Republicans: Send Michael Moore to Jail

hehehe.

If they promise me that they'll do this, I give the guys a 3-pack of new Fruit of the Loom underwear, and the women get a day's supply of Ramen noodles, the sustenance of slackers everywhere.

I then close by having them repeat the 2004 Slacker Oath: "Pick nose! Pick butt! Pick Kerry

I guess he has too much money from Fahrenheit 9/11. Why the hell is that dvd so expensive? $26bucks! He should have sold it for $9.99.

Yes i agree, but he is an entertaining crackpot.

He was also accused of illegally trying to affect the outcome of our election. Moore just knows how to keep his fat ass in the spotlight. I'd love to see him run for political office. Let's see if Moore has any answers, or if he just likes to hear his own voice.

I think after he's done with Bush hes going on the attack against fast food places. Like that supersizeme guy. Moore said the reason why he was so fat was because when he was poor 15 years ago all he could afford was junk food leading to his hugeness.

He is allowed to voice his opinion. The problem is, people take what he says as fact, becuase of his "Documentaries". Documentaries are supposed to be based on fact, no one person's perception of the "truth".

Is that true? Because if that is he is just an idiot. If I went on a strict budget I could cut my food down to around 5-10 dollars per day, at least, and I know the McDicks costs more than that if you had 3 meals a day.

All documentaries are biased toward the person who makes them...Undeniable fact.

Moore is not alone in what he does - he just does it on a more grandiose scale.

I worked in Florida for a year and their supervalue menu is pretty cheap. 2 doubleburgers and a milkshake for $3us. I was living in poverty too working for Disneyworld.

Funny thing i noticed was here in Calgary in safeway and coop there is generally 1 aisle for pop, chips and candy. In the US they have 3-4 aisles for junk food.
Word of advice: stay away from juji fruits. This has to be the worse candy ever to be made! Stupid seinfeld made me want to try when i got there. Thats 69cents i'll never get back.

Yeah that is just a stupid argument.

What's it cost (for a big fatty) to eat at Mcdonalds? Big Mac, fries, mcnuggets, vat of coke -- it's gotta be like 8 bucks. I guarantee I can make at least two healthy meals out of $8 if I go to the grocery store instead.

And if I was intent on burgers and fries, I could get the fixings for probably 5 burgers and a bag of McCain's for 8 bucks. Throw in a pack of kool-aid as an added treat.

In other words, this "I was poor, it was all I could afford" theory is a load of rich creamery butter.

Edit: Bertuzzied shot a couple holes in my theory as I was typing it but still, I live in Canada, so this is still rock-solid baby!

Of course the prices i mentioned were 4 years ago and i'm sure moore got fat alot earlier than that but overall prices for fast food in the US(well Florida) is alot cheaper than in Canada.

Does anyone live in the states now? what can you get from the supervalue menu?

I've been to the US a few times in the past couple years and the fast food there is dirt cheap. Much cheaper than the Canadian equivalents. You can definitely eat at McDick's or Wendy's or whereever and only spend $3 US. I don't know if their groceries are cheaper to the same magnitude as the fast food is, you'd have to figure that out to see if fast food is a cheaper option in the US than in Canada.

I'm getting worked!!

Okay so I was wrong. Are you all going to hold it against me forever? Can I just have some peace and quiet? I just want to live! To be! Is that so wrong?

Seriously though -- I had no idea it was that cheap. But at least now I have redi-made rebuttal at the ready in case some Canadian tubbo brings up the old "I was poor, I had to eat there" argument.

Oh yeah, and even if it is cheap, you'd still have to stuff it in your gaping maw to get to Moore's ballooned physique. No excuses for that kind of thing, IMO. Bananas are cheap too. Eat them once in a while instead of a whopper.

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Actually the more I think about it the worse that arguement becomes. So because McDonalds has cheap food prices (due to using the cheaper read: fattier foods) he is going to sue them. But if McDonalds used more expensive healthier foods he couldn't afford that because he was living on such a tight budget. So he is taking on McDicks because they have cheap food. Sure buddy.

And I suspose since he became richer that hell he still hasn't been able to get in shape and actually looks like he has gained weight. So wouldn't the problem likely be with him and his eating habits rather than fast food. God i hate the McFatties that complain about the food making them fat. No buddy the food isn't making you fat, you shoving it in your mouth 2 times a day makes you fat.

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Ok so a meal is 3 dollars at McDonalds in the States? Ok so the average person has three meals a day, and lets say he splurges every other day and has a chocolate bar or something like that.

Ok so three meals a day is 9 dollars. In one week that is $63
Now lets say he has some snacks in a week. That is $5 (that is being kind by the way)
After that there is likely some other food costs in the average week around $3-4 if you are really thrifty.

So Moore would wind up spending close to 70 dollars in a week if all he could eat was fast food. If you look at the cost of food I guarentee you that you can eat 3 nice healthy meals, and have some nice healthy snacks for a week if you spend $70. Especially when you consider that Moore would have lived below the poverty line 8 years ago or more, and the cost of groceries has gone up an incredible amount during that time (much more so that fast food). If you don't have the effort, yeah McDonalds or some fast food is an easy choice. But don't feed me some BS that it is all you could afford. I know people that were raising a family and had to buy their groceries at Liquidation Mart or some place like that, but they still put good healthy meals on the table. The only excuse he can really provide is laziness and well hell he can't sue himself, or can he.

Ummm it was me who suggested that he was going to sue the fast food companies. It was just a theory, not fact.( wow i sound like Bush)
hehe

I absolutely love how I managed to completely derail this topic by referring to Moore's "fat ass."

I gotta say, that supersize me movie has a unearned reputation for being an attack against the fast food industry. Mind you, that's a part of it, but the main point I got from it was that it was criticizing the American public that eat it 3 times a day as if it's healthy, claiming ignorance when they realize it's what's making them fat(like moore ), and don't get off their ass to exercize once in a while.

I can just picture what a Moore version of it would be.

It'd start off with some catchy classic rock song, with some stats showing on the screen about the obesity rates in Ethiopia, Sweden, Brazil....then the States. Then he'll bash the Republicans in office some how. He'll find some obese family that claims McDonalds ruined their life. The daughter and/or mother will sob about something

Then he'll go to his hometown of Flint Michigan and show how fast food destroyed the town. And he'll talk to some white trash types who blame fast food for destroying their life.

He'll find someone from the fast food industry to talk to, then will twist their words to make them look evil.

THen he'll perform some sort of publicity stunt.

[Looger]

mcdonald's is... a symptom of what's wrong with north america, the land of excess.

as for moore, he's the first democrat for a while to resort to the dirty tactics usually associated with republicans.
