Mickey vs Michael!
This is a Trickeldown Wank.
Michael Moore Got Miramax (a Disney company) to pay for his new film, Fahrenheit 9/11.
Then he tells the media (specifically, the New York Times) they're censoring him by paying for, then not distributing the film.
However, apparently he admited he knew this a year ago while it was still in production. Note the Washington Dispatch's glee at the NY Time's flub, and the wanking in the comments.
Meanwhile, Michael is still pretending he never admitted this wasn't a surprise.
So, basically, Disney said it would pay for the cost of entire thing, but wouldn't put it in the theaters. Then Michael Moore pisses off Disney by using a deal he knew was in place to manufacture hype.
Over in the LJ comm Liberal, Maxomai wants us to boycott Disney, and they argue over whether it's an indie movie, whether he's overpriced, and whether merely being mostly made up warrants
kylebee saying they're a whole 90% made up.
There's been allot of politi-wank recently, huh..?
