Brad Pitt's mommy dearest made headlines last week after making her not-so-accepting views of the LGBT community known. In case you missed it, she wrote a letter to her local newspaper which encouraged readers to vote for Mitt Romney because of his opposition to same-sex marriage.

Obvi, we weren't thrilled and since Brad is a major supporter of equality, we bet he wasn't either. However, the woman is a faithful conservative Christian and we all know how hard it can be to shake some sense into that crowd.

We have our beliefs, they have theirs, but we wish we could all compromise when it comes to treating every human being with fairness.

Either way, Brad describes his mother, Jane, as a "very, very loving — very open, genuine" woman who "wants everyone to be happy." His brother, Doug, seems to agree and defended her right to express her views in the manner she did.

Ch-ch-check out this extremely funny commercial (above) of Brad Pitt's brother Doug Pitt.

In the segment we see how a fabulous looking guy lives compared to his fabulous looking brother.

This really tickled our fancy and we hope it tickles yours!

We're almost 100% sure this is the ACTUAL brother…but maybe not.

Although he looks just like Brad, so we'd be shocked if he wasn't.

Wow! What an honor!

While Brad Pitt and his family are stranded in Europe because of the pesky volcanic ash still in the air and grounding planes, his younger brother, Doug Pitt, has been named the first Goodwill Ambassador to the United Republic of Tanzania by the country's President, Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete!

Kikwete says:

"He is natural in a sense that he is a person that has been to the country, knows the country and loves the people. We are quite confident that he is going to do the job that he's expected to do and he's going to do it very well."

Pitt is a photojournalist and apparently runs a charity that supplies African countries with fresh water!

Congratulations are certainly in order! We bet he's going to do a fantastic job!
