Spurlock’s got more than fries in his mouth
I was searching for indie filmmaker blogs and I found Morgan Spurlock’s on Indiewire - the post I stumbled on was a mea culpa letter, dated last week, about a recent appearance at a high school. His letter and the posts since are interesting but the responses are fantastic reading!
I can’t imagine going to a school to talk to kids and swearing at them. I haven’t met Morgan, maybe he was nervous, or like he says, trying to be familiar, or maybe he’s just kind of a jerk…but it makes me crack up to imagine the scene. He probably thinks of himself as a regular Joe, a doc filmmaker, and wouldn’t have imagined the backlash he would face from dropping a couple of f-bombs or other similarly well-thought-out comments. Poor guy!
