Ha ha ha. Wonderful. What a slug. This guy calls Americans stupid but he can't even keep healthy when he lives in huge mansions and has billions of dollars that he made from all his movies about how evil money is. Fat piece of shit!

Safe cities where he'll have a great time! The streets look so beautiful, especially at night. Wear a "Fuck Islam" T-Shirt.

If I told you that, I would have to kill you. Again.
