I saw Mike Judge’s Idiocracy tonight. You can be excused for never having heard of this movie, seeing as how 20th Century Fox sat on it for two years and released it to fewer than a dozen markets with no publicity last fall, but it is a riotous tale about what might happen if Morons Ruled the World. It’s flawed — a lot of times, the premises are better than the execution and parts of the movie are just frankly bad — but it does bring to mind the lyrics from Harvey Danger’s “Flagpole Sitta”:

Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding
And I don’t even own a TV.

Highly recommended as a fun rental. Contains: Monster trucks, garbage avalanches, pro wrestler presidents, lots of fart jokes, Starbucks restaurants that offer you a latte “with release,” tubs of butter, whole TV channels dedicated to self-pleasuring and the funniest Costco reference you will ever see.

P.S.: It’s designed to make you think. Really.
