Michael Moore loves 'Capitalism'

Michaelmoore_290 Michael Moore's new documentary finally has a title.

The latest, due out Oct. 2, will be called "Capitalism: A Love Story." If you know Moore, you know that should be read with a heapin' helpin' of sarcasm.

That's apt, considering this movie's focus will be the recent U.S. economic collapse.

"It will be the perfect date movie," Moore said in a statement. "It's got it all -- lust, passion, romance and 14,000 jobs being eliminated every day. It's a forbidden love, one that dare not speak its name. Heck, let's just say it: It's Capitalism."

Moore has often taken on the role of social agitator in his documentaries, including "Sicko" (about the health-care system), "Fahrenheit 9/11" (examining the rush to war) and "Roger & Me" (which presciently skewered bad business practices at GM).

There is a good movie about the economy called: Stock Shock-The Short Selling of the American Dream. Funny and tragic at the same time! StockShockMovie.com Why does Stock Shock have over 26,000 followers on twitter-and Michael only 12,000?!


love Michael Moore. ppl try to marginalize him, but i think he gives a voice to the issues of our times and that he will ultimately go down as an american hero.

you go Michael!


Michael Moore wants to tax multi-millionaires to the point where universal health care can be offered to the poor m***es for free, even if this means no more rich people, period.

Fine.

Anyone remember when the owner of the anti-Moore site, Moorewatch, was almost forced to shut it down due to - ironically enough - an expensive medical emergency, but Mike donated a few grand to the cause and life went on? (The site is still up, but comatose.)

I, too, am over way my head in medical debt through no fault of my own, and repeatedly tried to contact multi-millionaire Michael Moore to see if he would reprise his paradigm of the rich (regardless of race, creed, color, political affiliation) giving to the poor (regardless of their race, creed, color, political affiliation) with no strings attached.

Nothing. So I asked said site owner if he could perhaps reach out, but he, too, basically told me to "get f-cked, a--hole."

It may be too late for many of the sick and disabled to wait for President Obama, whom Michael campaigned and likely voted for, to confiscate Michael Moore's upcoming "Captialism" payday, much less distribute it fairly. It seems the m***es need to remind Michael of this serious problem, ask him to remember his roots and convictions by donating, again, freely, now. Not if and when the film does okay.
