Michael Moore Wins Stupid Person of the Year Award

 

(March 25, 2003 - nonewswire.com) Outspoken political documentary pundit Michael Moore has been named “Stupid Person of the Year” by Time Magazine. Moore seemed ecstatic at receiving the award, believing that the title was really an honorary one.

"Time Magazine is using a double negative, which really means it is a positive," said Moore. "You see, the word ‘stupid’ is a negative and the name ‘Michael Moore’ is a negative, therefore they cancel each other out. So I see that this is really an Intelligent Person of the Year award. After all, only a stupid person wouldn’t understand what I just said."

Time Magazine staff voted 8-1 in favor of him getting the stupidity honors.

"The vote is misleading," says Moore. "You see when one person felt I was stupid the others yelled stupid at the person saying I was stupid, therefore the vote was misinterpreted. This type of stuff goes on all the time. I hear people yelling ‘stupid’ wherever I go."

Moore’s next documentary project is "A Year in the Life of a Stupid Person" in which cameras follow him around as he proudly flaunts the "Stupid Person of the Year" Time Magazine cover featuring him.

The one person that didn’t vote Michael Moore for stupidity honors voted instead for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences organization for thinking his work was worthy of merit.

Non-Satire Followup: In interviews Michael Moore conducted after his tirade at the Academy Awards, he continued to stick by his theory that the booing of him was from people booing the booers and not everyone booing him. Perhaps he missed Monday, March 24's Tonight Show. When Jay Leno mentioned Moore's name, the audience strongly booed him without any applause. When Jay Leno did a spoof of Moore's house being blown up, the audience erupted in cheers. Michael Moore has aliented himself from the mainstream American public with his anti-American remarks and actions. He has no one to blame but himself. Note to Mr. Moore - when people are trying to shut up those who boo, they usually do it by yelling "Shut Up" or "Let Him Speak" and not by joining in the booing.

Reason for Satire:
In March 2003, Michael Moore won an Academy Award for Best Documentary and used his speech to launch a hate-filled tirade against the U.S. President and the war. On the same day that troops sacrificed their lives, Moore felt the need to diss their efforts and beliefs, while cowardly hiding behind the safety of his Oscar statue. Moore was virtually booed off stage during his hate filled speech. But Moore foolishly claimed to Inside Edition that the audience wasn't booing him! Here's his outlandish claim:

"Look at the tape, find people on the whole main floor, find one person booing …up in the balcony there was an orchestrated group of people that started it immediately and then everybody else started booing them to get them to shut up to let me speak."
