Michael Moore on Akihabara

michael-moore-on-akiba.jpg

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.”

Other choice quotes:

“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…

    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"

    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...

    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've lived near and known worthless people in my life too :)

    Moore is to politics what otakus are to manga/anime. He's embarassing.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 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".

    "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!"

    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.

    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...�

    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.

    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.

    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.

    i'll go see a michael moore anti-otaku movie. why is everyone raging, it'll be as comedic as his other movies.
