Right On...

The Conan O'brien Show

Parker and Stone were on the show tonight to plug their new movie. Conan asked them about their treatment of Michael Moore in the film. They gave an explanation for their particularly harsh treatment of him. When Moore was filming "Bowling for Columbine" he asked Matt Stone for a filmed interview that Moore would include in the film. As the film maker was from small town Colorado, conservative, and pro-firearm, he hesitated, but agreed to be interviewed, as he was only going to discuss living in small town Littleton, CO. Afterward, Moore asked Parker and Stone if they would do an animated piece for his film. They declined. In "Bowling for Columbine" directly after the Stone Interview there is a Parker and Stone-esque animated parody piece. It is made to look like Parker and Stone produced it for Moore. They most definately did not, and did not appreciate the fact that Moore manipulated the film to make it look like they did. They went on in the interview with Conan to say that they did not respect the way Moore manipulates facts and film to 'create facts or events' that in essence, are absent.

Parker and Stone called Moore a Liar and manipulator of fact on National Prime Time Television. I love it!

Go see Team America: World Police !
