We are your overlords
This man is WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy, speaking at this week's World Trade Organization meeting in Hong Kong. While some might question the appointment of an individual who is the spitting image of Lex Luthor to head the controversial organization as it faces a rising global wave of criticism for being a non-elected world governing body that places multinational corporate profits before every other concern while crushing any and all who attempt to stand in the way of its insatiable planet-consuming avarice, WTO delegates were quick to point out that Mr. Lamy's Nosferatu-like good looks, engaging speaking style and emphatic "jazz hands" delivery more than offset any unfortunate comparisons to Superman's best-known nemesis.
He is shown here giving his keynote speech, entitled "Those who would resist us will be swept aside as chaff before the reaper's blade, and their blood will nourish the Seeds of a New Tomorrow: Emerging trends in international trade."
