Done a search and im suprised no ones mentioned this film.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/
Was done by Mike Judge the guy who made Office Space.
I thought it was brilliant but also scarily accurate.
It's about the dim masses reproducing more and taking over the planet- the reasoning being that evolution doesn't neccessarily favour the most intelligent these days.
The humour lies not in the cheap toilet humour but just WHAT the masses find funny 500 years in the future and the uncanny parallels with rampany consumerism all around, a fusion of entertainment/and news/information and presidents winning elections Via campaigns from his porn show/film acting days.
Any other opinions about this film?

I guess stupid people are easier to control than intelligent ones. Perhaps we'll evolve into two species, like the Morlocks and Eloi of HG Wells' Time Machine.Edited by Simpo Two on Thursday 2nd April 16:07

Excellent film. It's a shame it didn't get more promotion when it came out.

I thought it did have some good points but generally just wasn't funny. Ironically it relied on the humour it was trying to mock in the Idiocracy TV shows.
Shame as I love Office Space.
But it had electrolytes?Shame as I love Office Space.
