Caught! Insurance Industry Snubs Sicko, The Rainmaker

No one said the insurance industry isn't witty and fun, right? But really, their PR people should be a little more careful!

Recently, we got a tip from J. Robert Hunter, Director of Insurance for the Consumer Federation of America, about a "top-10 list" of "insurance" films that the hip and edgy Insurance Information Institute (III) put up on their website. Hunter told us that the trade mag National Underwriter listed the 10 films, which included lots of old films (Double Indemnity, The Fortune Cookie). It also included a couple of newer ones, The Rainmaker, and the Oscar-nominated Sicko - neither of which looked too kindly on the insurance industry, so kudos to the III - hey, it's Oscar season right?

But then we got another tip from Mr. Hunter that we could hardly believe. Seems like The Rainmaker and Sicko have suddenly "disappeared" from III's top-10 list! Take a look... ( http://www.iii.org/media/research/insurancefilms/ )

Oops! Hey III, if you're going to censor yourself, it's probably not a good idea to get caught!
