Those burgers all finally caught up with him after all these years.
Damn, I liked his documentaries. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the premise behind Super Size Me, he was excellent at his craft. ~~And he seemed like a good guy.~~
The dude was completely full of shit lol
Spurlock's film follows a 30-day period from February 1 to March 2, 2003, during which he claimed to only consume McDonald's food, although he later disclosed he was also drinking heavily.
That could skew the results.
A doctor commented on how alarming it was that he suffered liver damage from the project - it was on a level they only saw in people drining heavily.
He also talks about how he was vegan early in the documentary, not long before the iconic 'getting a burger for the first time and throwing up in the parking lot' scene.
I always attributed that to the obvious "his vegan body can't handle eating all that meat at once" explanation, but him being an alcoholic would also explain that
Exactly. I prefer documentaries from people who don't go out of their way to lie to make a point. He's right on par with that Disney documentary that threw a bunch of lemmings off a cliff

They did what now?
The whole 'lemmings running off a cliff' thing is total bullshit. It came from a Disney documentary and they chucked/chased them off the cliff.

You think the alcoholic rapist was a good guy?
Hmm, didn't know about the rape allegations.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
