Too funny for words, read it yourself.

JERUSALEM -- Actor Richard Gere has recorded a TV commercial urging Palestinians to vote in their election Sunday.

"Hi, I'm Richard Gere, and I'm speaking for the entire world. We're with you during this election time. It's really important: Get out and vote."

Richard Gere Speaks For World to Palestinians

Wait, I thought he spoke for the Dali Lama, wait, I thought he had to deny he put a coked up declawed and toothless gerbil up his ass.... now he speaks for the world. Hello, world? I want a better representative.
 
They should bring Peter Sellers as Dr. Strangelove back from the dead like they brought back John Wayne for that beer commercial.
 
[quote name='Drocket']So, um, are you saying the world DOESN'T want people to get out and vote?[/quote]

I'm saying that just about anyone other than gere could make that kind of commercial less offensive to me.

Maybe someone with more credibility and maybe even some credentials as a world representative, than a two-bit bad actor who's gotten by on his looks and his big mouth for 20 years.
 
While it may be true, saying you speak for the world just sounds arrogant.

"We don't need the Americans' intervention. We know who to elect. Not like them -- they elected a moron."

Best quote ever.
 
I actually got a kick out of that myself. Not that I agree but it shows the contempt that the rest of the world has for us at times, which BTW is not new. Europeans called Reagan an idiot warmonger, tons of Arabs hated GW, I don't think the Vietnamese were terribly fond of LBJ this goes back decades and name your President.
 
I hate Richard Gere, whether the gerbil thing is true or not. He comes off as an ass, and he is ugly-looking, I have no clue what other women see in him.
 
The irony is that Gere is one of those lefties in hollywood complaining that the US is too arrogant, yet in claiming to speak for the world, displays the same arrogance.
 
Still I do not find this near as bad as Sean Penn attacking Matt Stone for saying you should not vote if you are not informed on the issues.

My friend did this last election and only listened to his daddy and grandma. It just pisses me off that people have this right to vote and they do not take full advantage. I am not saying you have to know everything about this issues, but at least look at a few key ones before you make up your mind
 
Casey, how is that much different than unions telling their members who to vote for? Not everyone in a union thinks that is the single most defining thing in their life yet they do it and have done it for 70 years. We're political junkies and we make up less than 10% of the voting age population.

Just like we have no interest in Hummels, Disney Classic pieces or Days of Our Lives trivia many people have no interest in politics.

It doesn't matter. The fact that somebody's hairdresser's sister's cousin's coworker's dentist's wife's aunt said that she head it from her second-cousin-by-marriage's roommate's lawyer's nephew's doctor completely destroys any credibility the man may have. Plus, he's a filthy Buddist.

Day's of our Live's trivia rarely get's 1000+ soldier's heads blown off (though I have heard of a few cases...)
