Just a heads up that tonight Morgan Spurlock, also known as the man who was willing to die to save your child from Happy Meals, kicks off his show 30 Days on the FX network.
Riding the wave of activism-by-example that he touched off with his Oscar-nominated film Super Size Me, which featured a lot of burgers, Mr. Spurlock for the next six weeks will conquer as many evils as producers allow. His method? Using die-hard tactics—but with other people walking the plank this time—to teach us (and them) a lesson. These include de-programming fundamentalist zealots, educating a straight man on homosexual domesticity, and turning MADD moms into drunk drivers to really get the point across. OK, we're just goofin' on that last one, but one episode does feature a mother binge-drinking to teach her sorority-girl offspring a lesson.
Interestingly, he told the New York Times that he shopped the idea around to four major networks before FX bit. Mr. "My Liver Loathes Micky D's" only appears in the series premiere, living with his fiancée on minimum wage in Columbus, Ohio [The home of White Castle — Ed.] And, sources tell me that he's been shooting at a "drive-thru burger joint." Whether it's for the show or something else, we're not sure.
Kudos to Mr. Spurlock for not giving up on the world. We love a burger lover who has lofty ideals. As for his vegan honey, well, we'll just pretend we don't know about that.
