Michael Moore is making headlines with his controversial documentary, but one group is targeting the filmmaker for his waistline.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has selected the gadfly filmmaker as one of its “Flab Five” and is treating him to a Veg Eye for the Fat Guy makeover. “Looks like the ‘Downsize This’ author has been doing too much supersizing,” notes PETA.

“We’ll be sending him a nice little care package, a makeover kit filled with health and diet tips, PETA’s vegetarian starter kit, and suggestions on how he might change his lifestyle,” PETA’s Michael McGraw tells The Scoop.

How about a bath, a shave, a diet! When he sees himself then, he might loose his self loathing, start to feel good about himself, and vote Republican!

American Idol winner Ruben Studdard is also getting targeted by PETA. “If ‘The Velvet Teddy Bear’ doesn’t want to become known as ‘The Velveeta Teddy Bear,’ he might want to idle his meat and dairy intake,” notes the group.

Woah, I didn't think there was actually any dairy in velveeta! LOL. Seriously, though, their PETA-brains are a little B-12 deficient if they think obesity is caused by eating meat/dairy.

Let Miramax distribute the film....

But only after it had been held to scrutiny to determine the amount of doctoring of words and scenes that he did with the Columbine Mockumentary.

I nominate Charleston Heston...for a little payback

If it passes muster...so be it.
Put it out, and let the public decide.

His track record almost assures us that this will be juct another 21/2 hours of lies and Bush-bashing.

PETA: "We're not against people, we're just against fat people." At least one of them is Michael Moore.

I prefer Michael Moore loses weight by getting stomach cancer.

And he should go to Canada for treatment.

“We’ll be sending him a nice little care package, a makeover kit filled with health and diet tips, PETA’s vegetarian starter kit, and suggestions on how he might change his lifestyle,”

Are they trying to get him to slim down or to get him to turn vegetarian? Not all vegetarian food is low in calories.

If he just turns vegetarian but digests enough food to maintain his weight, he'll still be hurting animals that get deprived of the food he consumes and still be killing lots of poor innocent plants. Plus, he requires more fuel to deliver food that he'll buy/consume and to transport his heavy body to give his speeches. Maybe the Sierra Club should get involved!

In seriousness, I recommend a high-fiber diet of raw vegetables and whole grains to keep his mouth busy. In between, perhaps some maltose candy can keep his teeth stuck together.
