Morgan Spurlock got famous from his Oscar-nominated documentary Super Size Me. He ingested big McDonald's meals three times a day for 30 days, then blamed McDonald's for his bloated body and dodgy health. Now he's using his 30-day premise to get Americans to ingest his version of radical Islam on cable's FX Network.

I asked the show's executive producers--all of whom worked on The Awful Truth With Michael Moore, a cable TV show--how this could be a documentary when they had decided the outcome in advance. Wasn't it possible that Mr. Stacy would come out seeing that there isn't Islamophobia to the extent that the Muslim community claims? Might he see that there is disturbingly strong support in the Detroit-area Islamic community for terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah--a fact regularly documented even in the normally pliant Detroit media?
No, the producers told me. "Morgan wants the show to demonstrate to America that we are Islamophobic and that 9/11's biggest victims are Muslims."

They should call it The Awful Idiocy of the Kook Left-Wing.
Change the channel. Don't watch FX at all. Block it on your sets so the kids won't put the channel on either.
but rove was wrong about the Liberals?????????
I no longer suffer fools.
The only thing Muslims are victims of is their own utter evil stupidity.

'The Shield' and 'Resue Me' are pretty good shows. This one is a pantload.
Now we're supposed to believe everything this amazing seer has to say because he found out that eating nothing but burgers and fries makes you feel bad....?
Yes they are.
I happen to watch the 30 Days episode about his living on minimum wage for a month. Just chock full of liberal propaganda.
These knuckleheads are more interested in being iconoclasts (their "documentaries" are all about them, them, them) than in considering the false and harmful natures of broadcasting their tripe.
Liberal "patriotism" consists of hiring lawyers to defend terrorists who want to murder us. It consists of tearing down the war effort. It consists of insinuating that the legal election of a president during this war was illegitimate and undemocratic.
They're seditious cretins. All of them.
Hey Morgan.....If you really want to impress me, try eating Muslims for 30 days!
And not even original. Barbara Ehrenreich did it for like a year to write "Nickle and Dimed".
I think a much more interesting show idea would be for him to live openly as a Jew in Saudi Arabia for a month.
A different, longer version of this, with more info appears on Schlussel's website, www.debbieschlussel.com.
To show the extent of problems involving islam in detroit, several "civil rights activists" (of a liberal bent no less) urged Shapton during this so called presidential campaign to address or acknowledge arabic islamic racism in detrot towards african americans.
From what I gathered, some arabic stores openly discriminate against african americans and are hostile towards them at times along with insulting towards the "Nation of Islam" (which mainstream muslims see as a bastardization of their faith and blasphemy).
Sharpton refused and used some old tired "blame it on whitey" responses.
Other democrats were asked to do the same for a debate scheduled there, most if not all, except Sharpton, didn't show up, fearing ambush.
Anybody have a list of advertisers? I would me more than happy to refuse to do business with any of them.
I wouldn't watch the movie, but one of my friends went, since he had a whole "anti-corporate" mindset.
He found it demeaning, but what he says contradicts this article, according to him, this idiot would stuff himself silly with McDonalds food several times a day, repeatedly, even if he wasn't hungry or if he was already full.
My friend thought it came across more as a shot at fat people for constantly eating junk, even when they don't have to, and getting health problems due to it.
In theory, you could have substituted McDonalds with any restaurant, home or anything else, and gotten the same result, which kind of kills the point of the movie in the first place.
