Michael Moore Swallows Microphone

It is a well known fact that Michael Moore is a bit of an attention whore.  He loves to be on camera, and he love it even more when there is a microphone in front of his face so that he can share his wealth of knowledge with the world.  Moore's appetite for attention is surpassed only by his appetite for the finer things in life (a.k.a. food).

What isn't as commonly known, is that these two craving's make Moore a very dangerous man.  He may appear to the untrained eye as a harmless, obese American, but nothing could be further from the truth.  A recent interview with Moore had to be cut short and the reporter rushed to the hospital after his hand was almost completely severed from his arm after Moore voraciously attempted to swallow the mic while the reporter held it up to capture Moore's response.

Doctors have able to fully reattach the hand and a full recovery is expected; unfortunately nothing could be done to save the microphone.  I wanted to hear Moore's perspective, but he refused to make a statement over the phone.  Frankly, I just wasn't brave enough to interview him in person so soon after this horrendous occurrence.
