It says a lot that this show has to be produced in England because the American networks don’t want to handle a show so controversial. Michael Moore, creator of the documentary “Roger and Me”, continues his attacks on corporate America. He finds people who are experiencing some sort of problem like layoffs or financial discrimination, or maybe their lives are being threatened by toxic waste or the fine print on a contract that even no attorney can understand.

Moore finds a way to confront the corporation in some comical form that is of course steeped in dark humour. He rarely gets beyond the front door or able to speak to anyone but a PR man (or woman), but sometimes, the fact that a company’s dirty dealings are being brought to the public’s attention, is enough for them to change their policy.

Moore helped a man’s HMO pay for an operation that saved his life, and he’s helped people get back their jobs. So his methods are at times, quite effective. But after several viewings I stopped watching because his aim seemed to be in just making fun or corporations and not really doing anything constructive.

It’s great for the working class to have a voice, especially one as striking and humourous as his, but I’d like to see him hit those companies where it will do the public some good instead of just below the belt. His show does have other types of satire as well though.

One of the funniest bits was a commercial he made with Sally Struthers, based on her commercials for people to send funds for starving children in Africa. Here she pleads for people to send TV sets to Afghanistan [the sets are parachuted out of airplanes].
