Anyone seen Bowling for Columbine yet?

I'm not a big Michael Moore fan, but the scene of him opening an account at a Michigan bank and getting a free gun has me intrigued. What ever happened to free toasters or TV sets in excange for a new account?

Edit: This post from an IMDB thread is interesting:

Bowling for Columbine is about separating you from your cash and placing it in Mr Moores wallet and doing that by preying on divisions he knows split the American society. Suggesting that his is some noble goal is peurile and naive. Show me Mr Moore donating his share of the profits, or even a sizeable amount of his profits, to a charitable organization dedicated to eradicating violence and i might give him some leeway. Otherwise, its propaganda by a self-pandering huckster who pimps out the Columbine tragedy for his own end and, as much as he ridicules those he disagress with politically, must be secretly laughing his blubbery butt off at those conned by his shyster bs.

If Mr Moore was really concerned about saving lives, (he loves to quote 11 thousand gun related deaths - how about 940 thousand obesity related deaths per annum) he'd do a film on the evils of the fast food industry .... Like that will EVER happen *snicker*
