From the link:

"The last geniuses died perfecting advanced methods for regrowing hair and sustaining erections, beautifully illustrated by a quick cutaway shot of a lab monkey with what looks to be a Jheri curl, a lit stogie, and a gigantic boner."

LOL...... yeah, sounds like a Mike Judge project .

My brain's power supply was going into overcurrent shutdown.

I don't care who wrote it, who is his drug dealer ?

Shit, this sounds like it makes FSTA look like a third grade primer.

It is one or the other.

Actually Idiocracy is starting to sound like something I want to read. Or see.

It's a pretty clever film, I thought. It features a dumbed-down future of brand named sponsorship of the country, a language made up of a combination of redneck, street slang, and various noises, and an over-sexualized society. One of my favorite quotes is when the main character asks if there is a Starbucks nearby. The answer he gets from the other character is "There is, but we really don't have time for a hand-job right now."

Be well,
Julie

I just watched this movie last night, the humor had it's momens but the content was actually a bit scary in the truth of how the wrong people always seem to be the ones with a million kids popping out of the wood work . Just because you can breed doesn't mean everyone should lol.
