I think Moore will appreciate the publicity.

I think it would be better if we just ignored Michael Moore.

Awww man I thought this was going to be about Ice Cream and Cupcakes

I dont get it Moores films have never been commercially successfull yet the guy evidently still has gobs of money.

He has always been like the neighbors barking dog. You try to ignore it and hope it will stop but its annoying as hell. Just when you think its going to stop it starts up again yap yap yap.

How have his movies not been commercially successful? They are not block busters, but they also cost nothing to make compared to an entertainment film.

I have no problem with the guy, other than him billing his movies as "documentaries", infering they have some substance in fact.

There is a market for his brand of product. More power to him. If people are stupid enough to take information from him, or any other source, without checking out the facts themselves, then that is their own problem.

I remember that his books and movies where quite successful in Europe.

In my opinion, Michael Moores best appearance was as a suicide bomber in Team America..

Moore tells as much half truths and full lies as those he opposes, allways have thought him to be a ****.
