Idiocracy paints a picture of the world that is at once uproarious and eerily prophetic. As society gets more and more comfortable, knowledge and ethics become of less value. Everyone mispronounces words, food is unhealthy trash, diplomacy is non existent and no one cares, everyone is obsessed with sex and guns, and a professional wrestler is elected president. What I give Judge the most credit for is his fearless takedown of advertising and how it has infected the zeitgeist. Business names are unchanged, and painted in a very negative light. It might all seem ludicrous, but it's a hilarious take on the path that our culture is walking and I give Mike Judge and company a lot of credit for this one.
