This is regretable, but true.
I am not sure if you saw the movie, but, Moore attacks Bush not our culture in this movie. Implying that Moore's movie attacks our culture is a mistruth.

Also if you look at the list of palm d'or winners most of them have nothing to do with American culture.

Still - this probably was a "political" award. It says more about how strong world opinion is against the current administration than U.S. culture.
