... is considering this a symbol of gratitude to his fans for his career to date. Shame he's only got fans in North America then. Michael Moore states on the Slacker Uprising film site : "This is being done entirely as a gift to my fans. The only return any of us are hoping for is the largest turnout of young voters ever at the polls in November." You know I can't really help but wonder what this is all about.
