Comedy fat man and leftist documentary maker Michael Moore has paid a visit to Akihabara, with the town leaving a distinctly unfavourable impression on him it seems.
Above he dispenses the first of his sage observations: “A lot of unnecessary things are being sold here.”
“Shopping may brighten the spirits, but they’re just fooling themselves.”
In response to “Okaerinasaimase, goshujin-sama!” at a maid cafe:
“I’m not your master! Everybody’s equal.”
With cheery insights such as these, some fear another documentary may be in the offing…

Oh, goddamit, just shut the fuck up, Michael Moore!
America's greatest enemy.....
I agree with james woods on the subject of michael moore. He is "a fat fucking bastard who can go choke on his own ego in hell, the cock sucking fat ass"
what he said
Another item to be added to unnecessary things sold - movies by Michael Moore. A ignorant buffoon would be a king understatement.
Deceitful liar is another when it comes to ALL his movies, from the very beginning. The entire premise of his movie 'Roger and Me' - i.e. Moore could not get to met or talk with 'Roger' - was essentially lost during the production because Moore 'forgot' to mention that he actually met and talked with General Motors CEO Roger Smith...TWICE. Moore probably thought the fact that his second meeting with Smith which was a personal meeting by appointment between the two, would had made his movie moot.
Then there was the case where Mike Yon had to serve Moore with legal papers before Moore or his lawyer would even discuss the fact that Moore had lifted a copyright photo of Yon's for use on Moore's website...without permission or even an acknowledgement...
At least he finally found a place where his frumpy way of dress fits in...
I've lived near and known worthless people in my life too :)
Moore is to politics what otakus are to manga/anime. He's embarassing.
I don't know if I should just facepalm at the fail comments or congratulate Artefact on his huge catch from this trollbate.
And if neither, to Sylar and Skribulous for possessing the skill of doing basic research that most internet dwellers lack.
If that was his reaction to a Maid Cafe, then to a Tsundere Maid Cafe he...
Cums buckets?
=P
What an ignorant fool.
People like this should just STFU.
Understand a little of the things first and then you can speak, fatass. Besides you're not so different from the stereotypical American that you hate so much.
I don't have enough information about this.
"These people buy too many unnecessary things."
"Oh look they have a McDonald's here!"
Taking into consideration this is Akihabara we (and Moore) are talking about:
“A lot of unnecessary things are being sold here.”
Duh! Of course there are, it's basically the capital of mindless consumerism!
“Shopping may brighten the spirits, but they’re just fooling themselves.”
Not necessarily, although of course he's probably talking about hopeless hikikomoris and NEETs, for whom a buying spree of useless crap is the depressive equivalent of drowning their sorrows in alcohol.
“I’m not your master! Everybody’s equal.”
Yeah, maid cafes are about the sickest, wickedest economic tertiary sector shit the Japanese have ever produced, barring perhaps used pantsu dispensers (seriously, what the fucking fuck!?) and all things enjo kousai.
Ah, he is just an asshole trying to get attention. For God's sake, how many unnecessary things American stores are selling? It is all subjective anyhow. Technically we dont even need movies. Maybe we should start by stopping him from making any more nonsense. If our world is just filled with "Useful" items, then it would be a boring world. We wont have games, sport cars, super stars, manga, comics, animations etc. Go blow yourself Michael!
WHAHAHA I DONT CARE what the Documentary would be about .. I would watch it XD
What a weird dork
Haha, I love the "everybody's equal" quote. I don't think he was trying to insult them particularly, it's just his style of humor. I'm not sure of his tone on the subject, but even if he is completely serious, it still makes for a few good laughs on the differences between the extreme left American and Japanese Otaku cultures.
this is yet another reason why i pay no attention to this leftist dickhead.
were are all those stabbers when ya need'em?
wish someone would kill that fucking bastard...
I don't know if I should just facepalm at the fail comments or congratulate Artefact on his huge catch from this trollbate.

