24. TV Desensitized.
Other than America's Funniest.... booger eating isn't a mainstay of American Moviemaking and News... Newsweek showed dead bodies in the Madrid bombing on it's cover.

(btw, I was of course being lighthearted... so please let's not flame me... I gag when I squash a cockroach and hear the crunch.. my intestinal fortitude. well, just ISNT)

3. I wish he'd included George's fist-pumping "I feel good!" comment

19. That would have been good.
Maybe the DVD will come out in an extended version, and some footage like that will be on it.

I understand the time constraints of the film medium, and that there was surely alot of great footage that couldn't be worked in.

5. The Sight of Paul Wolfowitz Mouthing His Comb
before slicking back his hair was bad enough. Just when I felt my stomach settle down, an aide used his hand to help Wolfie get smoothed down, then Wolfie licked his palm and slicked back some more.

:puke:

In the interest of good taste, I'm glad moviegoers weren't subjected to the sight of * and Pickles eating boogers.

20. I'm glad the theater crew

8. Because it's juvenile and counterproductive
If Moore was so stupid as to do that, the country's GOP owned media would immediately tag F/911 not as "Moore's Bush bashing movie", but rather "Moore's movie that features Bush picking his nose".

Who, outside of juvenile partisans, would want to go see that?

By focusing on the issues instead, Moore has made a powerful film. One that can be very persuasive.

10. Lots Of People Pick Their Nose But Few Eat What They Have Picked

18. Few people pick their noses
while in public, and aware of the possibility they are being filmed.

That said, I think it probably was a wise decision to leave it out, and use footage that was relevant to the issues that Moore was focusing on.

21. now that's a brain teaser
There's bound to be a small video clip somewhere of a camera shot from across the room with him turned around so you only get a small glimpse of the back of his head. Maybe. It could happen.

Don't forget, he was also Governor of Texas so it's much more than just 4 years of embarrassing video.

22. He couldn't. NAMBLA owns the copyright on that video.

That's National Association of Moronic Booger-Lunching Assholes
