The question we're all asking (or probably were last week - screw you mayfly zeitgeist!) is why is he called Phil and she's called Keira Knightley.
I know he's playing a character and it's loosely based on Love, Actually but she's called Juliet in that.

Admittedly, I'm not economist, but *we* decide this stuff, right? It's all made up. So why can't we just decide "fuck it, the world economy is going to be ace and everyone will have what they need."