Michael Moore is so fat he has his own postal codes
Own time zone, own land value, own gravitational field, et cetera.
LOL
I generally like his documentaries, but this shows a definite lack of knowledge and probably a lot of preconceived notions clouding his view.
“I’m not your master! Everybody’s equal.”
So he should goto McDonand's instead of somewhere the waitresses serve you. Of wait, there are still people serving you at McDonald's from behind the counter. Umm... so go home and make your own meals yourself. Oh, you have a cook to do that for you? Well, you should cook for the cook then. You're all equals after all.
oh i know why everybody's so pissed.
they're fappin' to michael but he's not
censored like most fat JAV models. =D
He is probably totally without knowledge of otaku culture when he says his opinion of equality in maid cafe. Or he is joking! I share most of his opinions in his documentaries, if he does not know anything about otakuism does not make him automatically a bad guy.
But Moore should think twice when he says that "a lot of unnecessary things are sold here" because he eats too much and it is just as bad for enviroment and for his own health.
He's just a political troll if he does make a movie it'll be a riot like the last one.
Though it could be worse it could have been Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin visiting Akihabara.
I don't even want to know what their reaction would be.
Would be nice to read what all right wingers here would say of Limbaugh & S.Palin reactios...
“I’m not your master! Everybody’s equal.”
LOL
I live next to the guy in Northern Michigan. He has invested a lot of money in the only big town up here (Google "Traverses city film festival").
I used to work at a grocery store near TC that he would frequent between films, and he'd always make jokes and was over all a really nice guy. Hell he though it was hilarious that I told him I had torreted "Sicko" the week before.
So I REALLY get a kick out off all you lolifags mocking him
I love it when people try to defend celebrities by saying how nice of a person they are since they "personally" know them.
He's just a Michael Moore fan lying for his tubby master (or a hired spin doctor). Moore doesn't live in Michigan, despite him shouting "Flint! I live in Flint! I'm from Flint! Totally Flint!"
He never lived in Flint. He lived in the upscale suburbs, and "slummed" briefly in Flint when he decided he wanted to make money off the "little people" he claimed to represent.
He lives in a multi-million town home in New York City. He has a -vacation- home in one of the rich parts of Michigan. He certainly doesn't go meandering around to little grocery stores from some modest ranch dwelling when he's "between films".
unnecessary otaku product is unecessary.
you're not going to die if you don't get another mousepad with boobs. You already have four of them, right?
Moore doesn't make documentaries, he makes political propaganda
Does he like book 2 seats on a plane, or are all planes leaving America outfitted with XXL seats?
why does japan let Michael Moore in?
Probably they confused him for the Great Whale God, lol.
motherfucker Michael Moore!!!
God does he like book 2 seats on a plane, or do all planes leaving from America have XXL seats?
What the hell get that fat bastard out of my country!
Can't he go find some obama dirt to harass or something =_=
He's gonna eat all the sushi =_=
Do not dignify his existence by using his name, he is simply known as "The Human Ton"
... dido on what the angry forum typed.
Those poor girls at the maid cafe
;w; How dare he insult them.. and the cafe.
I doubt they knew what he said though..
Actually it was the other way around, he told the useless, money-thirsty cunt that she shouldn't degrade herself to please the lame, perverted fantasies of pocket-full, pimple-faced otaku fatasses.
But, that's humanity for you... and him, lol.
cant agree with Michael Moore on this if he makes it into a documentary
Methinks Mr Moore fails to understand the point of Akihabara
It was a water and oil kind of thing... would have probably been the same with Mother Teresa and [insert feminist leader name].
What? If I was equal, I'd be standing in a kitchen.
I know why he's in Japan maybe he's curious in Japan because he watch the movie THE COVE also a US documentary about Dolphin killing and this documentary he's making will be about DOLPHIN DELICACY IN JAPAN. he might try it because he's fat and PROMOTE IT WORLDWIDE.
