Michael Moore is America's favourite thorn in the side. With his
patented blend of comic provocation and serious advocacy, Moore issues
his own Sorry State of the Nation address. In STUPID WHITE MEN, he
provides a much-needed alternative to the steady,
"let's-line-up-behind-the-President" drumbeat of today's commentators.
Few have been willing to speak out with a different point of view lately
- until now. Michael Moore is proud to be an American and believes that
the strength of a democracy is seen by how well it insures the fullest
possible discussion of the issues of the day. Starting with the farcical
shenanigans surrounding the November 2000 coup - er, election - in
Florida, he reviews the collection of corporate-friendly career
politicians George W Bush has chosen to prop up his administration, and
confronts Bush in a comic, yet thought-provoking open letter. He takes
on issues as diverse as global warming, commercialism in schools, and
even the continuing spectre of racism in US society. He challenges
Yasser Arafat to mount a campaign of non-violent civil disobedience,
challenges employers to hire only black people, even challenges the male
gender to clean up its act if men are going to avoid extinction. From
the hapless presidency of George W to the sloppy explosion of the
tech-stock bubble to the consumer debt epidemic - from the spread of
mad-cow disease to Bush's scorched-earth environmental policy - America
is collapsing into a political, ethical, fianancial and physical slag
heap and Moore leaves no radioactive stone unturned along the way.
Entertaining and astonishing in equal measure, STUPID WHITE MEN is the
latest and most powerful in Michael Moore's series of acts of satirical
subversion, sure to cause controversy.
