Heh:

    Ray Bradbury is demanding an apology from filmmaker Michael Moore for lifting the title from his classic science-fiction novel "Fahrenheit 451" without permission and wants the new documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" to be renamed.

    "He didn't ask my permission," Bradbury, 83, told The Associated Press on Friday. "That's not his novel, that's not his title, so he shouldn't have done it."

    [...]

    Bradbury, who hadn't seen the movie, said he called Moore's company six months ago to protest and was promised Moore would call back.

    He finally got that call last Saturday, Bradbury said, adding Moore told him he was "embarrassed."

Again, I say to you: Heh.
