I installed machinery in Greenhaven, in upstate new york. I'd have liked to have seen Spurlock in Greenhaven. Or maybe Joliet.

He was all weepy about the experience, meanwhile they were all lighting things on fire to make tattoo ink, tattooing each other with staples, reading books, sleeping all day and night, dodging the one dodgy guy, wearing jewelry, trading pills, writing in journals, eating and playing cards.

Boo Hoo. Sounds like a typical night in many Los Angeles households.

Were there any purple guys in jail? Purple is the new black, you know?

Actually, he looks like he'd love some man on man action. So it would be a moot point, kind of.

So, Mox, what was the concept of the show they wanted you on?

Early on in the show, he blames St. Nancy Reagan for her "Just Say No" campaign for locking up innocent people involved in using, selling and enabling drugs. WOW! What a horrible concept, locking up criminals!!!

He thinks everything was just peace, love, and legal pot and cocaine until Nancy Reagan came along?

(No, don't answer that. It was a rhetorical question).

I didn't know Nancy had even been beatified.

I've got to do better at keeping up with these things.

Suddenly, I have the urge to go buy a Hummer and swing by McDonalds for a super-sized double quarter pounder meal. On the way home, I'll be sure to run over a couple of Toyota Priuses.

And did you hear about the woman who actually LOST weight eating only McDonald's for 30 days?

Spurlock is a typical liberal documentarian: Bias your research, interview those who reinforce your point and act matter-of-factly about clearly debatable opinions.

During his first season he did a bit on what it would be like to live on minimum wage.

He and his gal lived in a dumpy apartment and took public transportation, but managed to find the money to go to the movies along the way. Then, he became ill and they had hospital bills to pay.

He bitched and moaned about how impossible the situation is: How would one ever manage to pay the hospital bill?

No mention whatsoever of the fact that someone in that predicament would likely get medicaid, or at least access to a free clinic. No mention of the fact that they would likely qualify for food stamps...or free job training...or subsidized housing...or earned income tax credits...or anything else that our tax dollar supports.

No mention whatsoever of why in the hell two able-bodied presumably intelligent adults in their thirties would be living on minimum wage in the first place.

I screamed at the television like a complete fool.

It was the last time I watched his show.

How ironic that google is running abortion clinic ads in your sidebar. And some adds with the word "prison".

Oh, yeah. My sis-in-law is a McD's manager and has been raising 6 kids on that salary and free McD's food that the owner lets her have for the last 10 years. Her and the kids: almost every meal from McD's for 10 years. Youngest boy made the high school football team. Oldest boy a firefighter. Oldest niece (Charity) proudly serving in the Army (pray for her on her way to Iraq in a month). Second oldest niece served in USAF. Youngest girl going in Navy. Other niece, not too shabby mom of two. Not a fat one in the bunch. Put that on TV and I'd watch it.

My whole life, I've probably eaten fast food at least once a week. And when I was poor after college, all I could afford many days was a McDonald's happy meal for lunch. Same as with your family, never had a weight problem.

Spurlock set up Super Size Me to fail...anyone have a link to that woman who lost weight eating at McD's every day?

Yea, Spurlock, they're just all a bunch of misunderstood guys. Why don't you get them parole and use your house as a halfway house? You can rehabilitate them while they run a train on your wife. Jesus Christ! John Kerry, Spurlock are all genetic defects who lack any sense of self-defense.

More Spurwing, Less Spurlock!

"Spurlock are all genetic defects who lack any sense of self-defense."

Maybe not. A couple weeks ago, I had the displeasure of reading this in my dentist's waiting room:

[I'm pro-gun. I think that guns don't kill people. Bullets kill people.]

Despite that, I would still throw his socialist candyass off Taygetus.

hmmm ... maybe I need to rethink my "when I do break down and watch TV, I need to add "reality TV" to my list ... NOT" policy. Sounds like I'm missing ever so much!

I had no idea who he was when Steve H. called him a pussy .... thanks for clearing that up, I think.

Liberals ... can't live with them, can't (legally) shoot them in the face.

Moxie you can be the next Nancy Reagan if you try hard enough.

Who would be her Gipper?

I howled with laughter at the first episode of 30 days. Spurlock didn't mention that his on the job injury was covered by his employer's worker's comp policy (it's the law in Ohio). He and his girlfriend could not find minimum wage jobs, but instead had to settle for jobs that paid more than the minimum. Also loved the shot of dead ants in his apartment as he stated that the apartment was "crawling with ants." And his girlfriend's sudden bladder infection that required a visit to an emergency room. Honey, no bladder infection is an emergency. Try an urgent care facility - it's cheaper. Spurlock's propaganda is even sloppier than Michael Moore's.
