Google News?

After hearing that Michael Moore's film Farenheit 9/11, which examines the links between George Bush and the bin Ladens and how Bush handled the September 11 terrorist attacks, is actually going to be released, I decided to do a Google News search for 'Farenheit 9/11'. I was quite surprised to find that the second article that came up was a satirical piece from The Daily Farce, entitled 'Bushes' Daughters To Watch Farenheit 9/11; Bushes Decline Daughters' Graduation'.
I love satire. But you can't call this news.

Anyway, it turns out that Farenheit has been bought back from Disney (they weren't going to release it because apprently Disney consumers 'don't want to take sides' when it comes to politics) by Miramax.
The film is showing at the Cannes Film Festival in France. According to the Internet Movie Database, the film will be released in Spain on September 10. Hopefully it will be out in the US and Australia before our elections...
