We vaguely remember calling a moratorium on celebrities traveling to Africa, but if they go in for a purpose we suppose we'll allow it. The latest is Ben Affleck, who just wrapped up a trip to the Congo on behalf of the evergreen news program "Nightline."

Affleck pitched the idea of taping his trip to ABC after visiting the country earlier this year, where despite the best efforts of a democratic republic, fighting continues in skirmishes related to the devastating Second Congo War.

And to think, he could just stay home and make dirty videos with Jimmy Kimmel.
