The Fahrenheit 9/11 director has been on the road with his 60-city
Slacker Uprising Tour -- with their Slacker Oath: 'Pick nose! Pick
butt! Pick Kerry!' -- hitting 20 battleground states, imploring
'slackers' who usually don't vote to get out to the polls this year
and make a difference in the presidential race. During each program
Moore invites 'habitual non-voters' on stage to pledge to vote,
presenting them gag prizes for their troubles.

'We want everyone to participate in this year's election, but not
because they were bribed or coerced by the likes of Michael Moore,'
said an overzealous Greg McNeilly, executive director of the state
Republican Party.

It's still has pejorative connotations in Australia...slacker.
as in "slack bastard". But I figured that's why they need BOB in
Canberra.
