Michael Moore jokes about Jesus being gay...at Georgetown...

The caps are annoying

Lets face it. His whole delivery is annoying. We keep seeing the term tabloid thrown around OBOB. This guy embodies that term imo. Regardless of the points I may agree or disagree with. But it got him on the map.

Well, no word for word transcript from what I can find. But it does seem he implied Jesus hanging out with 12 men being suspect. As well as a generous sprinkling of f-bombs throughout the speech.

I think he should be punished by taking a shower on a regular basis. Go on Jenny Craig & wash his mouth out with a bar of Lava soap.

He makes his money by being offensive on so many levels when his actual message that means something is enough to stand on it's own imo.

Well, according to the Hoya which has the only reporter in the room at the time he used an obsensity once and immediately appologized and spent most of the rest of the time talking about student activism.

No mention of Jesus being gay.

Like I said, I'd love to see a word for word transcript. So far I've found nothing.

Moore is probably enjoying the dust-up though.

Oh snap! How lame and full of blasphemy is this! What is he doing?

In sociological terms, he is a prophetic voice using the media to point out what's wrong with our society and alert people to "wake up."

He was invited to Georgetown by a student-run organization. One of their other speakers was the director of NORML, an organization trying to legalize marijuana.

I don't think that his comments were meant to infer that Jesus was gay. Maybe it was just to remind people that while Jesus was on earth, he dined and socialized with prostitutes, tax collectors, and other marginalized groups in his culture. He challenged the establishment.

In his prophetic works, does Moore sometimes go over the top? Of course he does. It's hard to attract the attention of people who base their decisions on deceptive campaign ads financed by big business.
