Morgan Spurlock's Average-Guy Shtick Makes Michael Moore Look Like Noam Chomskynew
There comes a time in every humorist's life when he has to ask himself: is my facetiousness actually contributing to global ignorance? In Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?, the matter of whether Spurlock's ignorance is comically assumed or genuine begins not to matter.
