If you have not watched the documentary, Idiocracy, you really should do it. Now. Intended to be a satirical look at how modern culture has succumbed to what Neil Postman wrote about in his article, “Future Schlock,” the film demonstrates a society that has been “amused into stupidity.” Of course, it is not really a documentary, but it might as well be.

It is time for them to go home. If they prefer to live in trash and squalor, then they can do so elsewhere. We do not want it here.