"Michael Moore would expect everyone to chose death. That expectation is extreme because it holds everyone at the cost of individual wants. That's not very 'American' isn't it?"
If you expected anything american to come out of Moore you haven't ever seen anything by him, have you?
As to him having a point... I think the only way that will ever happen is if he gets stabbed or impaled...
I'm really not surprised the man who wants everyone who has ever even thought about enjoying being american to feel guilty wants to ruin the safe fantasy that capitalism allows.
In the (approximate) words of 4chan, To Michael Moore I say; "don't like it? GTFO N00b!"
who cares what about he says, he's fat and american
this is one of those guys that if i saw them i dont know if i could help myself from punching him in the fucking face:|....
"With cheery insights such as these, some fear another documentary may be in the offing"
Hell yeah, do it. There is no such thing as bad publicity. Bonus point for being fat.
even after i watched the clip on youtube
it still doesn't change the fact that he made his documentaries in order to get money from the people on his side
there's nothing wrong with getting money from your fans, right?
but what about the false information he included in his documentaries man?
what kind of a genius has so many anti websites?
to many people he's a hero but to me and a lot more people he's nothing but a big joke
Michael Moore is an illiterate, well, at least with things about otakudom. :)
A lot of unnecessary things are selling there? Like what, Michael Moore videos?
If everyone is equal why is he so fat.
he jus jelous of us kool nd 1337 otakus,
he got the right luks but he jus aint otaku material,
thats why he's trying so hard at this bullshit
otaku-1
m.moore-0
I think I have enough evidence to say now that Micheal Moore is just not there in the head.
At all.
what
a
moron
and i actually liked his last 2 films 2
The guy makes money peddling gutter wisdom to the more gullible parts of the masses.
Agree with his underlying message or not... smile demeaningly and move on.
Anyway he's not all bad, he finished his visit and 'liked it there' to show that he's got cultural affinity and likes costumes as long as he can shove his brand of imperialism on others. *rolls eyes deep into back of the head*
At least the real Imperialists provide guns, jobs and appreciate local exotica.
Michael Moore rules!
sure, is full of unnecesary things, is a pervert's and and an otaku's wonderland.
sex is unnecesary too, you know?
and yet we all are a little happier because of it
wtf...?
heh even re-reading this makes me think "I've seen the choice quotes, now let me read the whole thing"
god why am i here

Judging from the the vids provided by the kind Kerii-san, Michael Moore wasn't disgusted by his experience in Akihabara. He just seemed confused and unused to the culture there. Needless to say, I wouldn't be expecting a documentary of his bad-mouthing Akihabara being made anytime.
Yep, �it's just another ordinary troll-a-ling today...�
Moore: "#2: Do not talk to teenage girls."
LOL. This advice sure hits home in this one.
Yeah, the "obesity" tag for this article couldn't be anymore fitting.
Ummm did he even realize how fucked up japan is before he went there? I swear this guy just wants attention. Wait his a comedian.....but he doesn't even have the funny fat man appeal....he just looks like a fat slob.
Michael Moore, I love you and all you do for the U.S. but there is nothing uglier than an American who goes aboard and criticizies a culture they do not understand.
Come and getting to so stop American wars, before we invade Venazula
His last movie was pretty god damn bad. Was in like 30 theaters only, and was only for a few weeks to further support the claim..
This thread has too many serious responses.
Can any of what's his names films actually be called documentaries? His reaction shows just how ignorant of the world he is (the putz). Any time you go to a foreign country, do as they do. Geeze!! Makes me want to knock his @$$ out! And I'm an American!
What he said to the worker in the maid cafe was actually extremely rude. She, and her clientele know it's just a fantasy, but by saying that he is implying she actually IS subservient, and even worse he is treating her like a child.
Well, he was right about the unnecessary part.
