"Idiocracy"...funny movie!

      I watched this movie today. It was so funny!    (SPOILER ALERT) It brought out some good points as well about American culture.It was a huge satirical leap of course. But some things were really kind of spot on. The people were really into stupid reality TV which, sorry, many Americans ARE. The TV had gotten so low class 500 years in the future, though, that the Oscar winning movie of the year was 90 minutes of someone showing their butt and farting. Wow.
    Commercialism had gotten rampant with everything sporting labels of various kinds: people's clothes looked like Nascar cars. The only thing to drink was a sports drink....no one drank plain water. They memorized the commercial and spouted like robots "But it has electrolytes!"
     People's IQ's are so low that the character played by Luke Wilson, an average guy, is now the smartest guy on the planet. He gets raised to a big government job, which in that day is mostly done in an MTV-Monday night smashdown--kind of format. He teaches them that sports drink won't work to grow crops and they need to give them, GASP!, water.

Anyway it was really funny! I am glad I caught it to watch it today!
