Michael Moore's Next Movie: Banksters!

Awesome!

Mr Moore posted a letter on his website yesterday urging people who work or had worked for banks, brokerages and insurance companies to "step up as an American and do your duty of shedding some light" on the crisis.

The implosion of the banking system has already forced banks globally to write down almost £1 trillion and driven many of the world's major economies into recession.

The filmmaker, whose documentaries include Farenheit 9/11, which dealt with the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York, is in the middle of shooting the film, according to his Web site. He claims to have heard from a "few good people" already.

"Based on those who have already contacted me, I believe there are a number of you who know 'the real deal' about the abuses that have been happening," Mr Moore said. "You have information that the American people need to hear. I am humbly asking you for a moment of courage, to be a hero."

Mr Moore, who first announced the film project at the Cannes Film Festival in May, said that the identities of those who offer information will be kept anonymous.

7. This is good news

Anything as huge and important as the gigantic theft of money that the world has seen regarding banks, credit and derivatives really needs the services of Michael Moore to explain to those of us who are somewhat challenged by things monetary, so we can cut through the bull and spin and understand in simple terms what in the hell happened to all that money. Or even conceptualize what kind of unimaginably large numbers trillions of dollars actually is. I mean, McDonalds has been selling hamburgers for over 40 something years and they still haven't sold more than 100 Billion, if you can believe their sign that says "Over 99 Billion Served". You need a thousand billion to make a trillion.

I'll be sure to reference you every time I see the word though, if it makes you feel better.
