Synopsis:
Michael Moore - favorite thorn in the side of Corporate America tells you everything you need to know about how the great and the good screw us over.
It reveals - amongst other things - how President Bush stole an election aided only by his brother, cousin, his dad's cronies, electoral fraud and tame judges, how the rich stay rich whilst forcing the rest of us to live in economic fear: and how politicians have whored themselves to big business. Not to mention just how stupit President Bush is, a convincing case for male adolescence and a fabulous new use for white's only signs!
A hilarious read for anyone who wants to know what the con is and how `they` get away with it, STUPID WHITE MEN is only available uncensored because public pressure forced the original publishers to publish a book they felt was too hot to handle. Now it's time to find out why. It's so damn fully it'll make you cry.
With his patented blend of comic provocation and serious advocacy, Moore issues his own Sorry State of the Nation address.
In STUPID WHITE MEN, he provides a much-needed alternative to the steady, "let's-line-up-behind-the-President" drumbeat of today's commentators. Few have been willing to speak out with a different point of view lately - until now.
Proud to be an American Moore believes that the strength of a democracy is seen by how well it insures the fullest possible discussion of the issues of the day. Starting with the farcical shenanigans surrounding the November 2000 coup - er, election - in Florida, he reviews the collection of corporate-friendly career politicians George Bush has chosen to prop up his administration, and confronts Bush in a comic, yet thought-provoking open letter. He takes on issues as diverse as global warming, commercialism in schools, and even the continuing spectre of racism in US society. He challenges Yasser Arafat to mount a campaign of non-violent civil disobedience, challenges employers to hire only black people, even challenges the male gender to clean up its act if men are going to avoid extinction. From the hapless presidency of Bush to the sloppy explosion of the tech-stock bubble to the consumer debt epidemic - from the spread of mad-cow disease to Bush's scorched-earth environmental policy - America is collapsing into a political, ethical, fianancial and physical slag heap and Moore leaves no radioactive stone unturned along the way. Entertaining and astonishing in equal measure, STUPID WHITE MEN is the latest and most powerful in Michael Moore's series of acts of satirical subversion, sure to cause controversy.
