Michael Moore's Awful Truth Support Apolyton

Well.. I've now checked out pretty much all his materials. I know this fellow has been debated here a lot, but I'd like to bring out the tv-series of his. Never mind the shockumentaries, though made with quality and thought, it had some methods that I believe is not part of real documentary making that is unbiased.

So, that's not the issue, what do you think of this tv show? Personally, I think it's pretty good. It's more moderate IMO, and it certainly does bring good things, at least some of them are pretty good to bring out and show what's going on. Plus I think it's more correct than biased in this series.

My favourites include the sodomobile, which they took all around the states that made gay things illegal. Then they saw that priest fellow who is super anti-gay, Phelps or something like that, you know who I'm talking about and they battled.. that was pretty good.

Also the Disney episode was pretty good, for the workers that is, I think it's not a surprise that they manufacture stuff in Asia, but the conditions of the workers in the US were not ok..

But the one where they put their teeth on UPS and they had that funny character going after them, Sal something, like a fat Italian guy in a suit, with the accent and attitude . It was so funny.. So what do you think about these?

The one where he entered a pot plant into an election was good. Especially when the pot plant won.

Great reality-based humour with a sick twist. Like when he announced a national championship in excecutions, which was basically a fight between the Bush brothers in texas and Florida. Then he came with a chairleader team and marching band to show off among the demonstrators outside an excecution prison.

Or when he encountered a British manager at the hotel that had reported hispanic maids to the immigration autorities because they had tried to start a union and found out the Brit had no green card.

I've only seen one or two shows. Really liked when he started a wallet exchange program for blacks. It turned out that many a black man had been shot as police officers had thought the wallets in their hands where a gun. The people could exchange their dark wallets with organe ones that was easier to see.

sounds like bullshit to me.

Why would black men go around with their wallets in their hands? No one walks around the street with their wallet in their hands. Their wallet is in their pockets.

More bullshit from Moore about how all the black men are being killed by cops even though they are innocent.

Just a guess, but it'd probably be while they where geting their wallet out to show the cop their license or ID.

That's one of those things that is trademark for the show.. cruel jokes. But they are kind of funny though, even if you don't particulary like the guy. At leat I found myself laughing many times.

So all black dudes should watch out about removing/ handling black wallets in the presence of police, or they'll get shot 41 times like that dude in New York.

how about looking at it from the perspective of the police officer. How many of them get shot when people pull out a gun in the waistband of their pants in the small of their back?

oh I get it. the life of the poor oppressed black man is more important than that of a police officer.

They shot his ass 41 times!!

And besides, there's plenty of instances where cops shoot clearly unarmed blacks with little or no justification. The Feds are investigating the Detroit cops for just this reason. In one instance, they shot down a deaf man who was wielding...uh, oh, ...a garden rake
