I think this school system got what it paid for. What did they expect intelligent to come out of this man?

Let me be the first to say that eating nothing but McDonalds meals for 30 days is enough to turn anyone into a retard.

Well, they ordered a drive-by McProgram, and that is what they got.

IF?????
Why the hell can't people just apologize instead of making caveats all the time.

This looks like a classic non-apology apology. The guy is speaking weaselese here. (JMHO)

Although some in attendance believe Spurlock commented on "retarded kids in the back wearing helmets," he said in his blog that he only referred to himself as retarded and that the comment about helmets was meant as a "slacker reference" to a character in the upcoming film "Benchwarmers."Weasel.

I watched one episode where he would work for min wage....but he made more than minium wage. I think it might have been 7 or 8 an hour. but he was such a wieney , his wrist was hurting so he spent umpteen dollars going to clinic , just for them to tell him to take it easy. most lower income guys wouldnt go to the doctor if their legs were falling off.

Exactly right. Reminds me of a biblical verse: Out of the abundance of the heart doth the mouth speak.

Background InfoHired to speak at the school's 'first-ever' health fair.
The school apparently has money to burn.

My son who is a special education student had to watch part of this movie in health class with the regular ed kids. I called the teacher to tell him this film has a political agenda and I don't like it. He got my point and said only parts of the film would be shown. It was for a lesson on healthy eating.

Spurlock is a tool of the left...
...but mostly he's just a tool.

Let me be the first to say that eating nothing but McDonalds meals for 30 days is enough to turn anyone into a retard. Amen to that..I am going out on a limb and guessing even McDonald's execs would not recommend to do what that idiot did..what a maroon..I wonder if I drank a case of beer everyday for 30 days in a row..would I then say that beer is bad for you????
