In 2002, Stone was interviewed in the 2002 Michael Moore documentary, Bowling for Columbine. In the film, there is a short animated segment about the history of guns done in what has been described as a "South Park-esque" manner. Stone expressed anger over what he saw as a misleading attempt by Moore to insinuate that the South Park creators had a hand in the making of the film when in fact both Stone and Parker own guns as do their families. Subsequently, Michael Moore is portrayed in the film ' as a suicide bomber and described as an "annoying blowhard" and a "giant socialist weasel". However, Stone later stated that he does not "really hate the guy."
