Yeek. My prayers are with Hashem. That takes some serious nerve.

Would it be mean to wish the situations above, were reversed? Since Mikey is so determined to make even more millions for himself by distributing a movie that Disney warned all along would not be distributed - surely that's a life or death situation for him, right?

After all, he claims to speak for the poor, and what could demonstrate his solidarity with them than a stint on death row while the fate of his movie gets decided?

If the situations were switched, Hashem would then face no more pressing dilemma than what clothing he wants to pack for the Cannes Film Festival...

Hey Mike ,
Censorship is a government function. Your "struggles" and "difficulties" are heartwrenching. Maybe you can self-produce your piece of "art" in a more enlightened country such as Cuba or North Korea. Their leaders don't seem to mind satirical pieces of art like yours or whimsical practices of those fun-loving librarians or wacky families .

Sorry for the duplicate link. You can find out the North Korean version of Disneyworld here .

That he is free to cobble together such a hodge-podge of leftist agitation, half-truths and outright lies into a cohesive smear; the only true purpose of which is to besmirch the reputation of President Bush and his family is - I think - sufficient evidence in of itself that Mike doesn't yet know what big words like oppression and censorship really mean.

I read this:

The whole story behind this (and other attempts) to kill our movie will be told in more detail as the days and weeks go on. For nearly a year, this struggle has been a lesson in just how difficult it is in this country to create a piece of art that might upset those in charge.

And consider the irony considering the problems the director / producer of Michael Moore Hates America is having getting Mr. Moore to sit down for an interview and getting his film finished and distributed.

Fat boy wouldn't know art if he stumbled over it, dusted it off and ate it.

If Moore is having so much trouble finding someone to produce his movie, why doesn't he produce it himself? Mel Gibson did just that with _The Passion of the Christ_ (another "piece of art that just might upset those in charge"--those in charge in Hollywood, that is).

Or maybe Fat-Boy knows his movie will be a box-office turkey, and he doesn't want to get stuck with the bill. What a shame--he has such a vitally important message (sarcasm mode off), but no-one will hear it because he won't put his money where his mouth is.

What movie is he trying to produce? How I Made An Ass Of Myself and Learned To Hate The World?

Hey, Rebecca! He could get that one financed. I'd pony up a few bucks, as I'm sure would others, assuming the title actually reflected the content.

The film is called Moore for Moor's. In recognition of Spain's recent capitulation.

In some ways they are alike. Ahagjari has stones the size of Texas. Mike has a swollen liver the size of a building in Texas.

My god, I admire this man's courage.

Moore's idea of martyrdom starts at being denied the 12th doughnut.

hey Rob Read,

it's really "Moore for Moops" It's Moops I say!

(seinfeld reference)

Michael Moore = Bubbleboy

On the other hand, I am happy that Moore was able to smuggle himself and his latest production out of the North Dakota Gulag and both will be appearing to the usual froggy crowd in Cannes.

In this case, Art truly being a relative term.

Piece of Art? Piece of ________. (Your favorite descriptive adjective here.)

The reaction from the Brigade of leftoid peace lovers - except when it comes to dmeonstrations in the city, Amerikka is Evil and Islamo-fascists are really nice guys, and birkah wearers like Hutcheons, Chirsitianty is polpotian communism clerics, we are all one U.N.ers, is silence.

This is all just a great big publicity stunt. And, Fat Boy is laughing all the way to the bank.
