As Nelson from the Simpsons says, "HA ha!"
As it turns out, the hard part won't be getting the film SICKO released, but getting audiences to pay to see it now that its available for free.
If the breach is as wide as it appears -- and this reporter downloaded a copy and watched it late Thursday night with ease -- Moore, and his distributor, The Weinstein Company, have a every film maker's worst marketing nightmare on their hands -- how to persuade people to go to the theater to see a show that's available free on the Internet.
Meanwhile, the blogosphere isn't reacting to the leak with anything approaching apolitical neutrality:
One pirate link encouraged potential downloaders to view the film online saying, "Watch this free copy and keep $ out of that fat fuck's hands."
I reiterate: "HA ha!"

While I find his movies entertaining, he is a hypocritical piece of shit. How much of that money that he will take home from this movie actually go to helping out some of the sick and uninsured people in America? My guess, none.
