Cannes' Palme d'Or goes to Michael Moore

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wonder-when-we'll-get-to-see-this-movie dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Palme d'Or of the Festival de Cannes was presented this year by Charlize Theron to Fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore. I don't know if it's the first time this prize is awarded to a documentary, but I guess it's rare enough to be mentioned, especially given the problems this film encounters."

    Last time Charlize Theron presented me with something it was a restraining order.

    Finally we know step #2 of the formula:

    1. Steal underpants.
    2. Paint anti-bush slogan on underpants, sell to Hollywood/Indie industry.
    3. Profit!

    Yeah, I know what you mean...

    Guns are good. The more, and the bigger, the better.

    Corporate dominance of the working class is good, more is better. Besides, one day, I'll be rich too, so screw 'em!

    Invasion of other nations (the biggest guns under corporate dominance) is the ultimate expression of what America is all about.

    How dare anyone attempt to question any of this, let alone try to allow access to another's opinion?
    Moore must be lying anyway, because he's kind of fat and sloppy.

    Me? I'm embracing my inner reptile.

    I believe everything the neocon media feeds me without question. It's so much easier that way.
    Go team Bush! Go USA!

    Excuse the Unicode crap in my posts. That's an apostrophe, and slashdot is busted.

    if he really knows how to fix things and knows what would be best for the country, why doesn't he try running for the White House himself?


    That's right, citizens! If you aren't able and willing to quit your life-long chosen career and devote the next 20-30 years to building up political capital for a presidential run, you have NO RIGHT TO CRITICIZE OUR DEAR LEADER BUSH! So shut up, pay your taxes, vote the way we tell you to vote, and let Dubya's grand vision for world peace, democracy, and unlimited oil unfold!

    I don't care if it's 90,000 hectares. That lake was not my doing.

    Moore's prominent presence in the news brings to light some serious questions, such as 'Can't he at least try to look presentable?
