Michael Moore-Produced ‘Planet of the Humans’ Doc Pulled From YouTube, Director Cries ‘Censorship’

The Michael Moore-produced documentary “Planet of the Humans” was pulled from YouTube overnight due to a “copyright claim by a third party” — prompting writer-director Jeff Gibbs to denounced the removal as a “blatant act of censorship.”

“It is a misuse of copyright law to shutdown a film that has opened a serious conversation about how parts of the environmental movement have gotten into bed with Wall Street and so-called ‘green capitalists,'” Gibbs said in a statement Monday. “There is absolutely no copyright violation in my film. This is just another attempt by the film’s opponents to subvert the right to free speech.”

The documentary, which has drawn criticism from environmental groups for its harsh assessment of the efficacy of solar and wind energy, has garnered 8.3 million views since its release on YouTube on April 21, according to the film’s rep, who added that the filmmakers have been in contact with the Google-owned video service over the issue.

HaHaHaHaHaHaHa........Guess you can’t even fool Google when one of your own doesn’t toe the line. Too bad fatso, hope you have learned a lesson that even the truth will never get in the way of the rabid left agenda.

Fahrenheit 911 (< "Fahrenheit 451," by Ray Bradbury)

Planet of the Humans (< "Planet of the Apes")

Can't Moore think up any original titles?

Some people say his first movie Roger and Me was good and Moore went downhill from there. I thought R&M was garbage. It was nothing but the same hackneyed pattern he has used ever since.

His best movie was Canadian Bacon. Closest to being true, too.

While I think he has as much right as everyone else to put out whatever video (that I won’t watch), if he’s abusing copyright law by using someone else’s stuff - video, music, other content then the take down is legit.

Are you perhaps confusing Michael Moore and John Candy?

This was actually a really good movie, it totally exposed the hypocrisy of the environmental movement and made the Sierra Club look like a bunch phony money-sucking self-centered greedy SOB's!

Not surprised that the leftist mafia is doing everything they can to shut it down. While the typical Michael Moore anti-capitalist message was still there, it was toned way down. I highly recommend watching it and sharing with your friends, especially the greenies!

Here's the funny part. Google, about 20 years ago, wanted to "save the world", and with more cash than they knew what to do with, funded studies on a bunch of renewable technologies. What they found was that there are no viable green energy technologies, and so they quietly stopped funding them.

But that is exactly what Michael Moore's movie is about. YouTube, owned by Google, is censoring Moore even though they agree with him.

I think it’s funny how thin skinned the Left is.

The only reason he’s censored is because he’s lobbing an
m-80 into the midst of the climate hoax, and other sacred
cows.

Hilarious.

Leftist cannibalism. Oh the joys...
