are they trying to be seen as tuff guys or something?
what rock have you been hiding under? they've been blustering like this for decades.
the only thing that's really changed is them pursuing nuclear weapons tech recently.

They've been going after it for a long time. The only difference is we finally stopped being able to bribe them to stop, and then they figured it out.
What the heck is going on? I was told that there was a trailer for the new Michael Moore documentary that would be attached to showings of Taking of Pelham 123 this weekend. It'll be online in a few hours, but not all audiences will see it. SlashFilm has a report of a showing in Washington DC that had a message from Moore. Apparently signs saying that they were being recorded were plastered all over. Instead of a trailer with footage, Moore appeared on the screen and asked the audience to give their money to "needy banks and corporations." Ushers then entered the theater with buckets literally asking for money from the audience.
Yes this actually happened. Here is the full message from Moore that played before the ushers came in.
"Hi, I'm Michael Moore. Instead of using this time to tell you about my new movie I'd like to take a moment and ask you to join me in helping our fellow Americans. The downturn in the economy has hurt many people, people who have had no choice but to go on government assistance. Yet our welfare agencies can only do so much. That's why I'm asking you to reach into your pockets right now and lend a hand. Ushers will be coming down the aisles to collect your donations for Citibank, Bank of America, AIG, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and a host of other needy banks and corporations. Won't you please give generously? Now, I know what you're thinking - I already gave at the bailout. And I know you did, but even if you've given in the past, give some more. It will make you feel… good."
If you don't believe it, you can actually hear an audio recording of the message over on SlashFilm. In my post about his new documentary a few weeks ago, I joked, "it's ironic that Moore is asking people to spend money to see a movie that's about our lack of money." Now it's barely a joke after all. I have a feeling Moore is recording this and going to include it in the documentary (which is due out on October 2nd). He may even take the money he collects and present it to those companies and film their reaction. I don't know if this is viral marketing or just one of Moore's sneaky new documentary techniques - but it's pretty damn crazy.
I have stared into Satan's asshole, and it fucking winked at me.

Yes, exactly what I want when I go see an action movie. Some fuck with his hat out begging for my wallet, which was emptied by the fucking ridiculously expensive movie. YAY.

Man, you know what? North Korea is a place where people can't enjoy simple shit. Laying in bed for a few minutes after you wake up with the covers all snug just enjoying the warmth and shit. Standing on your back porch drinking coffee in the morning listening to birds chirp. Going to a diner late at night with your friends and talking to your favorite waitress for like an hour.

Speaking the truth, Xhero. Good call on that one. We should try to fix it so everyone can do that kinda stuff. Let's make some calls.
