True irateplatypus, but then isn't Mr. Moore also entitled to exercise his free speech rights to garner publicity from Disney's decline? What is the actual nature of your qualm? You don't deny the political motives of Disney's move, or that they declined to distribute the film yet you claim Mr. Moore wasn't censored? Or are you just taking this opportunity to bash Moore because you disagree with his message?
BTW Moore's first film "Roger & Me" is considered a classic of the documentary genre. It's a groundbreaking example of guerilla film making. A less competant director might have portrayed the sheriff, driving around evicting people all day as evil or amoral, instead of as an okay guy doing his job as Moore does. The "pets or meat" segment is simutaneously hilarious, sad, and disgusting. Must see.
