Yep.. its all sad but true. Gotta love Michael Moore. But the fact that they really made Kmart stop selling bullest is pretty amazing.. inspiring.

No its not all true... you people are so guilable. Do some reasearch on the web, or in the news... half the shit moore filmed was staged, or set up to be filmed the way he wanted it to come across...
other times, he spliced audio, and or video together, and out of place, to get his message across, to make shit sound or appear like he wanted it... he took hestons speach totally out of context, by splicing sound how he wanted it...
read up on it, theres alot of material out there... in fact, there was a big uproar academy time, because most people felt it wasnt a true "documentary" but a mocumentary, because most of it was staged...

Hahaha... great post Cl1mh4224rd... and thats exactly the point. Sucks when what you say is taken out of context, and shown to mean something totally different.

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! :lol: Well said! hahahahahhah.... However to be fair every documentary has an underlying agenda. Of course he (and everyone else) is gonna skew things to suite their agenda. Just the fact that someone is asking if it's true is a step in understanding WTF is going on around them. Moore has alot of interesting insights and frustrations and this is how he does his thing. Personally I think he kicks serious ass. He proves that one lone fat normal dude can make things happen. Good lesson.

There's a difference between only showing the things you want to show to prove your point, and just totally making shit up to prove your point.
I don't follow Michael Moore, but I wouldn't be surprised if I agree with at least some of his views. Unfortunately, to me, he comes off as someone who eats nothing but sugar cubes and smokes crack like cigarettes... He needs to tone things down a lot.
