Sicko - Moore to Come

Open Wide and say Oh my God, prepare to be sickened.

Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore has locked the negative of his new film Sicko away to make sure government officials can't confiscate the project ahead of its June 29 release. Just when you forget that we live in a fascist police state along comes Moore to remind us.

The controversial director faces jail after reportedly breaking trade laws to make parts of his hard-hitting new movie, which takes aim at America's health system.

And, as he fights allegations his trip to Cuba to shoot footage was illegal, Moore isn't worried about jail time - he fears his film could be confiscated.

He says, "We've responded to the government, saying we did not break the law, that this is the work of journalism. They want us to name the names of the people that we took there and I won't do that. We've taken the necessary precautions to protect the negative of the film so that it can't be confiscated. The next move is theirs."

I don't always agree with the man's tactics, but my opinion of the state of health care in this country is such that I hope he slaps 'em all on the barbecue and keeps flippin.
