Roddick doesn't seem to care that she is libeling Malkovich. He never threatened to shoot Fisk or anyone. She just twisted it around, in an Islamofascist, turnspeak manner. Anita Roddick Is a Moron (But Google Should Let Her Advertise) By Brian Carnell Friday, May 24, 2002 Anita Roddick is a moron. She repeats the nonsensical claim by idiotarian Robert Fisk that John Malkovich threatened to kill him. In fact what really happened was that Malkovich was talking to students when someone in the audience asked him who he would most like to "fight to the death." Malkovich replied that "I'd rather just shoot them" than engage in a fight to the death, and named Fisk and a Scottish MP as his candidates of choice. In the minds of lazy people unwilling to do any fact checking -- like Anita Roddick -- this has been transformed into some sort of overt threat on Fisk's life. But what is Google's point in preventing her from taking out an AdWords ad just because she called John Malkovich "a vomitous worm." What harm can come from allowing morons like Roddick to advertise? brian.carnell.com
