Satirist Moore Storms Out of Britain

American satirist Michael Moore has stormed out of Britain after a bust up with the London theatre hosting his one-man show. The Bowling For Columbine moviemaker performed Michael Moore - Live! to packed audiences for two months before Christmas at The Roundhouse in Camden, North London. But on the penultimate night he reportedly flew into a rage, verbally attacked everyone associated with the theatre because he thought he wasn't being paid enough. During the performance he complained he was making just $750 a night. A member of the stage crew says, "He completely lost the plot. He stormed around all day screaming at everyone, even the £5-an-hour bar staff, telling them how we were all conmen and useless. Then he went on stage and did it in public." Staff retaliated by refusing to work the following night, which led to the show being held up for an hour. Eventually he made a groveling apology to staff and the angry audience finally took to their seats. A source reports that Moore then packed his bags and flew to New York the next day without saying thank you or goodbye to anyone.

Sounds like a breach of contract on Mr. Mooron's part. Hope the producers nail him.

Was he also trying to sell his book "Stupid White Yanks"?
Sorry this piece of filth sullied your shores Ivan.

How many "blue collar" types would complain about such a pay rate? Pro-rated to 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year that's $187,500.

I'm still wondering, "WHAT has he done that's IMPORTANT?" To me he's nothing more than "well-known for being well known."
Nothing Moore!

I cannot stand Garrison Keillor's rasping weasely NPR voice.
As for Moore, a "blif" which is a 10lb. bag with 20lbs. of "do do" in it!

Was he also trying to sell his book "Stupid White Yanks"? Stupid White Men, yes. And there were more posters for THAT than his stage show. Must be really bad.

Creatures such as Michael Moore are one good reason for widespread and enduring prohibitions against sex with livestock.
To: Dialup Llama
Garrison Keillor has the same anger manangement problem, similar girth and wacky politics as well.
Yes, but Keillor is genuinely talented and humorous, usually leaving his politics completely out of what has made his fame. Moore, on the other hand, has made spraying bile his solo act.

Thank You! This really helps me with my New Year's resolution for weight loss. I'm not, however, posting it on my fridge. ;o)

I feel bad for you Brits, having Madonna show her idiocy towards you first, and now Michael Moore.
To: Paul Atreides
Seeing as how the libs are desparately trying to find a liberal talk show host to counter Rush, Michael Mooron might be perfect. He'd get the liberal message out.

As a result of recent legislative redistricting, the left cheek of Mikey's arse is now its own congressional district. Word has it that he's gobbling for statehood....
