Fahrenheit 9/11

Posted on May 23, 2004 by lucia

In a curious side-note to this year’s political and artistic riggamarole, the jury at the Cannes Film Festival has awarded the Palme d’Or to Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11. I’m curious to see what sort of comment and criticism this receives.

    Here’s a pre-emptive summary paraphrase of all the indignant reactions from Right-wingers who have not seen, and probably never will see, the film:

    blah blah blah Bush-hatred blah blah blah the French blah blah blah gruesomely tasteless World War II jokes

    You forgot “blah blah blah fat blah blah blah rich blah blah blah.”

    Then, the lefties are partial to the ‘fat’ one when it comes to Rush Limbaugh as well.

    ::looks down at soapbox::

    Oh my! How did I get up here?

    Right. Well, as you were, then. Carry on.

    Nope, Rush isn’t fat anymore, but he is hooked on the hillbilly heroin (OxyContin)…

    Here’s some useful info about the anti-Fahrenheit 9/11 campaign group ‘Move America Forward’ (MAF). The one that’s been pressurising movie theaters not to show the film. Turns out, it’s nothing more than a front for a GOP-linked public relations firm, Russo Marsh and Rogers. Yet for some inexplicable reason, the fact that RM+R set up MAF is not mentioned anywhere on the MAF website…

    Furthermore, this firm made 2.5 million dollars from GOP politicians in 2001/2002. And nothing from Democrat politicians. What a surprise.
