In the film, Erin Brockovich appears to deliberately use her cleavage to seduce the water board attendant to allow her to access the documents. [The real] Brockovich has acknowledged that her cleavage may have had an influence, but denies consciously trying to influence individuals in this way.
Photographs of variously mutated brown trout were relegated to an appendix of a scientific study commissioned by the J. R. Simplot Company, whose mining operations have polluted nearby creeks in southern Idaho. The trout were the offspring of local fish caught in the wild that had been spawned in the laboratory. Some had two heads; others had facial, fin and egg deformities.
Yet the company’s report concluded that it would be safe to allow selenium — a metal byproduct of mining that is toxic to fish and birds — to remain in area creeks at higher levels than are now permitted under regulatory guidelines.
I’m posting this only because I want to make an Erin Brockovich joke. And here it is: This is a job for Erin BrockoFISH!
Or like, SteFIN Soderbergh should direct a movie about this!
