I see that we have a folder section for Alejendro and Telephone, shouldn\'t we have a Paparazzi one as well? Just an idea.

\\\"Sicko\\\" being a work of MichaelMoore (who is well known for his penchant for making DocumentaryOfLies), I would highly doubt that proves anything you\\\'re saying.
Also, the historical examples you cite are TheThemeParkVersion of actual events, and claiming that the real-world United States was just as bad as the fictional Confederate States is [[DudeNotFunny really offensive]]. It\\\'s like the people who say Galileo was persecuted by the Catholic Church \\\'\\\'just\\\'\\\' for advocating heliocentrism, when that\\\'s not what happened at all.
The \\\'\\\'real\\\'\\\' point of \\\'\\\'CSA: Confederate States of America\\\'\\\' is to examine the issue of racism from a provocative standpoint, not to paint real-world Americans as evil imperialists. Here\\\'s the comments from Kevin Willmott, the director, from the official site:
-->\\\'\\\'\\\"Often, when I would submit scripts to Hollywood that in some way dealt with slavery or the issue of race in a historical context, they would tell me that slavery is not \\\"commercial\\\" and that no one is interested in this side of American life.\\\"\\\'\\\'
Also:
-->\\\'\\\'\\\"I started to think how I could approach the subject in a new way. How could you make slavery and the reality of the Confederacy fresh in the minds of an audience? That is where the idea germinated.\\\"\\\'\\\'
And:
-->\\\'\\\'\\\"I hope that audiences find the film a provocative and entertaining look at slavery, race and the American way of life.\\\"\\\'\\\'
