This is a wonderful movie that got snuffed out by Fox, but the introduction says everything that has to be said about demographics.

1. This shows the reality of our present situation.

The arrogance of our species is destroying the only place we have to live.

2. I did not see a single Hobbit

3. It's an hilarious movie

I've been recommending it to people cuz it hasn't gotten much promotion, if any.

It reminds me of the Mort Sahl line about how when we had 5 million people in this country we had Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, etc. and now with nearly 300 million we have people like Bush and Cheney running the country. Obviously, Darwin was wrong.

4. now THAT was funny

and scarily similar to conversations that my wife and I have had about the topic.

5. I thought of this before.

6. Funny, yet frightening

There's some sad truth to that.

7. If only Clevon could have got together with Carol

IQs of (141 + 81) / 2 = 111, things would have evened out.

However there would have been about 25 Einsteins within that small country he fathered in his local neighbourhood, go figure. :shrug:

8. Bummed I can't rec that

I haven't seen the movie yet, but that looks hysterical!
