Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Fair comment - but I wouldn't pretend that my skits have anything like the same kind of subtlety as a Michael Moore pisstake on an issue like this. Its pretty obvious that I'm just clowning around, certainly by the final paragraph anyway...and I'm not working to any particular agenda to discredit or embarrass anyone.London Irish said:The rightwing smear merchants are of course indulging in the humbug tactic of taking the humour and artistic licence bits of the film and pretending they are the serious parts that need to be "corrected" - bollocks, he's taking the piss out of the rightwing ghouls, and more power to him. A similar thing Easy would be some bore taking you to task for the "factual inaccuracies" in the skits you often write for NSC.
Moore, however, is toying with facts that can colour widespread opinion. Not everyone has such a questioning mind as the likes of your good self L I, or that inbuilt cynacism that is needed when reading a newspaper, listening to a politician, or watching a documentary. Michael Moores pisstaking and "artistic licence" is just adding to the plethora of bullshit and misinformation that is already out there. And while the likes of Blair and Bush have contrived their own agenda's to justify their war, that shouldn't give Michael Moore licence to do the same, just to peddle or pad out his own agenda.
By all means, discredit these people making the decisions. But stick to the facts, because the case for the prosecution can only be stronger for it. When it comes to this subject, I'd rather be bored by the cast iron truth, than get a cheap laugh from a lie.
