"Idiocracy" of America

planet_butthead70_4.jpgMike Judge, the creator of €œKing of the Hill€ and €œOffice Space,€ has made a brilliant little movie that the fucktards at Twentieth Century Fox DO NOT want you to see. It€™s called €œIdiocracy.€The film was almost completed over a year ago before being shelved by the studio. Judge, stuck with an unfinished film, appealed to his friend Robert Rodriguez, who supplied FREE special effects work to finish the project. Then Fox, obviously thrilled with this charitable arrangement, unceremoniously dumped the picture into video stores. Never fear, though € this gem will pick up steam just like €œOffice Space€ did before it. It€™s just that funny. The film stars Owen Wilson and Maya Rudolph as two average people in the 21st century who are frozen, only to awaken 500 years later. Unfortunately, natural selection has thinned the population of intelligent people, leaving only stupid, redneck, beer-swilling, monster truck-loving idiots to run the planet. Needless to say, things go terribly wrong. Judge is clearly disgusted by the current state of €œcivilization.€ He lashes out with sharp comedic barbs at the stupidity, laziness, and commercialization of America. His future has Costco€™s with thousands of aisles that contain everything, including colleges. He sees the highest rated television show being €œOw My Balls,€ about a guy that gets hit in the nuts repeatedly. The world€™s most successful film of the time is called €œAss,€ a movie starring a guy€™s ass for ninety minutes, and it won eight Oscars. Fuddrucker€™s has over time morphed into a family restaurant called €œButtfucker€™s.€ He envisions mountains of trash piled to the skies, and buildings that randomly fall over due to disrepair. The future might seem ludicrous until you notice that €œNorbit€ runs at the multiplex down the street, and WalMart is leveling a neighborhood near you. Judge managed to get these corporations to lend their names to this production (product placement!!!!), but they soon discovered what Judge was doing to their names, which no doubt played a part in this film€™s criminal shelving. Do not let the corporations win! RUN to your local video store and rent €œIdiocracy!€ The future depends on you!!