Michael Mooe is a genius, anyone here seen 'Sicko' or 'Fahrenheit 911','Bowling for columbine' or the latest 'Capitalism'? I don't THINK he's good, I FIRMLY BELIEVE he's good.
keep on trollin'
indeed, seen all his documentaries actually.
that's exactly how i know he's far from a genius.
disassemble his arguments, or get someone that knows what they're talking about to do so, and you'll see huge flaws.
flaws might even be too gracious as outright lies and misrepresentations might be a better descriptor.
agree with his politics or not (and i usually do, i just don't let that cloud my judgment), that doesn't change the fact that his arguments (and in turn, his "documentaries") are crap.
he's an activist with absolute crap critical skills that cons those who will believe any message without questioning the techniques of the messenger.
unfortunately there are a lot of such people, which is why he gets away with labeling himself a documentarian.
i applaud the pursuit of truth, but i prefer the truth be defended by, and lies be dispelled with, the truth.
covering lies with your own set of tailored lies is just as dishonest and does not equal the pursuit of truth.
that's why i have seen his "documentaries" and still see his genius is utter fraud.
goddamn whale. watch when the camera went off. he went back to the cafes, got some hookers, and went did a bar roll, yes a roll. not crawl. damn fat bastard.
Good god....less of this please
Instead of this fat fuck waste of flesh, here is some cute girls with yaeba teeth.

Michael Moore can eat shit and die
Lardy commie scum.
After reading all posts, I found out he is funny.
The confusion of Moore Michael
I don't really consider mike as an american since he has such a hard on for Canada. But besides that...leave the Japanese people alone! What they do in their country is their business (and partly mine since i love manga and what-not)...go back to Canada.
In 2005 Time magazine named him one of the world's 100 most influential people. We have just made another enemy.
In response to “Okaerinasaimase, goshujin-sama!” at a maid cafe:
“I’m not your master! Everybody’s equal.”
; Squealed bubble butt more-more!!! He then overturns his table as he stood up with his bulging gut catching the edge. Undecipherable gurgling is heard coming out of him as he waddles quickly to the back and raids all the food and pastries. Two minutes later, witnesses spot the land whale rolling out of the cafe with a leg of a waitress...
Japanese police tried to catch him, but fear of losing an arm -like poor Takashi- tried to use nets. Hundreds of innocent civilians are also lost to his unstoppable hunger. More-more is lost when he rolled into the Tokyo Bay and was never seen again. Japan now will morn this day every year. "Now I know how it feels like when Americans saw those ragheads fly into those buildings", confessed the injured waitress now missing a hand and a few fingers along with her leg.
Oh right, that man is one sick greedy fuck. Right up with al bore's greedy ways as he milks cash out of more morons who think they're saving mother gaia by dropping greens into "carbon credits" for him.
He told the truth...

Gaben goes to Akihabara
Hey! I got into a farting competition with this guy once. He's not so bad once you get to know him.
I think you may be missing the point.
No doubt Moore is in Japan to promote his latest documentary about capitalism — particularly capitalism run amuck. From that viewpoint, almost nothing that’s on sale there is actually necessary. The demand for their products and services exist only because of prolonged, orchestrated promotion in the media.
I bet you it's gonna be on sexism in Japan or Japanese culture or some shit.
Seriously though, fuck you Michael Moore. I vote 2ch gets on his ass.
I can be a liberal douchebag with the best of them, but Moore pisses me off.
well my girlfriend saw that on japanese news
she said he looks really fat
Why does that picture make his face... retarded
Don't be silly, he IS retarded.
michael moore is just a silly whale that lost his way home and now tries to be something else and a bitch too
i'll go see a michael moore anti-otaku movie. why is everyone raging, it'll be as comedic as his other movies.
I'm actually looking forward to it.
i had to lol at the "i'm not your master" bit. just sounded too hilarious and a little like something i'd hear in a show.
He's an American, alright!
