Go find a real job!

Fahrenheit 911, Michael Moore's new film has won the Palme D'Or in Cannes. Which was inevitable really...it being France and all.

Judging from some of the initial reactions, it's gonna be a helluva lot better than "Bowling". I'm sure it won't be long until some right-wing websites have picked it over and found 1 or 2 small mistakes, but luckily this time, Moore seems to have had the sense to leave himself mostly off camera and just let the footage do the talking. Like GWB telling him to go get a real job.

Apparently, the movie documents the last 4 years of American politics (before and after 11/9/01), concentrating on the Bush family's ties with the Bin Ladens. It has a go at the Patriot act as well as footage of prisoner mistreatment from Moore's own embedded reporters.

Sounds great...now, if only Disney would let us watch the fucking thing.
