Hollywood actor Richard Gere, who based on his experience of appearing in movies is qualified to speak for the entire world on any topic at hand, filmed a commercial to encourage Egyptian citizens to exercise their right to vote in a sham election. He said "I am very encouraged to see Democracy spreading throughout Middle Eastern countries such as Palestine and Egypt."

In the commercial, which began airing on Monday, Richard Gere said "I am Richard Gere, and I am speaking for the entire world when I say that you should exercise your right to vote for Hosni Mubarak, or we can not assure the safety of your family members."
