MORE MOORE

Gotta love this guy and the controversy he generates. He is a one-man media beacon, that's for sure, in other words, a "heat seeker" (and I don't mean missile)

From The Sydney Morning Herald:

"Conspiracy theorists are, of course, fringe dwellers, but they serve a purpose, pushing the boundaries of cynicism, feeding into the anti-West infotainment industry personified by the obese American filmmaker Michael Moore."

From Slate

"To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious. Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of "dissenting" bravery."

And from The Onion

"Michael Moore Kicking Self For Not Filming Last 600 Trips To McDonald's"
