Hug the fuck outta them, Phillipe!

Attention H.U.G. S.Q.U.A.D: To work!

If I hada known that those babes were going over I woulda signed up!

From Mike's FAQ:
Q: "What cereal do you eat?"
A: "A combination of Post Raisin Bran and Start Smart from Kellogg's. (This is not a product endorsement. Both these cereals contain worms and anthrax and the chairmen of their companies live in North Korea and Tajikistan, respectively.)"

We've got a real philosopher, not to mention a true wit, to contend with here, folks. As if Blog doggers and blog loggers didn't tip us off to that fact.

He's got a clever editor, is all. This was the original answer:

Q: "What cereal do you eat?"
A: "I like to start the day off with 100 bowls of Corn Flakes, sprinkled generously atop a stack of flapjacks and pizzas. This gives me the vitamin content of one bowl of Total (this is not a product endorsement, not unless Total sends me some free product, dammit.)"

I kid, I kid. Everyone knows that Moore wakes up to a bowl of Nacho Cheese Doritos every morning.

What someone with skills needs to do is make Mikey's entries into short animated sketches or comics. I'm thinking something foul, like him on the couch with an open robe and the baseball cap eating Cap'n'Crunch straight out of the box and bitching up a storm (that's exactly what I pictured while reading the entry for some reason).

Typical Mike Moore. Engorges himself on the fruits of capitalism and then insults the corporation that provided it.

I'm envisioning a commercial where Mike is swimming in a ocean of milk, scooping up the breakfeast flakes in his rapacious maw like so much plankton, while his older brothers look on and cry, "He hates it! Hey, Mikey!"

>He's got a clever editor, is all.

I'm betting on Winston Smith. Watch and see how much Memory Hole action that blog's going to generate. Get ready to save those screenshots, people!

Uhhh, I don't see how anyone could consider a description of what Moore eats to be an endorsement, unless one is looking for a proven path to ending up grotesquely, morbidly overweight.

And incapable of telling the truth.

I wouldn't mind the $60 million his work of fiction has raked in so far, though. I wonder how he squares picking the pocket of Joe Lunchpail and Sally Housecoat with his world-view. Maybe he pays Sweden's UN bill for a year.

I find it incredible that he can still, seemingly without embarrassment, crap on about Saudi money influencing the flights out of the US after it has been thoroughly debunked. Has he no shame? Wait, don't answer that...

Anyone who has a blog without a comments section is a wuss.

Agreed, andjam. Without comments its not a blog its a column

Oh, great going. Let's start a pool to bet on how quickly one of the lefterator trolls pops in and goes AHA WHAT ABOUT INSTAPUNDIT I GOT YOU HA HA HA HA!

"Anyone who has a blog without a comments section is a wuss."

Or can't afford to hire a babysitter.

Anyway, Lyle's blog is my favorite. Until such time as Lie Bot starts one, that is.

As Mike went on to say...."So I immediately called up the studio and, sure enough, in just our second weekend, "F9/11" had shot past $50 million! Whoa! More than double what it was last Sunday! No wonder foam is coming out of these guys' mouths!"

So far, the count is at 55: Fahrenheit 9/11's Lies, Mistruths, and Exaggerations

"So I immediately called up the studio and, sure enough, in just our second weekend, 'F9/11' had shot past $50 million! Whoa! More than double what it was last Sunday! No wonder foam is coming out of these guys' mouths!"

How old is he? 50 or 12?

Hey he could put an entry into the New Blog Showcase once he has a good entry up...could be a wait...

Does it worry anyone else that Mike has a link to "The Onion" under the heading "Check out the real news..."? Of course, this probably explains quite a lot.

That has to be a made-up site. An Oscar winner could not be that stupid. Right? Right...?

I hope Mike goes on to write about how much his parents suck and how everyone at school sucks too and how he's bored and that N'Sync rock more than the Backstreet Boys.

"Yes, it's true, I'm on the cover of Time magazine this week. And Entertainment Weekly. Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue is next!!"

MM in a little Speedo? Ewwwww, grooosss!

Sincerity Falls, etc: thanks for the link to the site listing the Fahrenheit 9/11 lies and exaggerations. One which caught my attention:

``...as most of us are aware, parents cannot - are not allowed to - sign up their children to serve in the military. The only person signing on the dotted line is the one who's serving.''

Not only that, if they're under 18 when they enlist, a parent has to give signed permission. And Marine recruiters, at least, can't accept anyone who doesn't have a high school diploma or GED. So, while a parent can actually prevent a child from joining the military (at least before his or her 18th birthday) there's no way they can force them to do so.

A Liebot blog would be good, but a Todd blog would be better. Alas, Todd can't read

MONEY EQUALS TRUTH. BOW DOWN TO THE MIGHT OF F911'S BOX OFFICE BONANZA.

"A Liebot blog would be good, but a Todd blog would be better. Alas, Todd can't read"

That's never stopped _______________________!
