Super Size film-maker labelled rude after school speech

Film-maker Morgan Spurlock was nominated for an Oscar for his McDonald's documentary Super Size Me, but the reviews were mixed for a profanity-laced, politically incorrect speech he gave to several hundred high school students.

Spurlock, who ate nothing but McDonald's meals for 30 days to make his Oscar-nominated 2004 documentary, joked about the intelligence of McDonald's employees, using an Indian accent as he imitated a cashier trying to figure out how to ring up a hamburger. He also joked about "retarded kids in the back wearing helmets" and teachers smoking pot in the balcony.

Most students gave Spurlock a standing ovation but a speech he was to make at the school later that night for community members was cancelled.
