Justin Timberlake is patriotic, awesome

Everybody and their mom is lining up to talk about how cool Justin Timberlake is because he made good on his promise to escort Cpl. Kelsey De Santis to the Marine Corps Ball in Richmond, Virginia. We realize we're a little tardy to the party, but that doesn't mean that we at Somebody Thinks You're Fat ... don't believe that Justin deserves the big accolades he's getting. Quite the opposite. We think he deserves MORE!

That's why we're willing to leave our sassy pants in the drawer for a night and jump for the caboose railing of the "We love JT" train. Truly, there are no people who are more deserving of a celebrity dream date than the brave men and women who serve in our nation's military. The fact that Justin made this happen for Cpl. De Santis speaks volumes about his character ... character that, until recently, we were kind of unaware he had.

This is Justin's version of a Captain America costume.

After he attended the ball, Justin took to his Web site to pen a sincere message of gratitude for the opportunity to do so. He called the experience "moving" and thanked De Santis for being his hero.

Awww ... (wiping away tear)

Justin, for this stellar act of kindness, we at this blog hereby fully absolve you for the heinous crime of dating Cameron Diaz.

And while we're on the subject of Justin's awesomeness, we're always game to see this:

We would have gone with the classic "D$ck in a Box," but somebody apparently was a d$ck about the embed code.
