You have embarrassed our one and only “Citizen Of The World”.
I bet he didn't know where to look.
I wonder if he needs to come out of the closet.
I know Chris. He seems very much the 'don't be seen or heard' sort of person doesn't he.

Thanks for the video again, I have on posted this for a laugh. Most of my Colombian friends with a high level of English got it first time around.
Sorry to see Timberlake do that, his film In Time, where time was literally money, was a great piece of socialist propaganda imho. To go from such clarity and anger about inequality, to this mockery of a fallen hero of the poor, what a shame...

How? Did you see the film? It was great, not sure if you'd have liked it though...

#12 Not THAT film silly! I was talking about “In Time”, a dystopian sci-fi film he was in where lifetime was literally the currency; the contrast between the lives of the poor (one powerful scene sees the Timberlake character's mother drop down dead for being literally seconds late for an appointment with him to top up her lifetime) and the rich who gamble with thousands of years, and the brutality of the systems enforcers, is all a powerful analogy of neoliberal capitalism and argument for socialism. Pity he didn't think more about the material himself before mocking the hero of the poor while he was still warm in his coffin...

Oh BK thinks actors are being real when they act!
Mar 19th, 2013 - 07:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BK, Timberlake was P.R.E.T.E.N.D.I.N.G. when he was in that movie.
You might also want to look at how wealthy the Chavez and Kirchner families have become in power. And how poor they have made their populations.
Both countries need a Timberlake movie character to come along methinks.
