Heal the world

With the Palestinian elections coming up (and without), a lot of downright stupid lame-assed stuff happens in the world, don't it Mr.DNA? Here is an excerpt from a newspaper article:

"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," Gere said, according to a transcript of the announcement obtained by The Associated Press.

Gere ended the 80-second spot produced by the pro-peace group, "One Voice," with an appeal in Arabic: "Take part in the elections."

"I'm Richard Gere and I speak for the entire world." Were you even notified of this? Sheesh, what are they thinking? Next thing you know, they'll have little holograms of Julia Roberts on the ballot paper which will play the hotel-scene from Pretty Woman if you put the voting ink on it!

And in other related (?) news:

A zealous young courtier moved aside the chair as Britain's Queen Elizabeth II arose at Christmas dinner — then looked on in horror as she promptly sat down again, ending up on the floor.

Courtier Fraser Marlton-Thomas believed the queen wanted to fetch something from the buffet, but the 78-year-old monarch only wanted to reach for something or talk to someone further down the long table.

Instead of landing back on the chair, she "reseated" herself on the floor along with a couple of the royal corgis, who as usual were waiting for titbits, the Mail on Sunday newspaper reported.

Its a wonderful world, alright.
