Lazy Trolls on film are no Michael Moore

I get the jokes with the inflatable phallus, recycled food and the WTO disbanding played on audiences who showed apathy, unfocused disgust and gullibility, respectively. That is the nature of the audiences they were making presentations to. But that's it. I didn't learn a thing from this movie about what is wrong with the World Trade Organization.

A good documentary on the WTO could had included interviews or provided statements of the WTO ministers and identifying some of the more ridiculous and/or destructive policies that are enriching corporations at the expense of people. A good documentary would had brought forth ideas about how the WTO should be changed. That's the documentary Michael Moore would had made. Whatever else you can say about Michael Moore's best box office documnetaries, you can't argue that they didn't have a lot of work.

Instead, these guys spent much of the film hunched over computers brought to them cheap by WTO policies and patting themselves on the back for being clever. So these guys are not satirists, because satire needs to have a context to be a satire.
