They shouldn't have handcuffed his Dad.

Sounds like he might be a decent chap despite the Nespresso/Nestle adverts.

oh George (wistful sigh)

One of his best looks was him coming out of prison in oceans eleven wearing his tux

He never seems to take any of his lady friends on these jaunts so I think it is strictly father/son activity. I did not spend quite a long time thinking about being in the back of a Police van with George, oh no I didn't.

Oh God MrsTerryPratchett I will be completely unable to think of anything other than being in the back of a police van with His Georgeness now. That's this weekend wasted....

I love him now, what a hero. How disgraceful to arrest him for a peaceful protest though..

Ponyofdoom he wanted to be arrested. Look how the news has picked it up. The same week, he met with Obama over this and not a peep. Slap some handcuffs on him and he's all over the news.

Do you realise that by going on and on about how sexy he is and 'handcuffs' and stuff you are all belittling the important work he is doing and sabotaging the important political message his trying to get across! Its not a Holloywood film, he actually really did get arrested.

George Cloony is so very gay I just can't lust after him. But HURRAH for George.

I don't think we are devaluing his work. I have banged on and on about Sudan and simultaneously fancy George Clooney. Young people don't get involved enough in politics and issues generally. One of the reasons is because it is not 'sexy'. Paris Hilton don't care, I don't care. George knows that his being an attractive film star is WHY he is useful to this cause. His father is the knowledgeable, committed one and George comes with him to raise awareness. Same reason Angelina works for the UN and so on.

I spent my entire childhood and teenage years talking to whoever would listen about Third World debt. Bloody Bono starts and it is immediately an important issue. However am I glad a bad musician got involved? Yes! Because now more people care.

He is not a nice man at all - trust me on that. I have a very personal reason for hating the man. However, I do commend his work in Africa - even I can't criticise that.
