Moore's new flick
I love stupid people. They're endlessly entertaining.
Today, after watching trailer after trailer before a showing of PELHAM 123 in Los Angeles,a giant image of Michael Moore's head popped up on the screen. He began a heartfelt speech about being willing to give, to help out your fellow man. His charity? "Save the CEO's".
Everyone was laughing as a bunch of ushers in "Save the CEO's" teeshirts passed around coffee cups and asked for donations.
Now, I like Micheal Moore. And right now, a film from him that bashes CEO's would be right up my alley. And even if you hate him, you would get that this is a joke, right? Um...people actually GAVE MONEY!!! I'm not kidding. I actually heard some guy say, "Honey, grab my wallet". Sigh.
The joke was repeated in four cities around the country. No word on how much dough they made.
By the way, I asked. The take is going to a local food bank.

Funny stuff. Again I marvel; the entire country hates Wall Street right now, but they still bash Michael Moore for saying so. Astonishing.

As far as I'm concerned, the actual subjects of Moore's documentaries (aka CEOs) are a million times worse than he could ever be. I truly don't understand why people hate Michael Moore, I really don't.
I think it has a lot to do with incessant Fox News/Talk Radio propaganda myself - what do you expect with the constant drumbeat of "so and so is an America hating commie who loves homosexuals and illegals & hates the troops! - oh and he's really fat too!"? *sigh

Sicko and Roger and Me were both excellent flicks. I look forward to Moore's next.

Try this for controversy: for how greedy CEOs of companies are and how public this has become, there are plenty of CEOs who run businesses effectively. Also, simple logic: if you don't bail out or support the big businesses, the middle class will lose jobs. This may shock you, but not all CEOs are the same. Also, if you raise taxes on businesses, even the smaller ones will be affected. I don't agree with a lot of the CEOs public display, but not every rich person acts that way. If businesses collapse, jobs are loss. It's a chain reaction. Besides that, how would most of you act with a lot of money? I'd be willing to think you'd feel differently.

Why is he trying to convert America into every other country in the world with his "mockumentaries"? I understand he is supposes himself to be well intentioned (hell I think the banks are full of crap too) but he goes about it in the worst way. America should always stand apart. It was founded that way it should stay that way.
PS. I was raised in Canada and I'm still saying this.

Also, its really depressing to hear that some people were actually stupid enough to donate money, I guess all they need to hear is 'help our fellow Americans'. I love the States...but I'm glad I don't live there.
