The unions are pissed

Michael Moore at the Washington premiere of Capitalism: A Love Story (9/29)

In this post about Michael Moore, I attempt to make as many food references as possible. Should be easy as pie! From the New York Post:

Michael Moore, champion of the working class, used non-union stagehands to film "Capitalism: A Love Story." The porcine provocateur is promoting his anti-Wall Street jeremiad by giving free tickets to unions, but the American Federation of Teachers has turned them down because Moore didn't hire any members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. "Michael Moore and one of our sister unions, IATSE, are in discussions about concerns the union has," the AFT told ABC News. "The AFT has decided against accepting tickets until those issues are resolved."

Sure when it comes to documentary films, Michael Moore is the big enchilada, but he's also a complete hypocrite. First he blasts the fat cats on Wall Street for being too greedy and money hungry (and really, they're just trying to provide for their families, to bring home the bacon if you will), and then he turns around and acts the same way by hiring non-union workers because they don't cost as much cheese. What's next, seeing him in a 24 Hour Fitness commercial? I bet Michael thought it'd be a piece of cake to butter up these unions, but now he has nothing but egg on his face. Sausage, sausage, sausage!

I didn't know they made shit that big...

retarded republican

Hey moore din't make a profit from wallstreet. It's the other way around. Based on how well his movies do means how well the stock of producers does, which means how much the investors recieve in return. That's a very simplified example. But moore is truly trying to stop crony capitalism. thats wut hes refering to

8 inches

My God. He looks like he's going to eat that microphone.

Lew

This PIG has made millions off of wallstreet! Hypocritical bastard!

JD

This fat clod is a total hypocrite. He became rich from capitalism and now blames capitalism for everything. People should ignore what he says. He's sick.

Ol' Hank

I just hope Michael Moore donates all of the profits from this film to some charity. After all, it is capitalism that enables Michael to make films and then make a profit by showing them in movie theatres to paying audiences. Hey, who needs capitalism when you are a hypocrite?
