Idiocracy
tried search and didn't see anything on it.
I just watched the movie Idiocracy. Solid 2 thumbs up from me. The heroes (Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph) are in an army experiment and are put in a deep freeze. Through odd circumstances, they wake up 500 years later. Instead of finding an improved, advanced society, they end up in a world of morons. Basically, the dumb have outbreeded the smart and society has fallen to its lowest common denominator. Polysyllabic words are gone. Sentence structure is gone. Luke is called a '[censored]' for the way he talks, etc. It's like WWE meets Jerry meets Britney Spears meets SuperSweet16. Luke and Maya are now, by far, the smartest people alive. Good laughs ensue. The film is by Mike Judge, of Beavis and Butthead fame. Ironically, its a moral statement to have people read and think more. Paraphrasing, Intelligence isn't ghey. Watch it!
