There is a movie that is being shown on I think Cinemax, I'd never even heard of it but DooDahs saw it over the weekend and then he INSISTED that I watch the beginning...
Concept is that smart people are having few or no kids, the idiots are having lots of kids, and that by 2500, the country is filled with ... morons.
Sounds about right, doesn't it....
:eek:

You kidding? I OWN this movie! :D I suggest everyone do the same. "You like food and sex? You're freakin' me out."
This move has some of the best one-liners I've ever heard.

I love this movie. It's written by Mike Judge (Office Space, Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill). I love how all branches of government now resemble professional wrestling. It's another one of those funny but disturbing movies because it has so much truth to it.
Try our new KICK ASS TACOS, NOW WITH KICK ASS FRIES!!!

That movie is an instant classic. I was watching it earlier today on CINEMAX and contemplating it's relevance to the state of the union today. I know a lot of RP supporters are pissed off at FOX News right now, and there is a terrific slam on FOX News towards the end of the movie when Joe is being sentenced to rehabilitation and FOX is providing commentary. The funniest part of all was that the movie was distributed by 20th Century Fox, which explains why people are just now hearing about this movie (it has been out for awhile but FOX didn't try too hard to distribute it).

A woman I date from time-to-time is of the school of thought that the best thing that could happen to society would be to remove all the warning labels. As she put it, "If you are stupid enough to use a blow dryer in the bath tub you deserve what you get."
I read something once that said something like: "I am thoroughly convinced we could rid the world of idiots by putting electric chairs in shopping mails with a sign the read 'Do Not Sit In This Chair And Whatever You Do, Do Not Push The Big Red Button.'"
"The ultimate result of protecting fools from their folly is to fill the planet full of fools." ~ Sir James Russell Lowell

I used to live in California, then I ended up in Oklahoma. I recently went back on a business trip to the same area in California that I used to live in. I was struck by the amount of warning signs that are hung EVERYWHERE in California. But now as I type this I am struck by the amount of warning signs just at my local WALMART in Oklahoma. Shit, the signs are migrating.

I know this movie is supposed to be a comedy, but it made it me sad.

"The ultimate consequence of protecting men from the results of their own folly is to fill the world with fools." ;)
The #1 movie in America was called "Ass." And that's what it was. For 90 minutes. It won four Oscars that year, including best screenplay.

I saw it.
In fact I got Cinemax specifically for it.
Everytime I hear about farming I thing of the dept. of the interior.
The weird part is that the president, prez?, actually was good for that position.

But they (the people) are all irrational, so the market is as well? :confused:

LOL, pretty much every line in that movie was a memorable line..
My faves:
Carl's Jr. Computer: Enjoy your EXTRA BIG ASS FRIES!
Woman at Carl's Jr.: You didn't give me no fries, I got an empty box.
Carl's Jr. Computer: Would you like another EXTRA BIG ASS FRIES?
Woman at Carl's Jr.: I said I didn't get any!
Carl's Jr. Computer: Thank you! Your account has been charged. Your balance is zero. Please come back when you can afford to make a purchase.
Woman at Carl's Jr.: What? NO!
[She hits the machine. An alarm goes off, and a sign appears on the computer saying "Carl's Jr. Frowns Upon Vandalism."]
Carl's Jr. Computer: I'm sorry you're having trouble. I'm sorry you're having trouble.
Woman at Carl's Jr.: My kids are starvin'!
Carl's Jr. Computer: [the woman kicks the computer, and it sprays a chloroform-like substance in her face, knocking her out] This should help you calm down. Please come back when you can afford to make a purchase. Your kids are starving. Carl's Jr. believes that no child should go hungry. You are an unfit mother. Your children will be placed in the custody of Carl's Jr. Carl's Jr...”Fuck You, I'm Eating."
[Joe approaches the computer]
Carl's Jr. Computer: Welcome to Carl's Jr. Would you like to try our EXTRA BIG ASS TACO? Now with more MOLECULES!
Doctor: [Laughs] Right, kick ass. Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but, ah... it says on your chart that you're fucked up. Ah, you talk like a ***, and your shit's all retarded. What I'd do, is just like... like... you know, like, you know what I mean, like...
Doctor: Don't worry scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now.
