michael moore is a tremendous shitlizard who decided that ambushing dick clark would make for better footage than actually addressing how shitty we treat people
so
I don't disagree that Michael Moore is pretty slimy, but I think using Dick Clark to get a point across is not necessarily a bad idea. He just kind of went nowhere with it.
Dick Clark was, as far as I know, a genuinely nice person who loved what he did.
Well there was that whole incident in Bowling for Columbine that made him look a little uncaring, but he did get ambushed by Michael Moore so I can't say I blame him too much.
Uhhh, you're thinking of the wrong guy, guy.
Not sure if this is what he's referring to but:
Clark was featured in the 2002 documentary film Bowling for Columbine. He was criticized for hiring poor, unwed mothers to work long hours in his chain of restaurants for little pay. The mother in particular works over 80 hours per week and is unable to make rent and gets evicted which results in her having her son stay at his uncle's house. At his uncle's house the boy finds a gun and brings it to school where he shoots another first grader. In the documentary footage featuring Clark, Michael Moore tries to approach him to inform him of the welfare policies that allow for these conditions, and questions him about the people he employs and the tax breaks he takes advantage of, in employing welfare recipients; Clark refuses to answer any of Moore's questions, shutting the car door and driving away.
I'd tell Moore to piss off if he wanted to ask me questions too.
uhhh it was the state of Michigan that began that Welfare to Work program and forced his chain of restaurants to hire those workers.
Clark literally had nothing to do with it.
I don't think we really need to go into debate on this topic here, but it wasn't a forced thing it was a tax break thing.
I know this is going to sound awful, but it got really hard to watch Dick Clark do the Rockin' New Years Eve. It looked like it just took so much out of him to do, and I'm sure he insisted and wasn't just tossed out there by the network execs, but it was kind of a buzzkill at a party.

Oh shit, really? Man, I completely forgot that part of the movie.

And then do nothing with it, because this is a nothing idea.
ridiculous
we have to be the first one to make our worthless and irrelevant point
Might have been your motivation.
I was just trying to make sure we properly pissed on a man's grave, myself.
I suspect foul play. Only Seacrest could figure out how to kill Dick Clark before he regenerated.
