What the "h"?

I haven't been keeping exact count, but the word "Fahrenheit" seems to have been misspelled in at least half of the professional media references I've seen to the new Michael Moore film, Fahrenheit 9/11. Everyone seems to want to drop that first h.* The latest culprit is A.M. New York, page 12, column 2.

UPDATE: A pair of interesting reports on Fahrenheit 9/11 by Roger Ebert, from Cannes:

* I also wish the first h had never been dropped from "George H. W. Bush."
