Overstock.com to send Military5k copies anti Michael Moore Propoganda FREE

[Red State Rebel]

www.moorewatch.com - Tuesday Oct. 12 entry.

They have made this video called Farenhype that they say contradicts Farenheit 9/11 and they are sending 5000 free copies to people in the military in Iraq.

<i>My name is patrick byrne, and I am the CEO of Overstock.com. We own the rights to distribute this film and are interested in getting this into as many GI hands as possible. Towards that end, we will send 5,000 DVD’s to Iraq for free for distribution among the troops. However, we are looking for a way to make sure they get there and get distributed quickly.</i>

The rest of the blog entry gives more information on how this got started.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!!!! Can you say boycott???

1. I'll say it: BOYCOTT!!!

:grr:

2. I think this is cool

Robert Greenwald told an interviewer
yesterday that he wanted buyers of Outfoxed
to make copies and pass them out to others.

What's your problem with this?

[RafterMan]

5. The problem is

we oppose pro-Bush media giveaways and support pro-Kerry meida giveaways. Didn't you get the memo?

It's only three weeks. Even the Democrats can stay on message that long.

6. Oh, sorry, dyslexia....I read Farenheit, not FarenHype...my bad

Sorry, I take it back....boycott

[RafterMan]

8. That's the spirit!

3. You sir have my business.

Screw you. NO orders. Not now, not ever, NEVER !

You know how many grains of sand there are in the Sahara Desert. Well double it! That's the odds of you ever getting another order from me.

4. huh?

boycott the distribution of 9/11 to troops in Iraq? why? or should we be boycotting Moorewatch.com? confused...or did i miss sarcasm?

7. FahrenHYPE 9/11 is what's being given away

[Claire Beth]

9. Wrong movie....

they are distributing "FahrenHYPE 9/11" not Fahrenheit 9/11...I think is what the poster is saying...just in case you didn't catch that.

[Touchdown]

11. It's FarenHYPE 9/11

It's a right wing camcorder tape that tries to debunk Michale Moore's movie...very badly from what I hear.

Fahrenheit 9/11 is not being distributed for free.

14. it is showing there though

13. I edited the thread title to help with any confustion.... n/m

[SkipNewarkDE]

16. It's FahrenHYPE 9/11, not Fahrenheit 9/11

It's a Michael Moore hit piece.

10. What do you expect

from a company out of Salt Lake City?

[Joy Anne]

12. yes

Let's respond to the next bit of overstock.com spam we get.

[goodboy]

15. I've been actively boycotting Rush Limbaugh advertisers for years

[AirAmFan]

17. What a hit 'Fahrenhype 911' must be! A bottom-of-the-barrel basement store

evidently has sold so few copies it wants to GIVE them away. Most likely, many of the people who did buy it thought they were going to get Michael Moore's movie!

But I agree Overstock.com shouldn't be allowed to spam for Stupid without suffering retribution.

18. Crap is all you can get at Overstock.

Good to see they're not changing that up.
