Outspoken Trump critic and fitness enthusiast Michael Moore has canceled his membership with SoulCycle over the owner's decision to host a Trump-related event.
SoulCycle, for those who don't know, is a popular exercise bike class. It's owned by a billionaire guy named Stephen Ross, who also owns those Equinox gyms. He also owns the Miami Dolphins.
Stephen Ross decided to host a Trump event at his house. Word got out, and a bunch of people became upset. Among those people was Michael Moore.
Here's the story:

Obviously the bigger issue here is political boycotts over petty things.
These boycotts have gotten out of hand.
People need to chill.
But people were also surprised to learn that Michael Moore has a gym membership, on account of the fact that he looks like he doesn't ever work out. That's a nice way to put it lol.
It's entirely possible that this was Moore's attempt at self-deprecating humor, as he is undoubtedly aware that he is disgustingly fat. If so, the joke is well-taken because he's a morbidly obese fatty. We're talkin Jabba the Hut—the guy looks like a giant slug with glasses. Still, it's difficult to credit the "self-deprecating" aspect of such humor, because he should be ashamed of being that fat. So in that respect, it's more sad than it is funny.
On the other hand, if Moore was being serious, that's pretty funny!
Anyway, glad it's Friday.
Comment, discuss, flame.
