The Awful Truth (TV show)
The Awful Truth was the name of a satirical American television show which was directed, written, and hosted by Michael Moore. The show emulated newsmagazine shows by producing documentaries, but the format of the program diverged by presenting each documentary in front of a "live" audience. The Awful Truth focused on exposing supposed problems in American government, business, and society, while proposing often outlandish solutions to those problems.
Notable scenes included:
- A group clad in Colonial clothing show Ken Starr how to conduct an economical witch trial.
- Crackers, the corporate crime fighting chicken, travels to Disney World to confront Mickey Mouse about unfair labor practices;
- The Sodomobile, a pink van loaded with gay men, travels from state to state fighting for homosexual rights.
