This great documentary premiered tonight on HBO and I hope you could see it, or will be able to see it.

2 guys with cheap suits and fake Web sites hoax the big corporations.

I saw the second half, and will catch the other as soon as I can.

People obviously were cracking up but thought it was really Halliburton crap, and remained politely silent.

It was hilarious, though.

I have profit for the sake of profit.

Profit by innovating, working hard, and in an ethical manner, I am all for it.

So I'll see it when it comes out on DVD

...and they made some excellent points!! For instance, when the guy spoke in New Orleans as a representative for HUD, one guy exposed him because he found out he did not represent HUD. Surprisingly or maybe not depending on your perspective but I thought it was interesting that when the New Orleans residents found out he didn't work for HUD, it didn't really make a difference to them. I guess if you're lied to over and over again, when someone lies about being a part of the govt, it's not such a big deal!

I loved the meeting with the oil execs and the candles and also the Halliburton bubbles. The whole thing was very good!

Anyone who is interested in these kinds of issues will love it!

with a Tom Of Finland comic.:rofl:
