Everyone talks about Supersize me, but “where in the World is Osama Bin Laden” hasn’t been brought up yet.

This animated segment from the movie(and a badly animated one at that about how the US has supported dictators over the years. It first talks about the US installing the Shah of Iran, which they didn’t and omits some very relevent details about that period such as Mossadegh trying to topple the constitutional head of state (the Shah) and usurped powers (including Commander in Chief), dissolved parliament & shut down the press.

It also make the false claim that the US armed Saddam Hussein again Iran, painting him as America’s guy in the middle East when in fact he was a soviet backed dictator. And so on.

Thanks, I’ll have to check this out. I’ve always thought Spurlock was hack after learning how he lied about McDonald’s in Super Size Me. And who needed a movie to tell them McDonald’s is unhealthy in the first place.
