New Michael Moore project gives drug companies a sick feeling

By Elaine Dutka / Los Angeles Times

America's pharmaceutical industry is putting out an advisory about the latest potential threat to its health: Michael Moore.

Moore, the filmmaker whose targets have included General Motors ("Roger & Me"), the gun lobby (the Oscar-winning "Bowling for Columbine") and President Bush ("Fahrenheit 9/11"), has now set his sights on the healthcare industry, including insurance companies, HMOs, the Food and Drug Administration -- and drug companies.

At least six of the nation's largest companies already have issued internal notices to their work forces, preparing them for potential ambushes.

"We ran a story in our online newspaper saying Moore is embarking on a documentary -- and if you see a scruffy guy in a baseball cap, you'll know who it is," said Stephen Lederer, a spokesman for Pfizer Global Research and Development.

[Deja Q]

1. Why should they feel sick? F911 gave * a sick feeling and he 'won'.

Michael Moore is on somebody's hitlist, and may he evade those elitist fascist pigs for as long as he can.

2. Wouldn't it be funny

"We ran a story in our online newspaper saying Moore is embarking on a documentary -- and if you see a scruffy guy in a baseball cap, you'll know who it is," said Stephen Lederer, a spokesman for Pfizer Global Research and Development.

What if MM dropped a few pounds, shaved the scruff, and started wearing three-piece suits? I wonder if the pharma-stooges would have a hard time spotting him then?

3. Did you see him on Leno a week or two ago?

That's exactly how he looked (except for the weight loss of course). He was clean shaven with a fresh haircut and was wearing a suit. If he drops a few pounds they probably won't recognize him.

4. for every fat joke they pull on him, I will go after every obese GOPer

in the phone book, Starting with Falwell, Roger Ailes, Dennis Hastert, and that Louisiana dude Tauzin, and drag them all through the fat joke mud. Over half of adults are overweight or obese, they have no idea how hypocritical they are when they go after someone's weight, it will be WAR on the wide girth GOPers, I can gurantee you that.

BTW: According to Morgan Spurlock almost all of the fastest cities in the country are in Red states, with a good chunk of them in Texas
