I just had the opportunity to view one of the most poignant films of our time, Mike Judge's "Idiocracy". While I'll be one of the first to admit that I do tend to bask in the most idiotic of entertainment outlets from time to time, I can see the events of this story actually occurring sometime in our future.
The story is about a guy named Joe who is put into stasis for a one year experiment, but by a series of unfortunate events, ends up in suspended animation for 500 years. During that time, the human gene pool became more and more mucky with each generation, leading all of the people in the world to be complete idiots. Joe awakens only to find out that he is the smartest man in the world!
This movie isn't my all time favorite by any means, but it definitely opened my eyes, and watching how culture is slowly denigrating into pure stupidity, I can see that we're just a few generations short of this film!
Definitely check it out once it's released on DVD!
