Albanians Love Bush('s Watch)
President Bush's recent visit to Albania was met with much fanfare, love, and ... petty theft. Bush wasn't met with any anti-American protests, but unfortunately he did run into a pickpocket who grabbed his watch during what appears to have been an otherwise warm reception.
Watch the video, and pay special attention around 0:55 -- you'll notice that his presumably expensive watch disappears into the throng. Yes, they love us. And our expensive watches.
Thanks, Adam.
UPDATE: According to Reuters, U.S. and Albanian officials deny that Bush "lost" his watch. Photographs show the President putting his hands behind his back so one of his five bodyguards can remove the watch. Okay, can we please see those photographs?

You're wrong. He took off the watch because he felt more comfortable that way. People take off their watches all the time before doing something. We love America period, it's the truth. Don't hate, appreciate.
