"FacebookPinterest\n\n In 2003, director Morgan Spurlock ate McDonalds (exclusively) for thirty days and then made a film about it, the award-winning documentary Super Size Me. In 2007, for his next film, he went overseas to find Osama bin Laden. (Spoiler alert: He didn't find him.) Now he's producing a documentary about beer pong? We asked the (otherwise) socially conscious filmmaker to get on the phone to explain his involvement in Last Cup: Road to the World Series of Beer Pong\u2014 currently playing at a college town near you.\n\n So, The World Series of Beer Pong? Really? \n\n I saw Last Cup and all of my college memories came rushing back. It's such a great sports film. One guy calls his mom, and he's crying. These are real people who care about what they do. They look at beer pong as a serious sport.\n\nA serious sport you can play in diapers.\n\n Yes, as you see grown men in the film do.\n\n **\n\n Were you good at beer pong in college?**\n\n When beer pong first started, years ago, at Dartmouth, the students would play with paddles\u2014which is how we played at NYU. What they play in the film is a new form of beer pong, Beirut.\n\n **\n\n Don't dodge the question. Were you any good?**\n\n I was pretty good. That was a game we took great pride in practicing.\n\n **\n\n Is beer pong a skill\u2014like darts?**\n\n It's a very analogous way to look at it.\n\nI read that you're in the process of turning the bestselling book Freakonomics into a documentary. \n\n There are five different directors, each directing a part of the film. I think the plan was to try to premiere it at Sundance next year, but I don't know if the other directors are going to be done or not. We finished our part.\n\nWhat's your section about?\n\n I directed the last chapter of the book: \"Rashonda By Any Other Name.\" It asks, Does what you name your kid matter?\n\nAh, yes. The subtitle of that chapter: \"How do babies with super-black names fare?\" You did this documentary-style?\n\n We went out talking to people about their names, telling some dramatic stories based upon the text, like the father who named his kid Winner, the woman who named her daughter Temptress. She thought she was naming her after Tempestt Bledsoe from The Cosby Show, but she actually named her Temptress. There are people who strongly believe that names have a place in what level of success you have. Though Englebert Humperdinck changed his name to Englebert Humperdinck. That's not the name of a successful person.\n\n **\n\n What about the name Morgan Spurlock?**\n\n That's actually my real name. People think it isn't, but my mom gave me that name. I like my name.\n\n **\n\n It has served you well.**\n\n Nice job, mom.\n\nBy the way: Where's Osama? \n\n Maybe he's coming to a beer pong tournament near you. You better be on the lookout."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
