Any of you see "Idiocracy"?

It was hard to watch, and left a deep impression.Watching such 
masterpieces as the recent "Carl's Jr."adverts for the Philly Steak 
Sandwich, where all dialog is reduced to little more than a series 
of grunts, or other popular entertainments such as "Jackass---the 
unstoppable marketing franchise based on kicking various random
hyperstupid people in the balls repeatedly"---I realized it's not 
gonna take 500 years to get to where Mike Judge was going. 
Incredibly harsh, and unfortunately apt, satire.

"Someone please prove to me that students are NOT getting 
more and more ignorant with each generation.  George must 
be doing a pretty high rpm in his grave.
