Angry mob smashes Pretty Woman DVDs

One day after actor Richard Gere released a television commercial in which he ordered the Palestinian people to go out and vote, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip staged a violent uprising against the Hollywood star.

Mr. Gere's commercial, in which he said, "Hi, I'm Richard Gere and I'm speaking for the entire world," infuriated Palestinian militants, who were seen smashing "Pretty Woman" DVDs and shouting anti-Gere slogans throughout Gaza today.

While Mr. Gere's high-handed command may not succeed in motivating Palestinians to go to the polls, it could ultimately foster peace in the Middle East, since many Palestinians now hate Richard Gere more than they hate Israel.

"For years, I thought that Ariel Sharon was the enemy," said Abed Zobaidi, 29. "Now I realize that the real enemy is that 'American Gigolo' bastard."

It gets crazier by the minute. Perhaps the palesites feared for the safety of the indigenous hamsters in the region, given Mr. Gere's rumored practices.

Priceless

"and shouting anti-Gere slogans throughout Gaza today"

NO MORE GERBILS! NO MORE GERBILS! NO MORE GERBILS! NO MORE GERBILS!

Cmon! is this artilcle a joke?

[Beckwith]

Who the hell elected this jerk to be the spokesman for the world.

Talk about arrogance.

[hoosierboy]

They hate Richard Gere? Hey even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[zygoat]

Bwahahahaha! Gere is nat a man, he is but a gerbil stuffer, Julia Roberts is anything but a pretty woman, and now the Pali's are chrunchin'em' both up in the streets!
What a riot!

[Kenton]

Well, I don't agree with the Palis very often, but I just wanted to let them know we here in the USA have a very similar reaction when he offers us political advise.

PETH - Palestinians for the Ethical Treatment of Hamsters

[Dr. Scarpetta]

If Mr. Gere has in fact redirected the Palestinians' rage away from Israel and towards himself, he may be a strong candidate for the next Nobel Peace Prize, experts said.

ROFLMAO

Maybe we found the key to Middle East Peace. Send our liberals over there to make their inane delusional comments. Then the Palestinians will learn to recognize such self serving drool and reject their Mullahs when they do the same.

Five Point plan for Peace

• Richard Gere speaks for the world.
• Michael Moore does a documentary on Israel.
• Al Gore goes and invents the infitada.
• Barbara Steisand and husband make a movie about Sharone.
• Hillary Clinton goes over and attempts to take control and screams obsenities at any Palestinian leaders who get in her way.

Is this for-real?!?!?!?!? If so - ROFL!!!!!!! The rich Hell-y-wood limosine liberal phoney-baloney with the big flappin' bazoo gets the people he wants to "help" ticked off at him! Love it, love it, luuuuuuuuuuuuuv it! I think "mister" Gere should go the second mile, since he wants to "help" with their elections so much, and move to Gaza! I'm sure he'll get quite a "reception!"

Maybe Babs Streisand, Alec Baldwin, Linda Rhonstadt, Cher, and other assorted Hell-y-wood nincompoops should accompany "mister" Gere to Gaza as well.

[hgro]

Gere says "Hey, I'm only espousing Scientology and voodoo Budism to you ignorant bastards, get a life."

[miss marmelstein]

This reads like a headline in Weekly World News!

"Who sez there is no good news from th Middle East? They may have more in common with me that I realize."

You and me, both!

What kind of arrogant and demented idiot would spout that crap? Imagine what Gere and his lickspittle cronies if Bush said "Hi, I'm [George Bush] and I'm speaking for the entire world..."

If that's true, then keep your buns clenched tight. The gerbil circus thrill-O-rama is coming to your neighborhood soon!

Hey, why not? Those Swedish clowns will give the Nobel ro just about anybody if they're Anti-American enough (and oh yes, I include peanut-brain Jimmy Carter in this group).
