Obama's blockbuster gift for Brown to reaffirm the 'special relationship': 25 DVDs

Gordon Brown has been given a collection of 25 classic American films on DVD as his official gift from Barack Obama.

The Prime Minister flew home from his successful trip to Washington this morning with the 'special collector's box' of films hidden in his luggage.

No 10 had tried to keep the present a secret, refusing to answer reporters who asked what President Obama had given to mark the reaffirmation of the special relationship.

I wonder if it was a collection of blaxploitation films like The Black Connection, Shaft, or Mandingo

UK has to feel a little miffed here.

I mean The Big O offered up Poland and our missile shield to Russia. Are we saying we like Russia more here??

What, the Hohenzollerns, Romanovs, and Hapsburgs are going to partition Poland. WTF is a missile shield...does it even work?

It did seem to work in testing. Too well actually, for the surrenderer-in-chief, it appears. ;)

Hey, at least it was a cheap gift. You know you'd be bitching if he spent a bunch on it.

I heard he only spent 1.4 million for them.

And, bought them from Rod Blagojevich's wife, who runs a DVD shop with Rahm Emanuel, however, the financing was provided by Tony Rezco.

The only catch is, Brown has to buy 12 more DVD's at $50 apiece within the next 12 months, or fork up $500 for the first 25.
