"LOS ANGELES,
California (AP) -- Ray
Bradbury is demanding
an apology from
filmmaker Michael
Moore for lifting the title
from his classic
science-fiction novel
"Fahrenheit 451" without
permission and wants
the new documentary
"Fahrenheit 9/11" to be
renamed.

"He didn't ask my
permission," Bradbury, 83,
told The Associated Press
on Friday. "That's not his
novel, that's not his title,
so he shouldn't have done
it."


Now, check out WorldNutDaily's take on it. AP's wasn't filled with enough salacious verbiage for them...

"Judging by an interview with the author
conducted by the Swedish daily Dagens
Nyheter, Bradbury is steamed.

"Michael Moore is a screwed a--hole,
that is what I think about that case,"

Bradbury said according to an English
translation of the story. "He stole my
title and changed the numbers without
ever asking me for permission."

Continued the author: " is a
horrible human being - horrible human!"

When asked if he
agrees with
Moore's political
positions, Bradbury
replied, "That has
nothing to do with
it. He copied my
title; that is what
happened. That
has nothing to do
with my political
opinions."


Such a "fair and balanced" website they have.:eyes:
