Al Gore's Movie For Free
Now this guy is dedicated, thank you Mr. Wade.

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,20414575-5006023,00.html

"A PASSIONATE environmentalist has vowed to pay the cost of 10,000 movie tickets to get people to watch a controversial new documentary on climate change.

Melbourne businessman Darrell Wade will spend about $150,000 to pay for tickets at any standard cinema to Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth.

The chief executive officer of Intrepid Travel said he wanted to increase awareness.

"I am happy to invest in ensuring as many people see this film as possible as I truly believe in the impact it will have," he said.
The offer is limited to the first 10,000 people to send ticket stubs to Intrepid Travel, with a limit of two tickets per person."

1. Now there's a question
Will ABC show "An Inconvenient Truth" for free?

3. Of course Disney/ABC would do this as a public service,
because even Disney/ABC now admits global warming is a major threat to life as we know it. I am waiting in eager anticipation for the run up to the 2008 elections when I am sure Disney/ABC will do the right thing and telecast it during prime time without commercial interruption.:eyes:

5. They have to ask Paramount first, though.

4. I often daydream about being able to do this.
Or buy 10,000 Press For truth DVD's to distribute.

Thank you, Mr. Wade!
