Have you seen Mike Judge's "Idiocracy?"
Edited on Sat May-19-07 10:56 PM by Adenoid_Hynkel
Absolutely brilliant. I've been meaning to ask opinions about it here for a while.
Judge captures current American society and the dumbed-down direction we're going in perfectly.

2. Yes
I thought it was a great, entertaining way to talk about the Jerry Springer generation we have become.

I highly recommend you read a story called "The Marching Morons" by Cyril Kornbluth. You will find it very entertaining.

3. Just watched it last night

I really liked it!

It made some very good statements on our current culture. I liked the rampant commercialization of everything.

"Carl's Jr!"

The scary part is that we've got a lot of people walking around today that are already that dumb.

"Ow, My Balls!" already exists. It's called "America's Funniest Videos".
