Mickey Mouse battles Michael Moore
Walt Disney Corp may come to the rescue of a Michael Moore beleaguered-President Bush by unveiling its own patriotic documentary film.


The company that last month refused to release the politically explosive Fahrenheit 9/11 now plans to release the film America's Heart and Soul on Friday.

Supporters say the new film could counter-balance Michael Moore's hit film that has already taken more than $23 million at the box office.

"This unusual film was inspirational," said Howard Kaloogian, chairman of Move America Forward, which has spearheaded a boycotting campaign of Fahrenheit 9/11 after attending a special screening of the film on Monday.

1. Fahrenheight 9/11 is on its way to making 100 million
I wouldn't want to be in Michael Eisner's place at the next Disney shareholders meeting.

2. Things just go from bad to worse.
Disney was obnoxious enough when it stopped Mirimax from distibuting F911.

But now Disney is trying to legitimize a Republican p.r. astroturf organization, "Move America Forward," which asked people to call theaters and tell them not to show F911.

3. I'm not touching Disney merchandise with another ten foot pole.
That's it for me. What a bunch of hypocritical money-hungry assholes.
