[pic=C3PO from Star Wars]090413_c3po.jpg[/pic]In an article written by Australia's The Age Entertainment, Mike Dirnt has officially endorsed C-3PO as Prime Minister of Australia in the country's upcoming election.

C-3PO is a character from the (fantastic) movie series, Star Wars. Australia's federal election is this coming Saturday and there is a tight race between two candidates, who are both human. Mike wanted to throw a Droid in the mix, just to spice things up.

I would be into marking the ballot paper with your favorite Star Wars character – even if it's not a good guy. [C3PO]'s pretty diplomatic, he speaks 600 languages, he doesn't like violence, he's got the look – he's all gold and shit, y'know.

The full interview with Mike can be read over on The Age's website.

On another note, Mike has pretty much confirmed that Green Day will be taking a break this fall and winter:

We are going to take some small breaks so we don't kill ourselves."

Green Day is headline the Soundwave Festival this February and March in Australia.
