Ray Bradbury Vs Michael Moore

Skippy tells us that Ray Bradbury is massively pissed that Moore used the basis of one of his titles, "Fahrenheit 451", in coming up with Moore's upcoming bushomentary entitled "Fahrenheit 911", due out June 25th.

In a word? Dumb. I like Bradbury but this is petty, and the story was only picked up by right-wing press organs. Similar titles are common place. For example, I've seen probably about 5-6 plays, movies, and books with the title, "Catch Me if You Can." It's about as assinine as Microsoft getting a patent on double-clicking.
