I have recently detected a surprising resemblance between the president of Iran, and two notable movie stars. The two young Hollywood meat-cakes are commonly known as Jake Gyllenhall (of Donnie Darko, Jarhead and Brokeback Mountain fame), and Ryan Gosling, who was in that one movie about the history teacher on drugs. The president of Iran is best known for being the 6th president of Iran, and for being the latest excuse for the US to get all war-mongery on our asses.

It is clear that Mr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is taking fashion and grooming cues from his Western counterparts. Image savvy is very helpful when you’re the president of a country, because I hear you have to be on TV a bunch.

If anybody starts talking to you about invading Iran, please calmly explain that Iran poses no threat, that it might be kind of deceitful, and that besides, why interrupt a leader who is busy being that handsome?

I then subsequently discovered that this co-relation has already been unearthed by The Frank Report. Well, I’ll be. Anyhoo, here’s Noah the Suicidal 40-Year-Old Boss Virgin, looking more ready than ever to lead a conflicted Middle Eastern nation:
