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!
Michael Moore at the Venice Film Festival (9/6)
I think a mistake has been made. WENN says this is Michael Moore at the premiere of his new film
Capitalism: A Love Story at the Venice Film Festival in Italy on Sunday. But I'm pretty sure the film's real title is
Calories: A Love Story. Right? Right?
UPDATE: Kind reader Dan just informed me that the film's title actually is
Capitalism: A Love Story. In the time it took you to read that last sentence, Michael Moore ate an entire pizza.
Haven't eaten in 17 minutes . . . must eat . . . must eat . . . must eatFamed overeater Michael Moore is being sued by
the owner of an all you-can-eat buffet a prize-winning journalist angry at the filmmaker's use of one of his photos in an anti-war rant on his website. From the
New York Post:
Last year, to illustrate one of his anti-administration bombasts, the portly polemicist posted on his michaelmoore.com Web site a heartbreaking photo from Iraq of an American soldier carrying the blood-spattered body of a child. The picture was snapped by acclaimed independent war correspondent Michael Yon, who has been very careful about how his images are distributed and goes out of his way to make sure they aren't used for demagogic diatribes. Yon - a Special Forces vet who posts regular dispatches from the front at michaelyon-online.com - is considered by many as the "Ernie Pyle of our time." The misappropriated photo shows US Army Maj. Mark Bieger cradling an Iraqi girl wounded by car-bomb shrapnel. She died a short time later.
Yon has tried to contact Moore for seven months to discuss his unauthorized use of the poignant snap, but hasn't heard a word back from the director of "Fahrenheit 9/11." Now, the fed-up photojournalist has told his lawyer to ready a lawsuit against Moore for copyright infringement.
"The implication on Moore's Web site was that our soldiers were somehow responsible for that kid being wounded," Yon's lawyer, John Mason, told Page Six. "That is absolutely not true. She was the victim of an insurgent's car bomb." Yon said: "I've never sued anyone in my life. It looks like Mr. Moore might be the first." Page Six e-mailed Moore for his response, but he didn't get back to us, either. (Source)
I hope this guy takes Michael Moore to the cleaners - literally. That
fat bastard looks like he stinks something awful. Michael probably
hasn't been able to respond to Yon's requests because he's been too
busy
exercising dieting single-handily
creating global grain shortages. If Yon really wants to get Michael's
attention, he won't send a lawyer to deliver the lawsuit, he'll send a
guy from Domino's. Get it?
Because he's fat.
