thing, this post serves as a little echo for such appeal and on the other hand to give two thumbs way up for Ronaldo. Sometimes being famous does make a difference and this is definitely one such case.

Let's hope this case has a happy ending, even though it's harder and harder to believe so as the days go by.
