Go see "The Informant" - ACORN vs. ADM...
If you want to see an example of a corrupt organization go see the movie "The Informant" - it's hilarious and exposes a REAL example of a corrupt organization, one that was corrupt at the TOP level, NOT the bottom.

I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Very funny - unfortunately, much of it true.
