Well, i'm not very surprised.

I still like Michael Moore, however. I like him as a person, because he reminds me of a thinner version of me. But seriously, i'll go to see it. I just think he's an ok guy, and i like that he says what he thinks and doesnt mence words. I can respect that.

But, no, i'm not surprised it was a stunt. Us overweight, four-eyed, bombastic types are want to do stuff like that

Love him or loath him, you have to admire how far he will go to pimp his film and line his wallet with a few more bucks, even at the expense of whatever credibility he previously had.

Well, looks like we've found the red herring that will inundate this forum after the film's release.

I was scared then, I thought you were phongn then given the avatar is the same he has on SB.com.

And yes, Moore has just lost more points in my mind. It's all very well being controversial and going against the flow, but there is a point where outandish stunts like this negate any respect formerly created.

The guy's a fucking assclown, but once again he proves that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

What can he possibly say in this "Farenheit 911" book that hasn't already been said by, say, Woodward?

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2004-05-06 08:23pm

You know, after this, instead of taking away his stolen Oscar for BFC, they should just shove it up his ass and snap it off at the knees... It's honestly what he deserves besides Disney suing the living shit out of him.

Funny, he goes on and on about commercial "stunts", yet he does this.

I've never read one, but Woodward books are said to be "some assembly required" books- Moore will probably take all sorts of things merely implied by others and say them explicitly.

Oh for Christ's sake!

You guys are acting like he shot someone, he fucked over Disney, who really cares. I'll still support the movie, and i think many others will too. And Disney should be glad they have him around to make hundred million dollar grossing movies when Pixar gavd them the finger and told them to not let the door hit them on their way out.

And anyway, i notice no one has ever thought perhaps Disney was involved in thsi as well. I mean, if it makes any money at all, they'll be making the lion's share. You catch my drift?

Well, i dont. He's loud and bombastic, but i agree with many of his views. I think he gets a raw deal from people, the same as John Kerry. That's why i'm seeing Moore's film, and thats why i'm voting for Kerry.

He spends 90% of his time going on about people deceiving the public for votes/money.

AHh the hypocrisy of the Fat man....

Michael Moore Outsourcing Jobs Despite Criticism
By Jimmy Moore
Talon News
April 23, 2004

Liberal Hollywood film producer Michael Moore, who has been an outspoken critic of President George W. Bush and his policies since he was first elected in 2000, is in hot water over outsourcing his web site design and servers to non-American companies.

Moore, who has championed the cause of keeping American jobs within the borders of the United States during the recent debate over outsourcing, has himself granted a company named PLANK the job of developing and designing the look and operation of Moore's web site.

Despite his vehement objections to outsourcing American jobs, Moore still hired the Montreal-based company to create his web site.

In addition, the web host server for Moore's web site is also Canadian-owned by Webcore Labs, whose home office is located in Calgary, Alberta.

Appearing at this year's Cannes Film Festival with his film Farenheit 9/11, which alleges that the Bush administration orchestrated the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 with Usama bin Laden, Moore is expected to continue bashing Bush and his policies on outsourcing, among others.

Moore did not respond to messages regarding this story

How is he getting the raw deal for making slanderous and libelous statements about Disney?

Has anyone actually seen the source text of Michael Moore's accusations? Everywhere I look, I read articles citing interpretations of his comments, rather than the full text of his comments. Where can you find the full text of his accusations?
