Did Michael Moore Just Ask Us to Save Our CEOs?
Check out the surprise teaser for Moore's newest documentary about the economic meltdown. I always love his ability to bring much-needed attention to serious issues using humor. If you think the bailout for AIG, Goldman Sachs, CitiBank and Bank of America simply wasn't enough, it's time we dig deeper and help out those poor, struggling CEOs! Apparently, when this teaser aired in select theaters in LA, New York, Washington, D.C, and Chicago, ushers walked down the aisles with collection jars and some audience members actually contributed.
Moore's new film will be released October 2. For more Moore, visit http://www.michaelmoore.com/
