Dum it down.

This weekend Dave brought home an excellent movie!

Idiocracy is a Mike Judge (From Office Space) film and it is a fantastic statement on current society and where it is all headed if we keep this nonsense up.

The above picture shows the president 500 years from now. Everything is run by corporations like Karls Jr. and this Gatorade stuff IS the drinking water. Also – everyone is super dumb and is rewarded for being dumb and having numerous kids. And there is a Costco that takes more than an hour to get through. And the number one show on TV is “Ow my balls” where a guy gets repeatedly hit in the nuts. You get the idea.

It was startling that it all seemed so … possible. But then I thought to myself Noooooooo people want to be smart! People want to be good people! And I tried to forget the stupidity (totally real and hilarious though it may be) until this morning when I was driving to work. Is it really necessary for your Dodge Magnum to have a license plate frame that says “My other car is a Fucking West Coast Chopper”? Or how about the filthy 1988 Ford Escort that says “Don’t assume I cook” What? Or apparently clean either ….

And then the Piece de la resistance - the giant lifted truck with like 500 inch wheels that has two golf balls hanging in a nylon sock from the trailer hitch to let me (the person driving behind you) know that you have an enormous set of testicles. (Nevermind the fact that if you need to tell us how big your nuts are we pretty much know that really they are tiny and adorable – or maybe you’re missing one) Is that really necessary? And is it necessary for you - the lady on the 405 to let us all know with your bumper sticker that you can go from 0 to bitch in 4.5 seconds? Because that is just the kind of statement that someone wants to explain the meaning of to their kindergartner that is just learning to read. Wait – do they even teach reading in kindergarten anymore or is that like a 6th grade thing?
