Idiocracy: “Not Realistic?”

As a writer of sci-fi myself, people tend to think something's "Not Realistic" when in fact it follows the proverb, "A bit dog howls."

Unfortunately, this is happening in real time, and the internet is the cause of it. Too many simplistic conversations, and while I don't believe it's caused by ill breeding, what it is caused by is information overload, and moving people from topic to topic.

Just for reference, in the past 3 months, there was an assassination on a CEO which was forgotten instantly, then a Black Hawk Helicopter that crashed into an Air Liner, and then a near disastrous episode where the president of Ukraine and Trump had a violent disagreement on Live TV.

So, just for reference, I think the movie has some extremely prescient thoughts regarding reality, and at the time it was released, in 2005 these problems were nascent, and you have to see the issue through Mike Judge's eyes, that it was spurred on by two people fighting at Disney, with strollers nearby. You have to see the tyranny of the Corporations threatening it with lawsuits for criticizing them... Which should never happen in a free country, as if you can't criticize power--including corporations--you have a real problem on your hand.

The show and all the controversy surrounding it, shows the lead up to what is happening right now. In stark nakedness.
