George Clooney Was Held At Gunpoint

It's hard to imagine there are people that don't know who George Clooney is. Turns out he isn't the same superstar in Sudan as he is here. He feared for his life during a recent trip there with the United Nations, and was held at gunpoint and robbed by child soldiers. Sounds like one of his movies, but this really happened. He was there as a messenger of peace of all things to focus on the plight of the region's refugees for ten days. And his trip started out by getting stopped at checkpoints by machine gun-wielding adolescents who took aim at George and his entourage before stealing anything of value from his vehicle.

"It was in southern Sudan and as we were going through checkpoints, there were all these young kids with AK47's. They went through the car and just took what they wanted. We hid all the tapes and stuff, but they pointed guns at us and stole what they could. It happens all the time. They obviously didn't know who we were. They don't have great TV out there."

It's hard to imagine anyone would go after George. He's such a great guy, and he was there to do such important work. Hopefully the soldiers will know who is for next time. Either that or Sarah Larson needs to put a lock down on her man!

Why is he talking about this now?? Why not last year when this happen? Why--because Leatherhead was a FLOP and now his fans are finding out that his gal pal is an attention whore/slut. And to the blogger BRIAN(posted at 4/5/2008 @10:39) Let me commend this low class clown that's too priceless to ignore who's very insecure in his own body because he not able to understand why blacks and jews have overcame. They call someone like him back in the south poor dumb trash that loves to spread hate.

Wow, any more racists out there?! Come on, don't be shy... Stupid facist inbreds. This is why citizens need firearms, so when the time comes, we can beat back the facists and the uber-liberals. Oh yeah; George? Yer an idiot and a hypocrite.

Gee, that anti-2nd amendment hack George Clooney was robbed at gunpoint. What irony! Too bad so many in the media feed Clooney's ego and stroke him like he's the best thing since Olivier.

Are we supposed to believe that Clooney was robbed because the kaffirs didn't know who he was?

Too bad for George Clooney. As a Jewess in the US, I would like to remind everyone that criminals are stopped by FIREARMS, not by talk. And, that America wasn't won with a registered gun! That is why all REAL Americans put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!

Clooney must have a memory problem. He never went to Darfur in 2006, he went to refugee camps in eastern Chad. And in his recent trip he never even went to south Sudan so not sure how he could've been held up there by child soldiers. How can we trust anything this man says?

9:40AM 04/07/08 Too Bad

“They obviously didn't know who we were.” That’s really too bad. How cool would it be for Ali Mondoia to be able to say: “I have the head of a GREAT American actor, decorating the hood of my Jeep!” (Hey! It’s Africa, they don’t know that George isn’t really much of an actor.)

HAH! Gotta love it, dont ya!!

Its hard for me to believe that hollywood reporters are so lacking in global perspective that they are surprised that people in the third world don't know who George Clooney is. What idiotic reporter wrote this garbage; does he have any idea what it is like to live in a third world nation. Just maybe the hollywood hype machine needs to pull its head out of its ass and admit that in the grand scale of global history, Clooney is a nobody. I don't agree with any of the racist comments here, but I have to admit the author deserves it for his obvious stupidity.

Typical niggers; biting the hand that feeds them.

9:48PM 04/05/08 Jakemeister

this is the same country where they wanted to behead the teacher cause she let her class name a teddy bear Muhammed. That country is as bad as it was under the Mahdi.

When will the bleeding heart liberals learn that some people are just beyond help? If only we didn't send so much "humanitarian" aid to the starving Africans there would be less children mercenaries.

10:51AM 04/05/08 Wim Kotze

You may not know it, but there is a world outside Hollywood. So just tell us, who are you?

10:39AM 04/05/08 brian

Dumbass nigger lover.Now he will see the light that is the people with light skin have no reason to have these monkeys around us. We can think the jews for force feeding these problems on us as usual.

Yeah George, if they knew who you were they would have kidnapped your sorry self for a ten million dollar ransom.

4:06AM 04/05/08 NEWP

"They obviously didn't know who we were." Thats classic you dumb fuck, I don't think they care who you, think you are. Stick to memorizing scripts you self serving prick.

10:47PM 04/04/08 Bob

He's wasting jet fuel. He should move to Philadelphia - I hear they're killing passengers and beating women there in mobs of 15 on the metro now. These things always bring the liberal apologists out of the woodwork, walking the PC line and ignoring the obvious.

All of these white Hollywood weirdoes that hate their own race should go to Afreaka and die with their darkies.

12:02AM 04/04/08 Mike

too bad they didnt shoot his dumb ass. Africa is a shit hole and nobody can save it, now while black animals live there. wake up Clooney! LOL

11:42AM 04/04/08 14/88

what do you expect? these are primates... they're primitive beings that are not worth the dirt they walk on. it's time to step up and take hold of our future!!! 14/88

9:52AM 04/04/08 George Rockwell

I agree, Africans are subhumans.

9:28AM 04/04/08 Laugh at George

Imagine that!! Another Hollyweird Dogooder with an ego larger than Daffy Duck getting held up in Africa. They obviously didn't know who you were George, yeah thats it you egomaniac. Too bad, we almost had us a Darwin award for early 2008.

7:19AM 04/04/08 CM

LOL, I love it, Clooney gets robbed by the same untermensch he sought to help. Too bad they didn't murder him, tat would have been the best thing Clooney could have done to serve human beings, i.e. showed them that Africans are savages.
