Liberal Hollywood film producer Michael Moore, who has been an outspoken critic of President George W. Bush and his policies since he was first elected in 2000, is in hot water over outsourcing his web site design and servers to non-American companies.
Moore, who has championed the cause of keeping American jobs within the borders of the United States during the recent debate over outsourcing, has himself granted a company named PLANK the job of developing and designing the look and operation of Moore's web site.
Despite his vehement objections to outsourcing American jobs, Moore still hired the Montreal-based company to create his web site.
In addition, the web host server for Moore's web site is also Canadian-owned by Webcore Labs, whose home office is located in Calgary, Alberta.
Appearing at this year's Cannes Film Festival with his film Farenheit 9/11, which alleges that the Bush administration orchestrated the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 with Usama bin Laden, Moore is expected to continue bashing Bush and his policies on outsourcing, among others.
Moore did not respond to messages regarding this story.

So, he obviously knows the benefits of outsourcing to actually participating in the trend. Hypocrite indeed.

It is difficult to respond when you are shoving fistfuls of french fries and hamugers into your gaping maw.

How much can he possibly save? Probably nothing.
He wants to move it out of the USA because he hates this country, that's all.

web design?? All he has to do is pick up a phone book!!Course he's probably too busy but it doesn't take long to learn the basic HTML if one knows where to look for the information online. OTOH, you may have a point, he's probably too stupid.

My blood pressure hits the roof whenever I see Moore's name. This next movie will be an abomination.

Whatever happened to the outsourcing of Hollywood?
Madonna, Cher, Baba, and the whole bunch were going to move overseas if Bush was elected....
Guess it didn't happen.
