Michael Moore ambushed at Cornell

During the session, Matt Hirsch '02, a former Sun News Editor, approached the stage and presented Moore with a fake check of $10,000, Moore's honorarium for the appearance.

Despite lack of a microphone, Hirsch told the audience that Moore made more money off of this one speech than many teaching paraprofessionals make in one year.

"Motherfucker ... You come down with your check making a big-ass statement. ... I give this money away to organizations I support," Moore responded angrily.

After the lecture, Hirsch explained his actions.

"When one person's time -- and a short time at that -- is worth $10,000, there's a serious problem in the way in which we value people."
