Irish State TV decides not to show Loose Change

Just a quick update after this post. Apparently, after receiving a lot of complaints, the RTE TV station decided (correctly, to my mind) that Loose Change isn't suitable for broadcast. Yay :D

From what I can tell, lots of the campaign which got this Loose Change withdrawn from RTE was organised online. It therefore looks like, while the Internet can help films like Loose Change to spread, it can also help spread critiques of these films and perform a kind of self-gatekeeping - limiting how far these conspiracy theories can spread, and how seriously they get taken.

Anyway, does anyone know where can I find some exploding flying pigs to celebrate with?
