Michael moore should do some thing about corruption in Colombia

If you remember TV nation the weekly programme Michael Moore made which interestingly was made a big success by the BBC, because after a few trial programmes the BBC siad that they would fund half the costs of making a regualr programme. I would love to see Michael Moore in Colombia walking up to corrupt politicians and asking them difficult questions, I was just thinking what type of stunts could he pull of in Colombia.
Some of the things he did in tv nation were:

Make 12 car alarms go off at 3 in the morning outside the car alarm manufacturers MD's house.

gate crashing the ku klux klan with black cheer leaders singin 2 4 6 eight try love instead of hate

going to a hospital that only senators could use for free and saying can I use the facilities I am a united states citizen

getting a speed camera and catching police speeding and pulling them over

One idea for Moore in Colombia could be to go to a rich politicians house that has links to the cocaine trade with a big sign saying this house was built on cocaine to see what reaction you would get, that is the only idea I have but many people especially Colombians could probably come up with some great stunts that micheal moore could do in colombia.

Literally? *that is the only idea I have*

Indeed it is the only idea you ever have had or are ever likely to have - enjoy it Kerry/londonmaleorange

Same thing happens here in Florida GIB, I often see cars driving down the road with the alarm going.

A better solution would be imobiliser chips in the keys. Silent and effective.

I wonder if there is a market for lowjack in Colombia? Perhaps we could shove them up our ass so that if we are kidnapped they will at least know where we are, not that it would do any good.

They alrady have a lo jack type of thing There´s a few. One´s Sekurit, another is SINNET or something like that but it costs around $500,000 and when your car gets stolen, you call the police, they activate it and it kills the motor rendering the car useless (excpet for parts!).

To gringoinbogota You have given me a good idea for michael moore. Michael moore could be standing next to some police and he gets one of his colleagues to rob him. The police often dont do anything here and micheal moore then starts asking them awkward question and starts stating colombian law as to what a a police officers duties are. He could do some great stunts in colombia aand that is one of them

Don't waste it Don't waste such a good idea on Michael Moore! Get out there yourself with a camera and start name-calling druglord/politicians!

Next, walk out there into the jungle and challenge Tirofijo to a shooting contest!

Finally, get yourself kidnapped and ask the viewers to chip in for your ransom!

I'd watch that show.

Mr H. That is a great idea

Go on Kerry, introduce yourself to some druglords/rebels - you know I would chip in to get you released don't you?!?!?!
