      1. Saw someone referencing Idiocracy again, so I decided to finally look it up (since I haven't actually seen it yet), and came across this interesting take on it: salon.com/2016/03/05/idiocracys_curdled_politics_the_beloved_dystopian_comedy_is_really_a_celebration_of_eugenics_partner/

    Trying to synthesize the two... I agree with the Salon article that eugenics are bad, but I also think offending advertisers is good... how do you offend advertisers without also making fun of the people who fall for them? I guess it'd basically just take some humility...

      ...i.e., an admission that even smart people fall for advertisements. Which they do! And making comedy off of that could actually almost be funnier than mocking stupid people for being stupid, in a way...
