Sicko will be projected on HMO, Insurance Companies and Hospital buildings!!!

[IChing]

In the wake of the internet leak, The Weinstein Co are doing all they can to promote Sicko. It makes me wonder if they hired new people since the Grindhouse disaster. The latest idea involves the movie trailer for Michael Moore’s latest to be projected on buildings across the country on Monday June 25th, beginning at sundown through 1:00am.

The trailer will be projected with full sound and subtitles on the outside of buildings near the headquarters of leading HMOs, insurance companies and hospitals in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Oakland. Sounds almost like one of those clever commercials by the anti-tobacco group Truth. Check out a full list of locations after the jump.

LOS ANGELES
Projection Site: 4343 W. Sunset Blvd.
Locations of interest nearby:
Kaiser Permanente Medical Center
Hollywood Community Hospital
Health Net
Guardian Rehabilitation Hospital

Great idea! Promotes the film while shining a "spotlight", if you will, on the buildings of those who are a big reason for the health care problem.
