This is getting interesting. Apparently the terror of human differences that characterizes our society has now advanced to the point where to say that

—Some persons are smarter than others,

and

—Smart people, net-net, don’t have as many babies as stupid people,

so that

—The world of the future might have no smart people in it, only stupid people (this is the premiss of Idiocracy),

is tantamount to declaring oneself a Nazi. Stop this movie!

Fox studios are doing their best. But why did they commission Idiocracy in the first place? Mike Judge is not renowned as a creator of happy-clappy sugar-coated comedies built around plotlines from the Acceptable Ideas chapter of the liberal playbook. Beavis and Butt-Head; Office Space; King of the Hill; Hel-lo?

I can’t come up with any explanation other than that the Fox suits are seriously stupid. Which means that the Marching Morons world postulated in Idiocracy may already be upon us.

Mike Judge is not, in fact, a Nazi. He is a Reaganite conservative. But hey, isn’t that, like, the same thing? Duh? Hngh-hngh-hngh.
