A HERO OF OUR TIMES

Mel Gibson is currently filming in Italy. He is adept at playing heroic individuals, more lately ones that are lavishly sticking it to us evil Brits. This paragon of American virtue and defiant, punch-em-in-the-face-and-spit-in-their-eyes stoicism is giving the finger to the terrorists of the Middle East by his mere presence in the Mediterranean area. Bravery beyond the call of Hollywood you might think. Brave of him then to include a clause in his contract that gets him the f*ck out of Europe on the first plane across the Atlantic should Bush unsportingly launch his attack on Iraq before filming wraps. Nice one Mel!
