A little bit weird, a little bit political with a lot of humor.
Michael Moore gets doubly burned!
Published on September 8, 2004 By historyishere In Politics
The following question was asked today on the Internet Movie Database:

We're resurrecting one of our favorite polls from last year: You're making the road trip back to college. Which summer movie character do you least want calling "shotgun"?

These were the choices

Hitman Vincent (Collateral)
Senator Eleanor Shaw (The Manchurian Candidate)
Noah Percy, Village Idiot (The Village)
Handsy Doc Ock (Spider-Man 2)
Misfit Napoleon Dynamite (Napoleon Dynamite)
Shapeshifting Professor Lupin (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)
Feline-friendly Patience Phillips (Catwoman)
Anchorman Ron Burgundy (Anchorman)
Count Vladislaus Dracula (Van Helsing)
Put-upon heroine Sam (A Cinderella Story)
Immigrant Viktor Navorski (The Terminal)
"Heiresses" the Wilson Sisters (White Chicks)
Documentarian Michael Moore (Fahrenheit 9/11)
Self-absorbed Bud Clay (The Brown Bunny)
Alien
Predator
Garfield
Other

A total of 4443 votes were collected at the time I am writing this entry... and 25.7% of people chose Michael Moore as the "character" they'd least like to take a road trip with. That's a double burn! I mean, Alien was second with 12.6%... so basically, more people would rather travel on the road with an acid spewing alien than a fat guy with a movie camera. That is saying a lot!

I'd have to say Noah Percy, if anyone saw The Village (yet another M. Night spectacle) you know what I mean...

Well you know how you are supposed to respect acid spewing alien rights now a days, plus Michael Moore might make it a conspiracy into your oppression of who knows what because you didn't give him YOUR twinkie.

*shudders* I can picture him with his fat stinky feet up on the dash board, cramming cheetos in his mouth between words, as he blabs on and on and on and on and on, taking breaks only to sniff his pits to see if he's "ripe" yet. Blech.

No road trip for you, Michael Moore!

I have a new movie idea....instead of Godzilla vs. Mothra, the movie is two hours of Roger Ebert and Michael Moore fighting it out over a box of Krispy Kremes.

My money's on Michael, he looks like he doesn't fight fair.

I think I'd rather see Survivor with the above along with Louie Anderson, John Madden, John Pinette, Star Jones, Monique, Shelley Winters, John Goodman, Jim Belushi, Michael Clark Duncan, William Perry and Ralphie May. And whoever get eliminated becomes lunch....

What I love about Parker/Stone is they go after everybody...
