Idiocracy

If you’ve not seen this Mike Judge (“Office Space”) film yet, I’d like to recommend it. I thought it was just another stoopid comedy Cooter was watching on the Comedy Channel, typical Hollywood crap served on a platter of hilarity. Actually, this movie is not funny at all. It’s a cautionary tale. One reviewer even said that “Idiocracy” will be viewed as historical documentary in 10 years.

The movie is about the rapid deceleration of IQ levels in the future U.S. based on dysgenic pressure, a sort of “reverse natural selection” where intelligence has been bred out. Stoopid people have simply outnumbered and overwhelmed genetically intelligent ones, since there are no natural predators.

Flim narrator: “Some had high hopes the genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources were focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections.”

There are so many ideas packed into this movie..the people wear synthetic clothing covered by advertising slogans and brands, they subsist on junk food and a mush of processed chemicals and watch mindless TV programming, the president is a former pro wrestler and porn movie star. The House of Representin’ won’t be able to save the conomy or prevent the garbage ambulanches! The people are starving and no one can remember how to grow food.

It’s an important film.
