6:33p - Not quite supersized wank
this is pretty small, but should get a good laugh.

Over on ONTD, an entry from Morgan Spurlock's blog is posted here. He talks about censorship and apologizes for calling himself retarded, etc.

The important bit is:
Lastly, in the article it quoted me as saying that the greatest lesson those kids learned was the importance of freedom of speech. When saying that, I did not mean that you have the right to insult anyone at will (as many people have interpreted it.) I was referring to the fact that the group that hired me to speak asked that I not mention McDonald’s in any of my talk because one of their board members owns a franchise. That would be like asking Neil Armstrong to speak but tell him he can’t bring up walking on the moon, so needless to say, I didn’t agree to their censorship.

[info]blizzardbebe calls bullshit on eating fries = going into space. [info]andsheburns is a fangirl of Morgan Spurlock disagrees. The result is a thread of gold.

[info]pillcake paraphrases the letter pretty well.

[info]la_sikka points out that Super-Size Me is about more than just McDonalds. [info]blizzardbebe has seen it and disagrees
