2. This must be a fake site
Even Moore's site doesn't give a link to this URL.

And it probably won't, since the film won't be seen by ANYBODY until tomorrow.

MM will give us a real link soon.

3. Probably hacked.
Moore would never sell his site to O'Lielly.

11. How so? Was Michael Moore talking about this movie in 2004?
I'm not asking that to be snarky, *I* just heard about this movie 2 days ago, on here (I hardly ever watch tv). These are just generic terms/names. Cybersquatting was the people who registered domain names like coke.com or mcdonalds.com when domain names first became available to the general public, then sold them to the businesses for literally millions of dollars. Thats where your dot com millionares came from.

Sometimes you just get lucky in the domain name game. I was looking through the domain auctions last night on godaddy.com and was suprised to see several, like more than 20, that were selling for $50,000 or more. There was one selling for $124,000 and one for $178,000. When I say "selling", I mean they had bids on them already for this amount.

Last week, when they announced that the DoD was shutting down troop access to myspace, youtube, etc., I checked (fully expecting the name to already be taken) www.militaryunderground.com and it was available! I got it, the .net and the .info .... for less than $20. It appraises at $100,000 - $150,000 without a website. Just the name...

I've got it up for sale for $50,000. Maybe I'll get lucky, maybe I won't, but it was like buying $10 worth of lottery tickets except that I have a whole year to sell that name before it needs to be registered again, for another $10.

Don't begrudge the little man for trying to make a buck, it may be all he has to look forward to....

Peace!

Ghost

9. That's very funny. As if it will influence anyone who goes there by mistake.
Too funny.

12. I don't ever recall Moore using individual URL's for his movies
He always directs people to http://www.michaelmoore.com

At least he did with F9/11.

And he did announce this movie back in '04. I've been hearing about it since then, along with a sequel to "Fahrenheit 9/11."
